Presure washers
Discussion
Can you get an electric pressure washer that will take a water feed from a water tank ? I live in apartment block and washing my car is one big pain in the bum at this time of year. At the moment its a case of lugging 4 buckets of water down to the car park area, but this is less than ideal. I was hoping for a small electric pressure I can store in my garage and feed it from a plastic water storage tank,but wasn't sure if these require the water pressure from a tap to draw from. The garage and car park area is in a court yard type area, so I can't really use a petrol washers due to the noise - my garage is directly below someones apartment and the court yard makes every noise seem ten times louder than it is.
Does anyone have a rough idea what a small pressure washer would use per min in water ?

The Kranzle K7/120 is a very good machine for your needs.
It will pull up from 2 metres and is really quiet. Built to a very high standard, should last many years. I have one that I have in everyday use, here's a link, note: there are 2 machines on the page - K10 and K7, the K7 is the one you would need to use from a water tank. -

Apologies for bringing a topic up from the dead but......
I am in a similar situation but have access to electricty and wanted to know if anything is on the market or that I should look for to meet my needs, weekend car washer don't normally use the higher powered settings as I have products for that work ???
£100 would be my max and I can get a discount from Bosch if they are any good ??? and would suit my needs.
FYI - I have used my dads small Karcher hand held thing with a 25 litre jerry can and it seemed ok, probably buggered it in the long term but he wont know that.
Cheers

Cheers morebeanz I can get it for £108 for that model or £129 for the 1250 with integrated tank. if I could justify it I would go with the pro range but even with the discount they come in at £231 for the 150 pro and £270 for the 160 pro x.
Decisions decisions, my only worry is that none of them state they are capable of sucking as well as blowing, and with not having a pressurised water supply I have concerns that the motor will die under the work load.

You'd be advised to check formally on their website, but I am fairly sure that the Aquatak range has a specific filter accessory to allow a suck style feed. I have never tried anything like that, mind!
I did think about describing it in a different way to avoid that assumption but that would require using my brain and that will not happen on a Monday morning !!Thanks again will double check.
