I don't have a van mounted pressure washer yet and the weather doesn't bother me in the slightest but will my pressure washer be ok out in the heavy rain whilst I'm working? Tried Googling this and got mixed results so hoping someone on here with experience can help me. Thanks, Paul

Depends on what washer you've got. Petrol, Diesel, electric ? My petrol washer gets soaked often and is absolutely fine, just make sure no water gets in your fuel tank. You could make some kind of make shift shelter for it to keep the worst of the weather off maybe a wheelie bin each side of it with a piece of hardboard/cardboard across the top

It's a petrol washer Simon but thanks for the reply I did the job this morning in heavy rain and was all fine. Love the idea of a make shift shelter but left it out in the open as it needed a good rinse down anyway lol

I also have a petrol one and regularly use it in the rain with no problem at all.
Gets very hot near the exhaust outlet so dont place it too close to a wheelie bin.

Yes, my lad did this when using my petrol engine p washer and put a hole in my bin, had to throw it away, gets proper hot at times so beware near anything that can get damaged by heat - Steve

I used to use mine in the rain before I van mounted it.

If your worried buy a fishing umbrella
