Thread: petrol water blaster's

any one recommend a petrol water blaster, got a good one on the farm but want one at home just to wash bikes,trailer and truck etc. Doesn't need to strip paint but more pressure then the garden hose
Some thing along the lines of this has two year warranty https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/dewal...0-psi/p/317722
$500 to $800 budget

The DeWALT one Looks the part. I can advise that the ones with Honda motors have valve gear wear trouble.

I got one from the stihl shop, not a stihl. Very happy with it.

Pretty good deal on the smaller Honda power shots from Savebarn at the moment

Have a model or two up from that one that we use on the farm, cleans a few bikes, a couple of Ravs, Tractor, calfaterias etc weekly and we've had a good few years out of it and zero problems

I agree but there’s something about Honda motors on water blasters. The valve gear on my brothers one wore out and we did a little research and found it’s quite common for Honda’s to do this but only water blasters. I think he still got a good run out of it and we fitter a cheap Chinese engine and it’s going well.

With an Italian pump like an Annovi Reverberi coupled with a Honda GX series, you can’t really go wrong. The Honda GC Series motor is a lesser quality unit akin to a LiFan. Still fine for home use, but if you want the lifespan and piece of mind, go with the GX.

I got one from a place called "Pressure solutions" in Auckland.

Honda engine, Italian Pump, Proper hose etc.
Cost $1600 but should last a lifetime.

I want to spend half of that we have a honda dirt buster 2 on the farm but its a pain bringing home when wanting to use it at home, just get it in my shed and hasn't been used for months and the boss wants it.

If @Ryan_Songhurst hasn't managed to kill it, that's a pretty robust bit of kit

I was trying to get away from power leads, but i might look at a good quality electric. Kärcher have a real good warranty 7yrs on one unit i look at

Also am only getting around 8.5l -9l a minute of water at the moment at the end of the hose. Will try changing tapes and couple fittings but want get a lot more flow

With petrol water blasters do they need to be used regular or can they sit there for 6 months & go good as new

Mine seems to be fine.
I CRC it after using it, and generally be nice to it though.
