joining 2 pw

[najman]

hello everybody
first i want to wish every one a merry Christmas and a happy new year
i was wondering if someone tried to hook up 2 pressure washer together to double the psi and gpm i know it sound crazy but before buying a more powerful one i would like to test it if i need that much power i have 2 1600 psi 1.6 gpm
thx

Why? 1600 PSI can rip open skin (I've seen it happen on a medical call when a guy pulled the trigger over his left foot while pressure washing his deck... not a pretty site, reconstructive surgery needed!)

no possible..the output would always be 1600psi.

I'll preface this by saying you should probably listen to DaGonz. Well, if you are going to use two together, you can do series or parallel. Series being one after the other...which theoretically would double your pressure...that probably won't work because the suction side of the pump which is set up for garden hose pressure probably won't take 1600 psi.

Putting the two in parallel, to double your volume, would be a little tricky, not sure how you would turn the two on together, etc.
