FAQ
What model of the 500 series is best for me?
This depends on your industry and usage of the 500 series unit. Each unit in this series can do almost any job, but if you want a job done in a certain way or at a certain speed, it’s best to talk to a licensed Hotsy dealer to find the perfect machine for your needs.
Where do I purchase a Hotsy 500 series machine?
A Hotsy 500 machine can be purchased from any licensed Hotsy dealer. There are over 175 locations in the United States alone. You can check here to find a location near you.
What’s the difference between a commercial pressure washer and a residential one?
There are many differences between these two types of pressure washers. To start, commercial pressure washers are built to give off higher pressures than your standard residential power washers. Commercial power washers can have PSIs for up to 8000. In addition, industrial power washers are built for long-term performance. Built simply, industrial power washers are meant to last hundreds of hours without more than basic maintenance. They are often steel-cased so they are resistant to heat and corrosion. Overall, commercial power washers last longer than residential ones – even if you take great care of your residential unit. Lastly, commercial units often offer more versatility. For example, because of the way they heat, water in a commercial unit can come to temperature in as little as 20 seconds. With most residential machines, not only does this take longer, but the water becomes cold before it reaches the length of a longer hose. If you’re looking to heat water for longer hoses, then a commercial hose is the only way to go.
When would I need a series 500 Hotsy pressure washer?
Series 500 pressure washers are good for almost any industry that needs a pressure washer. Whether you’re starting your own power washer business and need a dependable machine, or you run a successful agricultural or automotive company, a good power washer is essential – and the 500 series power washers are just that.
What are the pros and cons of buying a Hotsy pressure washer?
It’s hard to distinguish “pros and cons” of buying a pressure washer without knowing more details, such as the industry and use of the machine. It’s best to talk to a certified Hotsy dealer to learn more about the machines themselves and to see if they might work for you – and, if so, which would suit you best.
Are hot water pressure washers worth it?
Many jobs, such as loosening up grime and dirt on a house or on concrete, can be done using cold water. The pressure and proper operation of a cold water pressure washer can take care of many jobs. However, hot water does have its uses. For one, heat can and will loosen grime more quickly, and it will be able to clear certain types of gunk – like oil – much more efficiently than cold water pressure washers. In addition, you have the added bonus of the sanitizing feature of hot water – things will be cleaner once you’re done with a hot water heater.
Can I use detergent in the Hotsy 500 series machines?
Yes, all 500 series machines are capable of adding detergent.
Which is better, the Hotsy 555HE or the Hotsy 555SS?
Both of these machines are excellent, sound beginner options in the Hotsy line. Talk to a certified Hotsy dealer to see which may be the best option for you.
