Just by looking at the construction and design, you’ll already be assured that they are powerful and durable, providing you with their benefits for a long period of time. This makes them worth the investment.
PSI
A good pressure washer has a PSI range of between 1300 and 2300. This range should be enough to tackle dirt, stains, grime, or oil. How much more if the PSI range is greater? The 1200 series Hotsy can give you a PSI ranging from 3000 to 4000. With this PSI, you can clean asphalt driveways, industrial equipment, vehicles, graffiti and paint stripping, boats, and fences. Almost any household cleaning project!
GPM
A good flow rate range for a pressure washer is between 2.0-2.5 gallons per minute. The 1200 series has a GPM range of 4.5 to 6 gallons per minute. The more water the pressure washer gives, the faster it will be to finish the cleaning job. With a range of 4.5-6 GPM, you’ll be able to tackle tough dirt in just 4 minutes or less.

Engine
The rugged overall design of its engines is what makes the 1200 Series stand out. This pressure washer comes with a 2000W generator. The gasoline engine has an electric start, is gas-powered, and oil-fired. Any model from the 1200 series is equipped with a small engine (Vanguard or Honda) that has 16 to 24 HP and requires a 12V DC Ignition System.

FAQs
1. When should you use a hot water pressure washer?
Oil, grease, and grime cannot be tackled with a cold water pressure washer. For greasy or oily surfaces, you should use a pressure washer that releases hot water in order to melt this grease away from any automotive parts or engines. The Hotsy 1200 series Hot Water Pressure Washer can clean oily and greasy surfaces in just minutes.
2. Can you use the 1200 Series Hotsy anywhere?
Definitely, yes! The 1200 Series is gas-powered. This makes it portable, so you can take it anywhere that needs cleaning. You should install it on your trailer for easy transport because a model can weigh up to 745 pounds.
3. Which is better, an electric or gas pressure washer?
Gas-powered pressure washers are more effective than electric pressure washers. They can produce much higher PSI to accomplish tough jobs. They are also easy to maintain and are more durable, making them last for years or more. So, if you’re looking for the best pressure washer for your pressure washing business, you should definitely go with a gas pressure washer like the Hotsy 1200 series.
