Pressure washer pumps come in several types and use reciprocating or rotary action to push liquids through an intake valve and then back out through an outflow valve. Piston or plunger style are the most common, but there are also axial cam and triplex plunger options.
Choosing the right type of pressure washer pump is a crucial decision and it can be overwhelming. But we can help.
The first question to ask yourself is what kind of pump you need for your specific application. If you're in a residential environment and don't use the machine frequently, an entry level pump might be all you need.
If you're looking to take on big jobs and want a powerful pump with a long lifespan, we recommend upgrading to a triplex plunger pump. They're a little more expensive but they will last longer and perform better.
A triplex pump is a piston-type pump driven by a crankshaft and can be either fixed or variable displacement. The variable displacement version allows the swash plate to be adjusted for different flow rates. This will add to the life of your pump and allow you to use it more often without needing a new pump.
