Simpson PS3228-S - 3300 PSI 2.5 GPM Gas Pressure Washer With Honda Engine

Power

The Simpson PS3228-S

Powered by a 196cc (5.5 hp) engine, its triplex pump can deliver a pressure of 3300 PSI (around 55 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.5 GPM (CETA-certified values). With these values combined, the Simpson PS3228-S boasts a cleaning power of 8250 Cleaning Units.

To start the Honda GX200 engine of this gas-powered washer, users employ the familiar pull-start technique.

Gasoline is stored in a steel fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.8 gallon.

Design & Handling

With its wheelbarrow design, the Simpson PS3228-S delivers superior maneuverability and stability, facilitating easy transport and steady performance across various surfaces. With its strong welded steel frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. The reversible handle offers further versatility, as its different positions make the unit less bulky when stored.

Weighing in at 82 lbs, it's safe to say this unit isn't lightweight, which might pose difficulties for users when it comes to lifting and transporting, particularly over uneven surfaces. A key role in its final weight is played by its 196cc Honda GX200 engine, the triplex pump and welded steel frame. Despite this, the presence of two 10" pneumatic wheels reduces the complexity of moving the PS3228-S, even on rugged surfaces.

Main Features

The Simpson PS3228-S

Along with the Simpson PS3228-S itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.

• Soap injection: While not equipped with a soap tank, the device maintains detergent supply through a siphon hose. Utilizing an automatic soap dilution mechanism, the Simpson PS3228-S accurately mixes detergent to the defined ratio of 7:1, enhancing cleaning efficiency. Connection of a soap nozzle triggers the pressure washer to automatically incorporate the detergent into the water stream.
• Pressure hose: When not in use, the unit allows for tidy storage of the included 25 ft ⌀5/16" high-pressure hose using a set of convenient hooks, ensuring convenient organization.
• Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its steel wand.
• Nozzles: Find details on the 5 included nozzles and their recommended surface applications in the table below.

Please be aware: The shapes of the depicted nozzles are for illustration purposes and may differ. Symbols utilized include a red cross indicating 'Not recommended,' a green check for 'Suitable,' and an orange check for 'Use with caution.'
