feeding pressure washer with hot water?
Seems like a good idea to me, feeding a standard cold water pressure washer with water at say 50/60degrees C, maybe from a tank set up for this
purpose. Got to be better for cleaning donor parts than using cold. Who would try washing dishes in cold water?
Anyone have any comments?

I have a hot water outside tap and mine is fine on water thats too hot for your hands.
No trubs with my jet washer after a couple of years and its much more effective for cleaning engine parts, infact practically anything !

It shouldn't be a problem with a pressure washer as it actually uses less water than an open hose - unless you've got a humungous washer
that is

Hi, just new to posting on here.
We have a steamboat, and use a hypro three ram presure washer pump as a boiler feed pump.
Its pumping water around the 80c mark, and has been quite happyly doing this for the last 12 years (1500hours?).
All be it around 200rpm rather than 2000.
You could also try feeding it with detergent. I dont know what washer you have and if it has a detergent pickup/dispenser on it.
- But when i presure wash stuff with ours i often use the detergent pick up to spray jydes fulid or fairy liquid all over the place.
- It will also pick up from a standing container (rather than a hose pipe) so you can actually draw anything through it potentially!
