Zoom on the Realm BY03-VBP-WTR
The Realm BY03-VBP-WTR is a medium duty pressure washer, that provides its users with an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and enables:

The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
The Realm BY03-VBP-WTR
Using a 13 amp universal motor, its axial pump delivers a pressure of up to 2400 PSI (roughly 40 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.75 GPM (values as per CSA testing standards). Together, the values result in a cleaning power of 4200 Cleaning Units.
The BY03-VBP-WTR is an electric pressure washer and thus, can be easily started by an ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D13 x W14 x H28 in, the Realm BY03-VBP-WTR makes mobility one of its core strengths. The handle adds to the BY03-VBP-WTR convenience of transport.
Since the unit weighs only 30 lbs, it is very easily carried around. Among other factors, the plastic frame plays a role in this light weight. To further improve its transportability and ease of use, the unit also features a set of two solid wheels.
Main Features
The Realm BY03-VBP-WTR's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 2 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: A safe detergent storage is facilitated by a 0.2 gal tank. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
- Pressure hose: Using a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan, the included 19 ft high-pressure hose can be easily stored on the unit when it is not running.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its plastic wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: two nozzles are included. The adjustable nozzle lets you change spray pattern from a full fan spray (widest spray width) to a direct stream spray (narrowest spray width). The soap nozzle lets you add a cleaning solution to the water stream.
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.
- Onboard storage: The Realm BY03-VBP-WTR allows you to be always fully prepared, as it features a handy storage area, where nozzles and accessories can be stored.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: Included with the Realm BY03-VBP-WTR are also the owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and some basic documentation to get you promptly started, along with several accessories, such as tool kit, pressure hose, nozzle cleaner, spray gun, wand and power cord.
