Question: I am planing to buy few Aquatec pump 220 psi -230v. I am just wonder if I can connect a gauge and a pressure regulator in this pump so I can adjust the pressure to do upholstery and carpet when I need more water pressure. http://www.steam-brite.com/aquatec-t...ts-p-8839.html
thank you in advance. Kind regards, Emanue
Asnwer: It is possible to introduce a pressure regulator. Please visit
Naturally you will have to re-plumb the outbound side of the regulator to the fresh water tank.
Now the other issue that comes to mind when you ask me this question is why do you want to clean upholstery under 200 psi?
Most professionals including myself when I cleaned furniture professionally for 20 years cleaned upholstery at 450 psi. In order to clean cars, mattress and furniture at 450 psi you have to have a tool that is designed for such pressure. Example like 'internal spray' tools is one category of high pressure cleaning tool. Did you know that an internal spray hand tool at 450 psi will out clean and out dry an open spray tool at 100 psi? Yes, out dry and clean over 100% faster because it cleans faster as well as both directions. Right now you are only cleaning pulling the wand towards your body and will a 200 psi pump and internal spray you can clean both direction and clean faster, dryer, and remove more dirt.
