PSI vs. GPM. What matters most?
When choosing a pressure washer, PSI and GPM are both equally important. The PSI refers to the amount of pressure produced and GPM refers to the amount of water flow. Each pressure washer is designed to have the correct combination of PSI and GPM to have the most effective cleaning experience for your needs.
Imagine PSI being a “stripping” action to blast off the grime with force on the surface you’re cleaning and GPM as the “flow” to move/rinse the dirt and grime off the surface.
PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) refers to
- the amount of cleaning pressure the machine can produce.
- the amount of cleaning pressure the machine can produce.
- the amount of cleaning pressure the machine can produce.
GPM (Gallons per Minute) is the amount of water that is coming from the machine.
We often measure this PSI/GPM combination to create Cleaning Units (CU.)
Cleaning Units (CU) is the result of multiplying the PSI by the GPM. Cleaning units gives us a measurement of machine performance (efficiency) to compare one pressure washer to another.
Example:
Pressure washer A has 3000 PSI and 2.0 GPM = 6000 Cleaning Units
Pressure washer B has 2000 PSI and 3.0 GPM = 6000 Cleaning Units
The difference? The rinsing power is greater in pressure washer B than the stripping power. Meaning, Pressure washer B will clean (rinse dirt away) faster than pressure washer A. Although the CU is the same in both pressure washers, the higher the GPM, the faster the job will be finished.
