Pressure washers are devices that are used for cleaning. Pressure washers or power washers produce spray of water at very high pressures, which is sometimes required in order to get rid of grime, dust, grease and heavy stains. Pressure washers are classified into different kinds- electric, hydraulic, gasoline-based and diesel-based. They are also classified as hot or cold pressure washers. Pressure washers' efficiency depends upon the PSI (pounds per square inch), which indicates water pressure, and GPM (gallons per minute), which indicates the flow of the water. Higher PSI and GPM means greater power and more pressure.

There are several parts in a pressure washer. The main part is an electric or gasoline-powered engine attached to a pump. This pump compresses the water and builds up pressure. The hose has a trigger that has the option of spraying the water either in short bursts or as a continuous spray. The power of the washer depends on the strength of the pump. The nozzle or the tip is a very important component. This tip can be adjusted at different angels for adjusting the pressure of the water. The smallest angle generates the highest pressure. Larger angles up to 40 degrees are for generating sprays covering larger surface area. Pressure washers also contain a detergent injector that helps to steadily mix the detergent with the water. Other main parts in a pressure washer are the hose, hose reels, the unloader, and valves, heating and cooling components and other plumbing and electrical fittings.

Pressure washer parts are offered with reasonable warranties. They are generally available at most hardware stores. The Internet is also a good source for shopping for pressure washer parts since there is good variety and also lot of information about the product. There are several websites over the Internet that provide information about pressure washer parts.
