Pressure Washer
Pressure washers can be divided into four basic
categories: light-duty electric; residential gas
powered; heavy-duty gas powered; and
professional gas powered. Cleaning power (CP) is
calculated by multiplying pounds per square inch
(PSI) of water pressure by gallons per minute (GPM)
of water flow.
