So i got sick of buying $100 karcher pressure washers and having them break down after a year.
So i broke down and got a kodiak $400 and here is my question:
It came with one of those power heads (a rotary head)
the washer is only 1100psi will the power head damage my screens (it seem to be ok but its kind of aggressive)
Maybe i should buy the regular fan head thats $100
What do you think???
Thanks guys

Yeah that will mess up a lot of stuff. I use to own a pressure washing business and I could etch into concrete with that thing. I used a higher PSI machine, but the 0 degree is a harsh tip (even cut myself with it a few times). The "rotary head" you are talking about is normally a 0 degree tip that can wiggle around to cover more area. Hope that helps.

kinda ,so the "rotary head" is a bad idea...i have washed a few screens with it do you think i damaged them?

what the recommended type of head to use and at what pressure?


warm water / cold water any thoughts?

I have a NorthStar 1800 PSI pressure washer with a 15 degree tip that works great. Never damaged a screen with it.

As long as your screen isn't ripped up you should be ok using it again.

Yeah I would say a 15 or 20 degree tip.
