Product QuestionsAnswered by Jim, the Pressure Washer Expert
Hi Mike, I have a Troy-Bilt power washer with 2550 psi @ 2.3 gpm and would like to know which BE Surface Cleaner would be best for me? I would like to have a 14 to 20 incher if possible. Or should I just spring for a more powerful washer?
Thanks for your help,
Fred

Answer
When choosing a surface cleaner you need to match both the water pressure (PSI) and the water volume (GPM). The 14" BE unit needs at least 1500 PSI to work, so you are fine there, and at 2.3 GPM you just squeak past the minimum 2 GPM needed.
The other BE units need 3.5 GPM and up to function properly.
I have a fairly new cedar deck that I have cleaned with a brush about 3 times and then stained with Penofin stain.
I have not used my 3000 psi power washer because the deckm guy said I would damage the wood.
Can I use B Whirl away safely on my deck?
Thanks, Mike

Answer
You will still have to be careful not to damage the deck. This unit is great for any flat surface application. Also, it is 2 nozzles compared too 1, so the PSI will drop slightly. It is still recommended to test a small area to check for damage before tackling the job.
