The right pressure washer can speed up any surface cleaning job, slicing through dirt, grime, and grease with ease. In most cases, a standard cold-water machine provides all the power you need, but some projects call for the added boost of hot-water washing. Alkota®, one of the industry’s leading brands, builds some of the best hot- and cold-water pressure washers on the market, with options available for any job. Consider these factors when buying or renting a pressure washer.

Hot-Water vs. Cold-Water Pressure Washers

Cold Water

The targeted jet of a pressure washer is usually powerful enough to get through mud, sand, and dirt, whether you’re sprucing up a deck or cleaning your car. Knocking peeling paint off the side of the house can also be done with cold water, making your home renovation project faster and easier.

Hot Water

While cold water is normally up to the task, some applications are better with heat. For instance, if you’re tackling grease in a restaurant kitchen or oil spots in the driveway, a pressure washer using hot water is usually best. Farmers and ranchers also rely on these machines to get manure off of their equipment and out of animal stalls.

Hot-water pressure washers use a complex system to heat the water as it’s being used, so you don’t have to worry about an external heat source. Not only does this allow for an unlimited supply, but it also heats the water to a higher temperature than most indoor water heaters. As one of the industry’s best innovators, Alkota produces revolutionary designs that minimize maintenance without sacrificing performance.
