can hot tap water be used?

Hot tap water may be used up to 140 degrees

September 2, 2010

Yes, but on the continuous run models, no bypass pressure switch, it can cause it to blow your seals if you leave it unattended for more than 20-25 mins. It's best to shut it off immediately if you're using hot water instead of cold to avoid unintentional damage. Also, make sure your water heater isn't set above 160 degrees. Precautions and temp limits are in the owners manual.

Can I use an extra 30 feet of hose with this washer?

Yes, this NorthStar pressure washer will accommodate an extra 30 feet of hose with little to no PSI and GPM loss.

Yes, this machine will work with the extra hose without a noticeable change in pressure.

In fact, most of the time I am using it connected to a 100 feet hose, and works great.

I am using a pressure meter to monitor the pressure and basically I can't perceive a change when I switch from the included 25 ft hose to the 100ft.

Yes, I've used up to 130 additional footage. just make sure you blow out line every time before you attach the wand. Many times, I've had to unclog my nozzle tip because I neglected to wash out the hose extension. Sometimes dust, critters, rust, etc. gets in there and causes more problems to correct than to take the time to connect the extra hose and blow water thru prior to adding the gun and pressuring up.

Gun and nozzle compatibility

Details:

Does the gun have M22 fittings? And is the wand quick connect 1/4" or some other size?

Anonymous

July 27, 2011

Answers

Our NorthStar electric pressure washer comes with a gun that has a 3/8 inch quick connect on the inlet, the lance will be connected to the gun with a M22 fitting. At the outlet end of the lance there is a 1/4 inch quick connect for different nozzles.

No, it does not cut-off automatically, but it has a built in by-pass that does just fine. If you definetly want an auto shut-off, you better look at another unit.

The chemical injector and the low pressure nozzle cannot be adjusted or proportioned. When using the chemical injector, it will draw a water to soap ratio of approximately 10 to 1.

when using soap is it still under high pressure for cleaning or is it just a a light spray

Anonymous

July 4, 2012

Answers

The chemical injector on all NorthStar pressure washers is low pressure. A low pressure nozzle (included) will siphon soap from a container via a small hose(also included). The chemical injector will only siphon when used with the low pressure soap nozzle, but Northern does sell a high pressure soap shooter as an accessory. See link below for more information.

How long can you let it idle safely?

Details:

I have this until and I wash our cars frequently. It's common to use it intermittently while washing. I'm paranoid so I always run back to the unit and turn the power off when I'm not pulling the trigger. How long can I safely let it sit with the power on but the trigger not engaged (i.e. running but without water coming out the gun)?

NorthStar Electric Cold Water Pressure Washer - 2000 PSI, 1.5 GPM, 120 Volt 4.7 5 27 27

Blow the paint off,,,, Took the paint right off the promotional licsense plate on my truck. Very pleased. Will watch how close I get to the object that I am cleaning, but rate this top notch equipment. Pleased with the extra hose and hose reel that I added to this purchase, along with the complete nozzel set. Would highly recommend this to a friend. August 13, 2012

Good power yet low h2o consumption We got this unit for our shop. Originally we bought the unit one step down (1700PSI/1.5GPM) but it just wasn't strong enough to blast grime, bugs, etc. from vehicles. This unit is perfect. The hot water upgrade can be added later. Our O-Ring on the lance went bad the first month but Northern sent us a new wand! This is the limit of electric pressure washers and it does a great job for us! August 13, 2012

As Advertised!!! Does a good job on the equipment and vehicals I use it on. Has about the same general feel of pressure while using it as the average commercial car wash. Well built, good, solid machine. I like it. May 19, 2012

Excellent working Pressure Washer Bought this pressure washer last fall. I was looking at gas powered units but this unit was on sale. I was somewhat hesitant to get an electric pressure washer but the price was too go. I have to say it really does a good job. If you are looking for a unit to clean siding, driveway, or light to medium jobs then this unit will work. If you are needing a heavy duty unit then I would go with a gas powered unit. I plan on purchasing a turbo nozzel for cleaning my tractor and other farm equipment. May 14, 2012

