GENERAL PUMP PRO 20" Surface Cleaner - (GREASABLE)
This unit is light weight, and easy to carry around/ transport. I use quick release pins instead of the supplied nuts and bolts to secure the handle in the middle when working, and when I'm done I can quickly take the handle apart for easy transportation in the bed of my truck, or enclosed trailer. This unit cleans really well, and when using it I have experienced minimal operator fatigue unlike when I use my other surface cleaner, ( 24" Whisper Wash little Big Guy.) The only negatives if any at all would be that the spray bar looks a little fragile compared to the spray bars on the Whisper wash cleaners, so I am so not sure about the durability of this unit over the long haul. (In all fairness though, this unit is half the price of a Whisper wash unit.) Getting the right size spray tips to match your particular pressure washer will be of vital importance for proper operation and cleaning results. I would suggest getting tips that allow for at least two gallons per minute more than your pressure washer is rated for. ie - ( if your machine is rated at four gallons per minute output, then I would put two 25030 tips on the surface cleaner.) This will allow for a maximum of 3 gallons of water flow out of each spray tip at a 25 degree angle which is optimal for cleaning flat surfaces. Using the larger spray tips will lower the PSI slightly, but will maximize water flow coming out of your surface cleaner which is much more important when cleaning concrete than PSI. Also, if you use too small a spray tip, your surface cleaner will NOT stay on the ground because the surface cleaner is too lite weight to handle high PSI. I personally have an 8 gallon per minute machine @ 3500 PSI, and I use two 25055 tips on the cleaner which allows for a maximum of 5.5 gallons per minute out of each tip. This set up gives me maximum water flow, and lowers my PSI down to around 2900 - 3000 PSI which is optimal for cleaning concrete surfaces. This set up has worked beautifully for me so far, and the cleaning results have been outstanding, with minimal operator fatigue. A note about cleaning concrete. Most people do not realize that you only need around 2600 to 3000 PSI to properly clean concrete surfaces. Anything over that and you risk permanently damaging the concrete by removing the top layer of the concrete referred to as the "cream." Also, never attempt to clean concrete surfaces with high pressure that are less than a year old, and preferable two years old. The concrete has not had enough time to properly cure before this time and using high pressure can cause permanent damage to the surface. One final note about operating this surface cleaner, is do not try to force the movement of the cleaner when cleaning. Just hang on loosely, and allow the cleaner to hover glide above the surface at its own pace and you will find the operation effortless, and you will expend very little energy operating it. Overall, I think that this is a great unit for the price, and gives you a lot of bang for the buck. General Pump is a highly reputable company that is known in the industry for making high quality products across the board, and replacement parts for this cleaner, if needed, are readily available and reasonably priced. I only take off one star because the handle is fixed making transport difficult if you have less that 6.5 ft. of space in your truck or trailer. As I described above, I found a work around for this with the quick connect pins. Sill a little bit of a pain to break down the handle, but it works. If the handle was designed to be foldable for easy transport, and the spray bar a little more beefy, then I would definitely give this machine 5 stars for the price. Good luck, I hope this helps.
