Title: I Need Help On Finding A Hose Sprayer With Tank
Post by: mrclose on October 04, 2017, 01:20:13 AM
I have been cleaning my home's siding and using 30 second outdoor cleaner (excellent stuff) and a water hose.

I was using my pressure washer until I started to 'dislodge/unhinge' some of the siding. >:(


One side of my home is on a steep incline and a ladder (for an old guy like myself) is just too dangerous.

That side is about thirty feet from ground to top and I need some type of sprayer to apply the cleaner.

I'm willing to chance a short extension ladder for extra reach but I am not willing to 'climb' 15 to 20 feet on the longer extension!

I can't find exactly what I need with the search hose end sprayer.

Yes, I do need one but .. I need one that will shoot a fair distance.
(10 to12 feet)

Everyone that I find have a wide spray pattern or a very short stream.

The one in the picture below is the 'kind' of attachment that I need but doesn't have the spray distance.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I use a Karcher 1600 psi pressure washer for stuff like you're talking about. It's beefy enough to reach where you want, but not so strong as to mess up siding.

I've had mine - looks a little like this one - for about 8 years now and it works just fine.

Are you able to turn down the pressure setting on your power washer?
