Power
The Pulsar PWE1600
Its axial (wobble plate) pump, which utilizes a 12-amp universal motor, may deliver a pressure of up to 1600 PSI (almost 27 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.6 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 2560 Cleaning Units.
The PWE1600 initiates operation effortlessly with a straightforward ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Designed for on-the-go use, the Pulsar PWE1600 offers a portable design and approximate dimensions of D8 x W10 x H24 in to facilitate easy movement. The handle adds to the PWE1600 convenience of transport.
At just 18 lbs, this unit is incredibly lightweight, ensuring hassle-free mobility wherever you need it. Its lightweight construction is partially attributed to its plastic frame. In addition to its lightweight build, the inclusion of two 6" solid wheels ensures easy mobility and handling.
Main Features
The Pulsar PWE1600's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose and a detergent addition feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the gun. Due to the absence of a soap dilution feature, users of the Pulsar PWE1600 must ensure detergent is correctly diluted prior to use.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a set of convenient hooks, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 19 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its versatile wand can be easily stored in a side hook. The adjustable wand lets you adjust the spray pattern from a full fan spray (widest spray width) to a direct stream spray (narrowest spray width).
Other Features
- Total Stop System (TSS): This feature automatically shuts off the pressure washer when the trigger is not engaged, to prolong the pump's lifespan.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: On top of an owner's manual and the usual documentation to get you swiftly started, the Pulsar PWE1600 also comes with foam cannon (to add cleaning solutions to the water), pressure hose, wand, spray gun and power cord.
