Detergent to Water ratio |
| Your Powerwasher draws detergent at a 10:1 |
|
| ratio. Most pressure washer detergents are gene- |
|
| rally concentrated within that range so minimal |
|
| adjustment is required. If you feel like you are |
|
| using more detergent than is required for the ap- |
|
| plication you can dilute it with regular tap water. |
Detergent - What to use |
| We recommend that you use a cleaner which is |
|
| specifically designed for power washers. There |
|
| are different kinds available depending on the |
|
| application. Check with your local Home Depot |
|
| store for the product which is best suited for |
|
| your needs. |
|
| Never use Bleach, Ammonia or Hot |
|
| water in the unit. |
