====== High-pressure washer ======

The robot must be connected to an external high-pressure washer in order to wash.

===== What kind of high-pressure washer fits the EVO Cleaner best? =====

The robot is delivered with, and shall be used with, a [[:parts:nozzle_types|turbo-nozzle]], working with a flow of 16 litres/minute at a pressure of 180 to 220 bars. This flow is less then most operators use when they are washing today but the whole idea about using a robot is that time is not so important anymore. Best result with the robot is achieved when it’s allowed to clean the same space several times.

  * <font 12pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Soaking and washing is normally done with the robot.</font>
  * <font 12pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Water-consumption is less than 1 m3/hour.</font> \\ <font 14px/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>//*Depending on how demanding and efficient the programs are. //</font>

==== What kind of high-pressure washer? ====

<font 12pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>A high-pressure washer with too big pump will by-pass the extra water or in worst case constantly start and stop. The incoming water is never completely clean and this by-pass causes a big wear on pump and valves. Too small pump and you will not get the pressure required.</font>

<font 12pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Required specifications for the high-pressure washer:</font>

  * <font 12pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Water pressure: 180 – 220 bar</font>
  * <font 12pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Flow about 16-18 litres/min (1000 L/hour), higher flow is only a cost</font>
  * <font 12pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>High quality, it’s going to work long hours</font>
  * <font 12pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Automatic start/stop function</font>
  * <font 12pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>Controlled with pressure switch. (there are also pumps controlled by a flow-switch. That, however, sometimes gives problems starting the pump since it’s depending on the water pressure on the farm which mostly goes up and down)</font>

=== Examples to buy: ===

  * KÄRCHER HD 10/25-4 S
  * KRÄNZLE QUADRO 1000 TS
  * RENO 195/18 with pressure switch
  * RENO 220/18 with pressure switch

Remember to use a **[[:parts:water_filter|water filter]]**  with the incoming water to the high-pressure washer (filter placed before the high-pressure washer). Water isn't always clean and the particles make wear on the high-pressure washer and the nozzle.

**<font 12pt/inherit;;inherit;;inherit>We recommend that you buy your high-pressure washer from the local dealer who can give you the best service.</font>**
