@calif94577 Жыл бұрын

Should know that on the green works (specifically the 2300 one) each nozzle that comes with it has a different orifice size. The smaller the angle the smaller the hole. So if you grabbed a 40 degree one the pressure is way lower due to the larger orifice size. If you retry with the most narrow angle one (or your own smaller orifice nozzle tip) you should get much closer to the 2300 advertised psi.

@ObsessedGarage Жыл бұрын

I don't recall on that specific pressure washer, but almost all of them require the same orifice size no matter what the spray pattern chosen. I would wager the 2300 is not different.

@calif94577 Жыл бұрын

@@ObsessedGarage reason I have come to this conclusion is on another test video each nozzle had subsequently lower PSI the wider the angle with higher GPM. And since Angle shouldn’t have any affect on this my conclusion is that each nozzle is a different orifice size I guess to match the application? Not sure.

I recently received the 2300 Pro. Does anyone know which fitting would be needed to change the back of the extension wand from a threaded end to a 1/4” quick connect to allow it to work as an extension for a short gun? Also, I tried using this with my 35’ hose connected to the one it comes with and got some surging and overall weird activity. I took the 25’ off and only used my 35’ and still had some issues. Is this normal? I thought at the very least the 35’ hose should work with no issues.

@@chillwill2673 I don’t think there is one really. Maybe an AR but you need at least a 20amp circuit for the better models. Gas is best for heavier duty jobs. Just that simple. Optimal numbers for auto detailing is around 1000psi and 2gpm. That’s more what this channels about.

Not always practical as I’m sure you couldn’t tell the difference between a car washed by a greenworks vs Kranzle.

So as a mobile detailer, I find that the second to last one you tested in this video is best for me. I take the entire metal frame off, the soap container, and just have a small very durable unit. I fit it, as well as all my other detailing equipment, in a Chevy SS sedan. I get about 1-1.5 years out of each unit, about 350 cars a year. They are workhorses, and allow me to keep the use off of better quality machines

Just a suggestion no clue if it would work, but when testing the pressure washers that need a ramp up. Would it not be possible to start the timer and let the machine ramp up then stop it say after 5 seconds. Weigh the bucket to find how much water was produced, so when your doing the final test to check the overall flow you deduct the amount that was collected during the ramp up from the total that was collected? Might have to run the stopwatch for a min and 5 seconds during the overall flow test. Again no clue if it would work just a suggestion.

@aidantvhead 2 жыл бұрын

From watching reviews on different channels, it appears manufacturers get there ratings from there 15° tips. (probably with a very small orifice) For example the 2300 greenworks hits it's 2300psi at 1.2gpm on the 15° tip and the 25° and 40° both drop the pressure significantly to increase GPM for different applications. IMO this is very beneficial that each tip has a different orifice size because most people buying a cheap pressure washer don't have a bunch of different tips already. I'm surprised he has never noticed this after testing so many pumps.

@ObsessedGarage 2 жыл бұрын

That is incorrect. They are publishing specs of 2300 psi at something like .5 GPM flow which is nonsense. The degree spray pattern doesn't effect measurable pump pressure output. It only affects spot pressure.

@@ObsessedGarage “when the orifice size remains fixed” but the orifice size isn’t fixed on the Greenworks line, atleast in the higher end models. Every tip is a different orifice size. Even on the first line of the product description on Lowe’s for the gpw2301 it says “gpm ranges from 1.2 to 2.3 gpm with included nozzles” proving different sized orifices.
