Direct-drive pressure washers are the least expensive design to build, so their selling prices are very attractive to buyers. This is the design used for machines varying from the very smallest ones up to the 4 GPM size.
In this design, the pump is connected directly to the engine. It spins at the same speed as the engine (and therefore spins at the same speed as the engine).
Regular pump maintenance is more important than ever when you own a direct-drive power washer. With proper maintenance and service, you can expect many years of service from these machines.
Most casual users and contractors buy direct-drive pressure washers as their first machine. |
