A Guide to Tri-mode Electric Pressure Washers


Electric pressure washers, or any pressure washing machine for that matter, are often judged by their output pressure level. A machine with a high pressure level, within the range of 8000 psi, is considered an industrial machine suitable for heavy duty degreasing. On the other hand, a machine with a low output pressure level that runs around 1000 psi, are considered less powerful machines.

Experienced cleaning workers know that these machines are not all about output pressure level. Output temperature also plays a significant role in the overall performance of the machine. The following is an overview of electric pressure washers based on the output temperature of the machine.

Cold Water Machines
These machines do not have a heating element. As a result, water cannot be heated. The cleaning power of the machine depends only on its output pressure level.

Hot Water Machines
Such electric pressure washer machines can provide two kinds of output: cold water and an output heated up to 205°F. These machines are more versatile than the cold water machines and are more widely used as well.

Steam Machines
Such machines provide the maximum possible output temperature by a pressure washer. The latest models provide an output temperature of 330°F. These are mainly used for industrial and commercial cleaning.

Tri-mode Machines
Tri-mode configured electric pressure washers offer all the three kinds of output: cold water, hot water and steam. These machines are extremely versatile and powerful.
