    Posted: 21/June/2010 at 9:18pm

Does anyone know how to take an electric pressure washer (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Campbell-Hausfeld-Pressure-Washer-PW1810/11064932?wmlspartner=GPA&sourceid=44444444440331401683 ) but to change out the fittings to fit a carpet cleaning psi hose?? I have a 2400 watt heater I would like to use in conjunction with this to clean tile and grout.

 
Thanks for your help!

No, I have a truckmount portable and I plan on using http://www.jondon.com/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=22173 but my truckmount portable only goes to 500 psi. Not quite enough fron T & G.
 
So I was looking to use a pressure washer for me pressure in conjunction with my current heating system. Then run my vac from the T & G tool back to my machine, while getting my psi from a different source.

If you go to a place that makes pressure hoses they
can make the fitting for you. I did and it coast about
$15.00.

Another helpful hint would be to just ask a local pressure washing company to see what their thoughts are. I am sure they would be glad to help you out with your project. Otherwise I would do the hose idea for the pressure washer.

It is an electric truckmount that can go portable. I use a vortex which is a mytee breeze. It stays in the van and I run about 175 feet of hose with minimal loss of suction. To power it I use a generator as it will blow breakers. Goes up to 800 psi. I also have a truckmount but prefer this for tile and grout cleaning. So much easier to fix than my TM when something breaks. I have a little giant for heat.
