Q: What is the longest extension I can use with my Craftsman 6.0 hp, 2.4 GPM, 2400 PSI presure asher? by Patrick McGuinness from Florida on June 03, 2011
A: I would not go any longer than a 12', but even this would have a problem because you won't get the flow with your pressure washer due to the 1/4" hoses. What may be a better option for you would be a high pressure soap shooter.
Thanks,

Q: I have pacific Hydrostar 6.5 hp gas 2500 psi, 3 gpm washer. I'm assuming I should stay with the 12' model and it would be compatible - anything longer would have problems? by Chris from Massachusetts on May 06, 2011
A: This would be fine with your pressure washer. If you wanted you could go with an 18' model as well. You would not lose enough pressure to make a difference.

Q: I have a troy 675 gasoline pressure washer (2550psi) and would like to get a telescoping extension wand about 12-14 feet for cleaning the screen enclosure in my pool area. Your model DLTG12 looks as though it might be the answer but not sure it is compatible, or it the connections are correct and/or if other attachments are necessary. Let me know if this would work or if you have a better idea by Paul from Florida on April 03, 2011
A: Yes this telescoping wand would work perfect with your pressure washer. This wand connects directly up to your high pressure hose and has its own spray gun. Included is both a threaded and quick connect adapter for easy connection to your existing high pressure hose. by Bill, Product Expert

A: No this telescoping wand would not work with your pressure washer. The General Pump telescoping wands are designed for gas presssure washers with a minimum of 2500 psi up to 4000 psi.
Unfortunately we do not carry any type of extension wands for your Campbell Hausfeld electric pressure washer. by Bill, Product Expert

How to Unclog Your Plugged Gutters
Autumn. A beautiful time of the year to watch the leaves fall… into your gutters.
Leaf blowers are great at clearing dry, crisp leaves on the ground. They just don’t work so well on gutters.
Why? It takes a couple weeks for all of the leaves to fall. And, if you're like me, it takes a few more weeks to actually get off the couch and clean your gutters.
While you're watching football, it will rain. In fact, it will probably rain a few times. It takes a little drizzle to compact the leaves into a papier mache-like mess.
Once leaves get wet, they take forever to dry. Your leaf blower can huff and puff like the Big Bad Wolf, but they won't budge.
You can try flushing them out with your garden hose spray gun, but it'll just make the big blob of mush even wetter.
You need some serious pressure from a power washer to force the leaves out. Any pressure washer will suffice as long as you’re careful.
Pressure washers will kick back like a shot gun. Using one on a roof or ladder is flirting with an ambulance ride to the emergency room. Your feet should be planted firmly on the ground.
The secret to safely power washing your gutters is getting two important accessories:
1. Telescoping Wand
A must-have tool if your house is two stories or taller. You simply connect your high pressure hose to the telescoping wand. You can extend the fiberglass or aluminum material by 12-,18- or 24-feet. The 12-foot fiberglass wand is ideal for residential use.
2. Gutter Cleaning Wand
Simply conect this u-shaped wand to the end of your telescoping wand. Stick it inside your gutters at an angle and go wild. The high pressure spray will blast away the leaves in seconds. Plus, the waste water will help clear the downspouts.
Here’s the only downside. You’re going to get dirty and wet. Rain falls down. So does pressure washer spray.
Before you start, make sure that you’re wearing protective eyewear and a clean Green Bay Packers hat (Go Bears!).

My pressure washer was easy to start. In fact, it started on the second pull of the cord. It was easy to use and very efficient at cleaning the concrete sidewalk.
Also, the telescoping wand and gutter cleaner work well together and they saved me from going up and down the ladder to clean the gutters.
At least 2 neighbors are now interested in buying pressure washers. I recommended Karcher as a brand I trust.

How to Power Wash a Second Story Home
Cleaning the siding on the second story of your house used to be a difficult task. But pressure washers have made cleaning high up places easier than ever...without the use of scaffolding or ladders.
If some upper level spots are a little stubborn, consider getting a telescoping wand. These fiberglass or aluminum extension poles basically extend your spray gun from 12 to 24 feet.
Without the telescoping wand, the pressure diminishes as it climbs. The telescoping wand maintains the pressure much longer, resulting in a stronger, more concentrated spray.
