Hi all
Just getting into masonry cleaning, using a Karcher 120 bar pressure washer at the moment, but need
something with a bit more power, can anyone recommend a machine and what psi/ bar should i be looking at.
many thanks

We use 250 bar @ 21 lpm, works well but need to figure out a better way of applying the acid as its eating the metal in my backpack.

Thats double what i am using .Is it worth getting a heated one so that i can use it to strip paint from stone work.

This pic always sticks in my mind when anyone talks about brick cleaning using a pressure washer and what can go wrong getting the walls to wet.
Not the result to chap was hoping for to say the least
