[#2087431]

It's for cyclocross pit use so needs to be able to draw water from a barrel/bucket.

Ebay throws up a bewildering array, I was hoping to find a serviced ex demo or rental for under £200.

Cheers!

Get some ear defenders whilst you're at it.

This is the one most people/teams use these days. good reliability and not too expensive. http://www.jet-wash-direct.co.uk/pressurewashers/thermic3s.html

thanks blazin-saddles!

face-plant and robinbetts, have you a better idea of cleaning a mud encrusted bike in 4 mins up to 10 times in an hour? If so, there are LOADS of cyclocross racers, teams and pit crews who would love to hear from you

FIL had a couple of Demon petrol pressure washers - very reliable but he eventually went for a (very powerful) electric one that's a fair bit quieter.
