Electrical Considerations

Electric Wall Mount Pressure Washer

You'll need to choose a wall mount pressure washer that's compatible with the existing electricity where it will be installed. Some of these units require a three-phase electrical supply, which is usually reserved for commercial buildings.

If your building doesn't have three-phase, the unit may not be compatible. Also, most wall mount pressure washers don't have standard plugs like most electric pressure washers. Instead, you wire the power washer directly into the existing power system. Most of these units require a 220-volt circuit or more, so you'll want to make sure you have this capability.
