Pressure Washers By GPM

What matters more for pressure washers: PSI or GPM?

When it comes to choosing a pressure washer, there are two primary numbers used to compare different machines: PSI and GPM. PSI stands for pounds per square inch, and refers to the amount of pressure outputted by a pressure washer. Higher PSI-rated power washers are used for stripping more difficult to remove coatings, such as painted graffiti and oil. GPM stands for gallons per minute, and refers to the amount of water that is moved through a power washer’s nozzle every minute. Higher GPM power washers produce more output to clean surfaces faster. For example, a 4.0 GPM pressure washer will clean a surface twice as fast as a 2.0 GPM pressure washer. Which metric matters most depends on your specific concerns. Higher PSI pressure washers are better for difficult jobs requiring high stripping power, and higher GPM pressure washers are better when you want to get a job done more quickly.

How to choose a pressure washer by GPM

Typical pressure washers have GPM ratings between 1.5 and 10. Choosing the right GPM for your pressure washer depends on your use case. For most lighter tasks, a GPM of 1.5 to 2.5 is usually sufficient. Larger or commercial jobs may require higher a GPM rating, especially when cleaning time is limited. These types of jobs may require a GPM of 3-7, or possibly up to 10 for heavy-duty jobs like large-scale commercial cleaning.
