15 LITRES PER MIN SHOULD BE RUNNING 045(1.4MM) SIZE NOZZLES FOR 3000PSI.
THIS SIZE OF MACHINE IS THE ONE FOR USE AROUND DOMESTIC/LIGHT INDUSTRIAL JOBS.
PLENTY BIG ENOUGH FOR CLEANING ANYTHING MORE POWERFUL COULD END UP DAMAGING THE SUBSTRATE
ANYTHING BIGGER YOU WILL STRUGGLE FEEDING WITH WATER AS MOST WATER SUPPLY'S PRODUCE AROUND 13/16 LITRES PER MIN
21 LITRE BOILERS ARE IDEAL FOR THIS MACHINE BUT 15 LITRE ONES WORK FINE TO.
STEAM HOT WATER DOES HELP WITH CLEANING STONE WORK TO A CERTAIN EXTENT BUT NOT REALLY NECESSARY. IF YOU ARE CLEANING GREASE /OIL ETC THEY ARE REALLY A NECCESSITY!
BUY HONDA BUY ONCE!! INTERPUMP/CAT/COMET ARE THE ONLY PUMPS TO HAVE.
CHECK THE ENGINE IS A GENUINE HONDA .CHECK THE PUMP IS NOT MADE IN CHINA.....I REALLY DO NOT CARE HOW LONG THE WARRENTY IS AS THESE ARE RETURN TO BASE WARRANTY WHICH MEANS YOU MUST SHIP IT BACK TO THE SELLER FOR REPAIR (£50 ? BY COURIOR!) AT YOUR EXPENCE.

Thanks for the info Chris
So from your experience would steam pressure cleaning remove oil stains & black algae spotting from pavers?

Yes it certainly helps. I probably only get my hotbox out of the container a couple of times a year

Because its not necessary most of the time. ive got one mounted in my van and its been on about 6 times. Nice to have it though when you need it. most oil stains can be taken out with chems and cold water.

Sodium hypo chlorate@10% for black spots or quaternary ammonium (slower but effective over a longer period of time)
