Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Two high-pressure hot-water washer models are manufactured by Power Flow Engineering. One is called the Hot Power Five and delivers 2 gpm at 500 psi and the other the Hot Power Ten which delivers 3 gpm at 1000 psi. Both are mounted on rubber wheels and the specification in each case includes 30ft of hose, a lightweight insulated hand lance and a 5gal detergent container.

The Power Flow hot-water high-pressure cleaner takes water from the mains into a 10gal reservoir tank. The water is then pumped through a heater (bringing it up to 60deg C), mixed with detergent and then pumped through a highpressure, wire-reinforced steel hose to a nozzle fitted with flatfen or sprayjet.

One switch starts the heater and the pump and within 60sec the Jet is brought to full working temperature. Fuel consumption Is claimed to be 1.8gal per hour of light fuel oil such as paraffin, TVO or diesel.

An unloader valve releases water into the reservoir tank should a circuit blockage develop end another valve releases steam and water on to the ground In the event of a pressure build up through overheating. Optional item. are a heater cut-out switch to operate on loss of water pressure and a motor overload switch.

Extension hoses and alterni tive jets for the machines a available. Both models are powered by electricity and a available in 240V single phas 110V single phase and 44( three phase and are supplii with 15ft of cable and a suite plug.
