Q: BRIAN, Hi I will start my pressure washer bussines pretty soon, Can You recommend me what equipment is good for professional beginners since I just have less than 1700 dollars.
Q: Does the Hammerhead surface cleaner include the 3/8" socket high pressure quick connector required to connect it with my pressure washer hose?
If not, are the threads on the surface cleaner male or female? by Craig from Washington on July 10, 2016
A: General Pump tells us this comes with a 3/8" female quick connect socket- we show the picture in one of the orange boxes across the top of the Features section. by Brian, Product Expert
Q: Afternoon Mike, Quick question? My Hammerhead 20' doesn't have a Zerk to add grease? Use it, love it, but concerned it's going to burn-up. Checked the top and bottom, no attachment? Bought it from you'll about 2 months ago. Did I get an old one or is there another way to lubricate it? Thanks by JC Charles from Florida on June 28, 2016
A: Can you forward your model number or order number? We offer two one with a zerk and one without which does not offer a grease option. by Brian, Product Expert
Q: I have purchased this model: ALH3228-S from you a few weeks ago. What would be the best surface cleaner for my machine? Alot of the reviews for the 16" cleaner say that a 3200 psi has a hard time running a surface cleaner rated from 3100-4000. by Wes from Texas on June 27, 2016
A: The Simpson 15" Surface Cleaner rated to 3400 PSI was designed to work with your pressure washer; since your pressure is near the top of the rating you would get good performance from it.
Your pressure washer at 2.8 GPM doesn't deliver enough water volume to drive either of the 16" surface cleaners we sell. The Specs tabs show the BE unit needs at least 3.5 GPM to operate properly, and the Eagle unit needs 4 GPM minimum. by Brian, Product Expert
Q: What type of grease do I use for the zerk fitting? by Margaret Mulberry from Illinois on April 26, 2016
A: Grease the swivel with one or two grease gun pumps every 200 hours (or once about every 30 days of use). Use No. 2 general purpose waterproof lithium grease. For hotter water applications, use a quality high temperature grease. by Brian, Product Expert
Q: What's the minimum PSI to operate this unit? by Tom from Pennsylvania on January 07, 2016
A: The minimum PSI is 2000 but the most important thing is the GPM rating. The GPM needs to be AT LEAST 3.0 or the arm bar of the surface cleaner will not spin properly and cause streaking. by Brian, Product Expert
Q: I have a small space I am trying to fit this under. What is the minimum clearance height I can use this with to get under and in my tight space? by Margaret Mulberry from Illinois on September 16, 2015
The Hammerhead Surface Cleaner is considered prosumer-grade. You can either consider it an extremely expensive consumer-grade surface cleaner. Or, it's a very inexpensive professional-grade unit.
That choice is up to you.
We love it because it's durable. The Hammerhead features a composite housing - not some cheap plastic cover. Plus, it includes a hearty handle. Simply snap your high pressure hose into the trigger gun on the handle.

The Hammerhead actually hovers over the surface. You need at least a prosumer-grade pressure washer for it to operate properly. It's not designed for the little power washer found at your neighborhood discount store.

Awesome Surface Cleaner!
I bought one of these with a kit in 2010. Last week mine fell off the trailer and was lost- by the time I turned around it was gone, so I went to my pressure washing supply house and bought a Whisper Wash that was twice as expensive as the Hammerhead.
When I hooked it up to use on a pool deck I stopped after about 3 minutes and called the supply house to say that the new, over-priced unit was not 1/2 as good as my 18-inch Hammerhead. So I ordered another awesome Hammerhead from Pressure Washers Direct that day and took the Whisper Wash back to the supply house!
The moral of my story is that the Hammerhead is the best surface cleaner to buy!! Don't be fooled by the high priced Whisper Wash!! I do believe that the ones that say the Whisper Wash is top dog, never used a Hammerhead!!
Thanks for a great product!!

Good Product
When I received the package, there was some assembly required. Components for assembly were missing, but a call to Brian and these issues were resolved.
As far as using the product (and never having used anything like this before), two things surprised me:
1) You need the full 4.0 GPM from your pressure washer.
2) As you are moving the cleaner back and forth across the surface, there is a propensity for the cleaner to lift or tilt on one side or the other, usually on my strong side. Once you do it for a while, you learn not to muscle it, but steer it with more of a torque steer.
Overall, it does take a bit of practice to get it to do its best job (go slow, make sure you cover all of the surface), and it will save you a lot of time.

Great Product, Used Several Hours Quickly!!!
We have large areas that need pressure washing a few times each year since our home, driveway, patios and walkways are all in wooded areas. We have a 3800 PSI pressure washer. We tried several of the attachable rotor heads and they broke within a few minutes to a few hours.
After much frustration and disappointment, we purchased the "General Pump Hammerhead Surface Cleaner" and have already used it 6-8 hours during my initial use. I am extremely pleased with the performance and the ease of use.
I completed the entire job in hours which I had previously spread over several days.

Works Like A Charm!
I have a extremely long driveway. In the past I rented a surface cleaner from Home Depot but had trouble with their rental. I bought the Hammerhead Semi-Pro 20".
Although I have only used it once since purchasing it in September 2016, I was very pleased with the performance. It worked like a charm!

Best Money I Ever Spent !!
Well cleaning my driveway for the past several years at 3 to 4 inches every stroke. It was just depressing when it came time to do it. It took all day to do my driveway and sidewalks.
With this new unit it takes me less than 2 hours- best money I ever spent !!!

Massive Time Saver
I'm using a Honda 5.5hp, 3gpm small commercial pressure washer to drive this. It did a fantastic job and it is a tremendous time saver. I cleaned just under 1000 sq.ft in about 75 minutes.
The quality seems to be good too. The unit come with spare tips, however I'm not sure if they're rated at the same flow as the ones that were installed at the factory.
Pros:Easy To Use, Fast, Servicable
Cons:Heavy, This unit is a bit heavy to maneuver around, The instructions could have clearer pictures

Greg,
I checked the Owner's Manual PDF that we have under the Specs tab, and I'm sorry, I didn't see any details about the extra nozzles.
The spray tips should have the orifice size marked on the side or face of the nozzle. You may want to give the folks at General Pump a call at (888) 474-5487 to see if they're the same, or have a different orifice (opening) size if they're not marked.
We have a large patio along with basketball court at our church. Prior to my first Hammerhead 20" Scrubber it took five people and two pressure washers using a standard gun about ten hours to complete the job. The quality of our work
was fair at the best, the streaks left on the surface left a lot to be desired.
I purchased a 20" Hammerhead and the job with three people took only four hours to do and no streaks to be found.
Pros:Easy To Use, Fast, Price, Reliable

"Easy company to deal with. Never had a issue, always performed as expected."
Washer came within 5 days, assembly was straight forward. Have used it about 10 hrs, it works like expected. Appears to be smoother than an older one that I have used.
Pros:Easy To Use, I'd Buy It Again, High Quality, Price
