S. Florida - Washing w/ a Pressure Washer

[David Fermani]

After reading the water restrictions for S. Florida (Palm Beach County) I noticed the area for "Other Outdoor Water Uses". It allows the use of *low volume* pressure cleaning. I use a electric 2 gallon per minute pressure washer to wash my cars. Is this considered low volume?? It mentions that the machine has to be designed to reduce the the volume of water used. Any thoughts?? What is the volume at the spicket??

Dave..I have a well and I put out over 5 gallons a minute....city water is higher pressure and larger volume...so I would say that you are in the range to use it...

test it..time a fill on a 5 gallon bucket if it fills in less than a minute you are ok...

I'm not sure what your city's water gpm is but it sounds like it could be a good way around the water restrictions.

why do you have water restrictions?
