I have access (aka - free) to a really nice triplex pressure washer pump (ceramic plungers, etc). It's belt-drive, so I need to supply a motor, hose, wand, etc.
I have a gas pressure washer, already, but it's such a pain to use (haul it out, gas it up, find a hose, hook the hose up, .....). I'm thinking it would be very nice to have an electric-driven power washer, mounted somewhere permanent, and plumbed into my residential hot water. This is just for my personal use on my small suburban home - mostly for washing off the cars and deck, etc.
At this point, I was planning to find a used 5-7.5HP 240v motor, some belts and pulleys, buy a nice high-pressure hose-on-a-reel, a nice wand, and assemble it all. Curious if anyone has done this or has any feedback about the idea.
