Homemade Pressure Washer using Air Compressor

[Markfothebeast]

I had an issue with my gas pressure washer the other day so I decided to take a shot at creating a pneumatically driven pressure washer using things laying around in the garage. It worked better than expected so I thought I'd make a quick video to share. It still needs some tweaking.

Thats pretty slick. My dad has a store bought version thats very similar. I donno if they still make and sell them or not. Pretty cool build you have there.

Nice, subscribed for future build.

I was able to increase the pressure hugely by removing the gun regulator and raising the main regulator output to 140psi. I'll have a part 2 video soon.

Just make sure you don't back feed 140 psi air back into your homes plumbing. If your wife flushes the toilet you'll be in trouble.

That's a good point I didn't think about. I plumbed in a freeze proof spigot last week that has a check valve.
