Yes and no.

Yes, if it has a pressure tank, then water from it will be pressurized... somewhat. If 40 PSI (typical pressure of residential booster pumps) is good enough for you.

No, because, it's not purpose-built for pressure washing. For one, it still needs a nozzle to go with it, to which the pressure is likely not enough, and these pumps will come out more expensive.

On the other hand, a proper pressure washer already includes everything you need. Suffice to say, it's built for the sole purpose of pressure washing. It can produce about 1,000 PSI of pressure, more portable, and cheaper.

It is very unsafe as the pressure is unregulated. The hose and attachments could explode in your face/ cause injury.

That is the reason why pressure pumps have regulators that automatically cut-off upon reaching the required pressure.

puede kung puede.
i suppose that's because you already have the the pump.
do you have the other parts, like the tubings?
then you'll have to assemble it pa.
hassle, unless you enjoy DIY.

just perusing olx, there are several for-sale ones, ready-to-use.

our house is supplied by a pressure tank. it is easy for us to connect the garden hose, and do some pressure-washing if we want to. the pressure is not strong (40-60 psi), "but it suffices".

Pupwede naman. Ganun gamit ko. Yung hose ko is connected to a faucet sa pressure tank. So i get pressurized water sa hose.

pwede provided kaya ng nozzle mo given pressure ng water pump mo. baka kaya nga ng hose but maghiwa-hiwalay nozzle mo talsikan ka pa.

Pwede, ganyan lang gamit ko before.

1. The pressure tank needs to be by-passed. Ibig sabihin yung papunta sa pressure tank dapat may valve na sarado tapos yung water papunta sa hose e meron ka tee before the valve.
2. Pwede yan continuous, mababa lang pressure nyan. I used a 1/2 hp pump before the pressure was only maximum 150 psi.
3. Kaya ng garden hose at garden nozzle ang 150 psi. Ang problema lang yung hose connections mo. Paminsan-minsan itatapon nya yung nozzle pag di mahigpit yung hose.clamp. So yun lang talaga ang problem nyan pag maluwag ang clamps.

PERO, since ang price ng 1/3 hp pump ay P3500, add mo pa price ng good quality garden hose and nozzle plus very good quality hose clamps, E MAS MURA PA BUMILI KA NA LANG NG PRESSURE WASHER P4k lang.

I saw some seller sa shopee... around php5,000
Bosch
Self priming

1300 W

This is good since pwede na hindi direct sa water faucet ang source, sa water bucket or tank pwede na...

Anybody tried ? Or ano alternative nyo? Plan to buy on December...
