Vehicle washing — 130–180 bar pressure at 10–14 l/min flow rate suits most car and light-commercial applications. Higher pressure damages paintwork; the limit on a pressure washer for paintwork is around 180 bar with a wide-fan nozzle, 130 bar with a narrower nozzle. Agricultural and plant cleaning — 200–250 bar at 14–18 l/min handles caked mud, manure, and heavy contamination. Industrial degreasing and fleet workshop use — typically 200+ bar with hot water for oil and grease applications. Always match nozzle to application: wide-fan for paintwork, narrower for heavy soiling.
Petrol — the trade standard for on-site, mobile, and agricultural use where mains power isn't available. Output up to ~250 bar at 18 l/min is achievable with mid-range petrol engines (8-13 hp). Diesel — heavier-duty long-shift commercial and industrial use; longer engine life under sustained load, lower fuel cost per hour at high output. Electric — mains-powered, suitable for fixed workshop installation, vehicle valeting bays, and indoor use where engine exhaust is unacceptable. Output limited by available electrical supply but suitable for most automotive and light commercial applications.
Replacement pumps, hoses, lances, trigger guns, nozzles, and pressure switches for the SIP Tempest range are supplied. Search by the model code on the washer's data plate (e.g. Tempest PPB480/160, Tempest CW3000, Tempest CW-D 300TX). WhatsApp 07754288583 with the model code and the part description if a part isn't appearing in search.
