4. Check for water supply Gallon Per Minute: Every pressure cleaning machine has a specific requirement of Gallon Per Minute (GPM) of water supply. You can check the GPM rate of your water by using a 5-gallon bucket and a timer. If adequate GPM rate is not achieved it may result in damaging your pump. Never let you pump be dry in any condition. • Check for water quality: Water you are using for pressure cleaning should not contain particles larger than 80 microns. The power washing machine has filters installed but they are not good for the long run. Therefore is necessary to check for sand and scale particles in the water used for pressure cleaning. www.ycpainting.com
