Your pressure washer needs to syphone the water from the butt meaning you can keep a high pressure, only porblem is you need to wait for it to refill all the time. Not ideal, but sometimes you need to do it.

hi there
you can be a little more ingenious, cut a whole in the side of the water butt at high level, and fix a standard ball valve, with a bit of copper on the other end, therefor you can connect upto to the client tap outlet and leave it running, then you can either syphon out to the pressure washer, or cut an outlet at low level, and insert the fitting and a piece of copper and away you go.

I've had a couple of jobs with poor pressure recently on both jobs i was told that the pressure could be turned up more ,upon getting there the customer then said that it was at full pressure.
Sometimes running two feeds into your butt may help out , one from the outside tap and one from the kitchen sink.
