From Our Founder

My name is Jeff Ostler and I’m the co-owner of Amarillo Pressure Wash. I started this company over 12 years ago. Just about every week I’ll get a call from someone who will ask “How much pressure can your equipment produce?” My usual response is “Why do you ask?” Then they’ll usually explain that they have something really dirty that needs cleaned. Most people think “high pressure” means “higher cleanliness.” It’s not necessarily true. Our equipment can generate very high pressure. In fact, I can bore a hole into your concrete if I set the pressure high enough (usually about 4,500 psi), but that wouldn’t help me or my customers.

The most important metric when it comes to commercial pressure washers is not pressure or psi, it’s gpm or gallons per minute. For example, the portable pressure washer you can purchase from Lowes or Home Depot will usually generate 3,600 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure. More importantly, they move about 1 to 1.25 gallons of water (gpm) through per minute. Most commercial pressure washers will move 4 or even 6 gallons per minute at the same 3,600 psi. So if you have a washer that moves one gallon per minute, and another that moves four, the one with four cleans four times faster. Our rigs move nine gallons per minute. They have big motors, big pumps and are more expensive to operate, but they get the job done faster. Our rigs also have big diesel burners to heat water to the appropriate temperature for the job.

There have been many times over the years where a small pressure washer operator has called me to say “I’m closing up shop and have a rig for sale. Are you interested in buying it?” My usual response is “I don’t know….maybe; how many gpm’s does it do? More times than not their response is “what’s that?” No surprise that they’re going out of business.
