Beginner Washing/Detailing

[Jakester]

Hey guys!

I recently just got a new car and want to start washing at home! I picked up a Trinova Foam Cannon. A couple days ago I also picked up a Greenworks Electric Power Washer, which has 1700 psi and 1.2GPM.

I didn't realize at the time, but it seems most foam cannons require 1.7 GPM. The cannon I purchased (luckily?), claims it requires 1.4 GPM.

Will I be okay with this lower GPM? Or should I seriously consider getting a higher performing one? I need/want electric for sure. I'm just not too sure how much GPM matters. I will mainly only be using this washer for cars. Any help is appreciated, thanks

I probably have a million more questions, but before I start with anything else...I just want to make sure that I will "hopefully" be okay with this setup!

Thanks in advance!

I think you'll be fine. It probably won't foam as well if you had a higher gpm one, but it should work. I too have a GW 1700psi pressure washer, but with 1.4gpm and it does a great job.

hey jake

you should be fine with that gpm. youll probably require a bit more soap to get the desired suds but it should be fine
