How to choose a manual car wash
Buying a car wash is a serious matter, since such a device, even the cheapest model, does not cost a lot of money. Although in life and it turns out the buyer for the lowest cost, trying to get the thing with all the functions. As for the car wash, the cheapest model (about $ 200) will not work for a long time, and if it is used regularly.
On the modern market are models of different manufacturers, and their number is constantly growing. Getting a car wash of an unknown brand can result in a completely different from what was expected. In fact, even firms well-promoted produce devices, with cheap parts.
Undoubtedly, the leader in sales of car washes is occupied by KARCHER. You can also choose another manufacturer who has long been offering its services to the market and has good reviews. In the future, this will help in case of breakdowns to acquire the necessary parts and repair the device.
Currently there is a huge selection of different car washes on the market.
In any case, the buyer is always offered as expensive models of devices, and those that are cheaper. How can these options differ between themselves:
- Washing speed (there are three classes: upper, middle, primary);
- Bundling;
- Functional.
Many sellers, offering some models of car washes, note such a positive quality of the device as the absorption of water from a certain depth, for example, from a well. Of course, this is possible, but in this way a large load is imposed on the apparatus and, with frequent use, any even the most powerful tool is subject to rapid wear.
Another rule: never leave a car wash in the cold if there is water in it. At zero temperature, the water in it will freeze and such a breakdown will no longer be possible. The cleaner the water that enters the machine, the longer its service life will be. The most correct solution in this case is to use additional water filtration. Fine filters and coarse filters are the most suitable for this option. At the moment, the choice of filters is quite large, so there will be no problems with the purchase of such a device.

Repair of washing equipment is carried out as regularly. First of all it concerns the replacement of oil. After thirty working hours, the oil in the car wash must be replaced, then this procedure is repeated every hundred hours of working time. Use oil for washing equipment of good quality, preferably the brand that the manufacturer recommends.
Another important indicator that affects the service life of a car washer is water consumption per minute. If the technical specifications indicate that a car wash should consume 14 liters of water per minute, and in fact only 12.5 liters flow into the water supply, this adversely affects the operation of the device.
