Pressure washer help

[RacerScott]

Hi guys, I am in need of help choosing a pressure washer. I plan on using a 75-100 gallon tank on trailer.

My main question involves routing the unloader back to the tank. If I do this, will it allow me to have the pressure washer running without using the water for a longer period than 1-2 minutes? Also only certain pumps will allow this right??

The reason I ask is because I like to rinse a car multiple times while I`m washing to prevent soapy water from drying. I like to rinse the hood right after washing it for example. I would be a pain to start up a gas pressure washer 5-6 times a wash. Most likely I will have a hose reel on the back of the trailer so the power washer will be a distance from the car I`m working on.

I am also considering a electric setup running off a Honda 3000i since I already have one plus it will be on the trailer anyway. I wonder of big of a motor that would run. 2hp, 20 amp?

Also, what allows you to use a regular soft hose on a reel compared to hard pressure washer type hoses.

Thanks

I refuse to use a gas power washer for this very reason. Electric is the way to go imo. Much less noise, easier to move around, never run out of gas, and you can get a decent one pretty cheap. Look into the AR Blue models. The one I have is 1900 psi and does just fine for mobile work.

If you go electric go Karanzle. I just is simply the best I have used. I also had a Karcher Brass pump model I liked but the Kranzle is just quieter and smaller. I also like the pressure chord reel so much better.

Wow did I score!!!

Picked up a kranzle 399 quadro at a discounted price brand new, tested it out yesterday. Very nice machine. I thought it would be louder but it is very quiet. Its the nicest electric pressure washer I have ever seen and cant wait to use it more this spring!!
