What's the best Pressure Washer Hose?

What's the best pressure washer hose?

The best pressure washer hose for you depends on the type of application. When it comes to buying a pressure washing hose, it depends on what you'll be pressure washing, what type of pressure washer you have, and how much you want to spend.

What are you pressure washing?

The most common pressure washing applications include:

1. Driveway, sidewalks, patios: you'll want to use something with at least 2000 PSI but no more than 4000 PSI. These ranges are important for each type because you don't want to damage the surface.
2. Vehicles: Lower PSI here needed approximately 800-1500 max. You'll want to apply with a soap attachment and then wash with the widest fan attachment you have.
3. Parking Garages/ Parking Lots: You'll want to use a surface cleaner and you'll want a machine with 2500-4000 PSI. You might also want to use heat.
4. Brick Veneer- Lighter psi needed. Chemicals can help speed things up drastically.
5. Tile - Light PSI. 1000-2000 PSI and add chem.
6. Stone - Medium PSI around 2000-3000 PSI needed.

and much much more!

What type of pressure washer do you have?

1. Residential applications: The best hose for residential applications depends on the type of machine you have. Most residential pressure washers sold at the store can be operated with the store bought hose and that is perfectly fine to use. For instance, if you bought a dewalt pressure washing hose and they have the dewalt pressure washing hose on the shelf that matches the PSI Rating, that is perfectly fine to use.

2. Commercial Applications: For most commercial applications you'll want to use something durable. You'll want a hose that does burst often and has a durable shell to withstand corners, uneven areas, pressure spikes, and more. The best hose I've found for these situations are:

1. https://www.rmxind.com/hose/blushield-pressure-washer-hose/ $200-400
2. Fierce Jet: Single Braided, Non- Marking Gray Hose $150-300
3. Fierce Jet: Double Braided Non- Marking Gray Hose (Most durable) $250-500

3. Industrial Applications: Any hose that is double braided and has burst pressures of over 6000 PSI.

1. Dragon Flex or Fierce Jet Double braided is my favorite for this.

4. Heat Applications

1. Fierce Jet: Double Braided Non- Marking Gray Hose (has a heat rating of 311 degrees). Most heated applications are from 200-250 degrees farenheit.
