jet washers

[WILLWONKER]

Do you think people who own jet washers get carried away with the thrill of squrting water.
Why i ask is the chap at the back of me started jet washing his two cars at 9am today and also washed about ten slabs on his drive he was still at it at 2pm, he must have empted a reservoir on his own today, and why do you need a jet washer to clean a car beats me, now i can understand a farmer useing one on his land rover that will be thick of mud, but the blast of a jet washer can take the paint off and dislodge screen ,headlight and window seals,

Dangerous things, lol Ok to clean your red brick drive and patios.

Reminds me of when I got the ordinary hosepipe took it into the garden to water the garden ran back into the house to turn the tap on. When I came out of the house the hosepipe was dancing in the air squirting water all over the garden including next door's front door and windows. Took a bit to catch the hosepipe and I got wet through and I expect, entertained all the neighbours.

Love my jetwasher!............never use it on the cars,.......but it's great for the patio and drive, they get so grubby if not cleaned!............

My neighbour's the same. Truth is that they're not needed for washing a car nor much else for that matter. Having spent the cash though, you really do have to justify it's purchase.

Pond, i'm not getting at anyone who as got one , BUT the average jet wash you buy from the DIY outlets can use from four up to ten Lts per min, so lets say this chap as one that uses six Lts a min for five hours, thats = 1800lts so i don't call that a lot less than i think.

Oh, I never use mine for that long!.........1 hour once a month at most!...........Careful with water, on a meter!........

My neighbour spends every sunday in his garden from 8am to 6pm cutting the grass in his field on his ride on mower, then he`ll use the petrol mower to add some stripes then he`ll finish of strimming the edges with his petrol strimmer........ noisy fooker

I'm glad my neighbour has moved out - every bloody sunday morning at 8am he got the power washer out to clean the car!! the noise of it!!! (and he always did it half naked - well no shirt and a pair of shorts and flip flops....)
