FAQs
What is the difference between this hot steam washer and a cold water one?
Hot steam pressure washers use a boiler to heat water, creating steam that is highly effective at breaking down grease, oil, and sanitizing surfaces. Cold water washers rely solely on pressure.
How often should I use the descaling solution?
The frequency depends on your water hardness and usage. It's recommended to consult the user manual for specific guidelines or when you notice a decrease in performance or water flow.
Can I use any brand of detergent?
It is strongly recommended to use detergents specifically designed for pressure washers and compatible with hot water systems to avoid damaging the machine or the surface being cleaned.
What maintenance is required for the diesel boiler?
The boiler requires regular checks of the burner, fuel filter, and general cleaning. Please refer to the manufacturer's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
What is the warranty period for this pressure washer?
The SIP Tempest PH660/120HDS comes with a 2-year warranty.
Is this pressure washer suitable for home use?
While powerful, its design and features are geared towards commercial and industrial applications. For typical home use, a smaller, cold water pressure washer might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Machine not producing pressure
Check water supply connection, ensure the pump is primed, and verify that the Total Stop system is not engaged. Inspect the lance nozzle for blockages.
No hot water or steam
Verify the diesel fuel level in the tank. Check the boiler ignition and ensure the temperature settings are correct. Refer to the manual for boiler troubleshooting.
Total Stop function not working
Inspect the trigger mechanism and associated hoses for damage or leaks. The pressure switch may require adjustment or replacement.
Poor cleaning performance
Ensure the correct nozzle is selected for the task. Check detergent flow and concentration. Clean or replace the water filter and check for blockages in the lance or hose.
Excessive vibration or noise
Check for secure connections and ensure the machine is on a stable surface. Unusual noises may indicate pump issues; consult the manual or service technician.