Outstanding Well Manufactured Pressure Washer I decided to buy the Northstar Electric Cold Water Pressure Washer 2000 after evaluating several alternatives, and finding that this Pressure Washer is outstanding in its category. PROS Quality Components. The Cat 2DX15ES pump included comes equipped with unloader, pressure relief valve and garden hose inlet with filter, and The 2 HP Leeson electric Motor has a special design and is able to start over a 20 Amps Electric circuit without any noticeable surge in current (19.4 Amps vs 17.2 Amps Operation) . The 36 FT cable comes with included GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection). Hose: 25 Ft non Marking (Short for most applications, however this Pressure Washer is easy to move around). The Motor-Pump combination offers a smooth operation with lower noise when compared to Pressure Washers operating on Gas Motors. The big advantage here is that this Pressure Washer when measured under operating conditions showed 80 dB vs close to 100dB for my other 2.5 Gallon Pressure washer equipped with a Honda Motor. Just consider that 20db difference means that the sound produced by the Gas Pressure Washer is 100 time more intense. CONS Accesories. Nozzles. Only includes a 15° Nozzle and Chemical Nose. Here you should consider completing the kit with a 0°, 25°, 40°. Note that this Nozzles have to be 2.0 to work correctly on the machine. Turbo Nozzle Unfortunately Northen Tools does not offer a Turbo Nozzle with a 2.0 Orifice. I tried the Northstar Pressure Washer Turbo Nozzle but found that it comes with a #3.0 Size Nozzle that simply does not work on this machine (Pressure will be only around 800 PSI). GPM This pressure washer is rated at 1.5 GPM what limits it’s productivity but on the other hand you will have a lot of control for jobs around your home, and the convenience of Electric operation. OTHER COMMENTS I installed a pressure meter in the inlet to monitor that I am not exceeding the 60 PSI max. input pressure for the pump and a 3000 PSI meter on the output to verify the effective amount of pressure I am getting from the machine. It is showing only 1700 PSI (See picture included) however at this point I need to verify if the Voltage supplied is the reason for this lower than expected result. CONCLUSION This is a well Manufactured (in the USA) product that is a great alternative if you are looking for a long lasting reliable Water Pressure and is willing to pay the difference vs the "Plastic" low cost electric Pressure washers available in the market, but if you are reading this review most probably you care about product quality, and you will enjoy this product for many years.

pressure washer The washer is simple to use and very well made we have one at where I work that they wash buses with. That is the reason i purchased the same one the one at the shop is at least 10 years old and is used often. I would tell anyone that is looking for a good washer it is this one. March 22, 2011

Great machine I got this to clean up at my home winery. It replaces 2 worn out Karcher units that only lasted a few months before problems set in. The Northern unit is quieter, more convenient and FAR more powerful. After 2 years it is still running strong and no problems. Cleans barrels, tanks, crushers and presses squeaky clean. Very happy with it. Highly recommended. March 21, 2011

NorthStar Electric Pressure Washer 2000 PSI This unit is well constructed. The push cart with the large inflatable wheels makes it very easy to move around. The 2HP motor provides plenty of spraying power. So far I have only used it to clean my cars and SUV’s and it does a great job. I had a GFI receptacle installed with a 20A circuit. I was a little hesitant to spend this much but decided I wanted a heavy duty machine that would last for years. The hose that came with the machine was not long enough to reach around a vehicle so I purchased a 50FT hose. I like the lower noise level compared to a gas unit. March 16, 2011

Great for indoor use Our pool deck was getting pretty filthy and takes quite a while to scrub down with deck brushes. We got this washer to help speed up the process. It was simple to put together, and came oiled up and ready to go. It got all the deep down grime out that the brushes were leaving behind. Only thing I was surprised on was the plug type. I was not aware that it was a Heavy Duty type plug and needed the special outlet. Once we had a few switched out it worked perfect! March 14, 2011
