Choosing the Right Pressure Washer for Building & Property Maintenance

Choosing the Right Pressure Washer for Building & Property Maintenance

Keeping commercial buildings, complexes and public spaces clean takes the right gear.  

Whether you manage high-use walkways, car parks, facades, or large concrete areas, you need a pressure cleaner that handles the hours, constant stop-start work and the demands of Australian conditions.

 

SPITWATER industrial pressure cleaners are built for this sector. They deliver strong performance, low downtime and long service life. 

In this article, we take you through what to consider when choosing a SPITWATER for building and property maintenance, and why these machines fit the job. 


Factors to Consider when Choosing the Right Pressure Cleaner for Building and Property Maintenance Tasks.

Cleaning in this sector is constant. You deal with image presentation, safety issues, trip hazards, slippery surfaces and tight time windows.  

SPITWATER machines are engineered to deliver reliable performance in those conditions.

Every model in our industrial petrol range pairs a Honda engine with an Italian-made Interpump pump, tested and approved to handle Australian fuel and temperatures.   

The unique Oz-Tuff belt drive system and low-speed pump design reduce heat, lower wear and provide longer pump life.

This setup keeps your machine running longer and reduces downtime.

Choosing The Right Flow Rate

Two flow rates are most common in property maintenance: 15 LPM and 21 LPM.

  • 15 Litres Per Minute: Best for residential and light commercial areas where water supply is limited. Ideal for mobile work when you cannot rely on high flow.

  • 21 Litres Per Minute: Delivers faster cleaning. Expect around 30 percent quicker results compared to 15 LPM. A strong option for large concrete areas, car parks and long-duration surface cleaning.

When paired with a buffer tank, both flow rates handle continuous work without overheating.

This is supported by SPITWATER’s bypass cooling tank, which keeps the pump cool when the trigger is not engaged.


Clean Faster with Accessories 

Flow is only part of the time-saving. Choosing the right accessories contribute to increases in performance. We've found the following to be most impactful in building and property maintenance applications:

  • Long cast stabiliser nozzles reach upper levels without ladders or EWP hire.

  • Larger surface cleaners reduce the hours spent on walkways, entry areas and open spaces. Wheel vs no-wheel surface cleaners allow you to match the attachment to your surface.

  • Foamers and injectors support chemical applications where needed for heavy buildup.

  • Hose length saves time when working far from the machine. Many jobs in this sector require up to 50 metres of hose to reach around buildings or across large areas.

  • Winding and packing hose by hand is slow and awkward. Hose management like a hose reel mounted to the machine or vehicle tray makes setup and pack-down faster across the day.

Choose Portable or Permanently Mounted

Some operators need the flexibility of a portable unit. Others prefer to hard-mount the machine to a ute, trailer or van. 

SPITWATER gives you both options. Machines can be fitted with anti-vibration mounts and have the wheels removed for a clean, durable permanent installation.

This suits commercial operators, strata teams, local councils and contractors who need equipment ready to go at all times.
