    Some of the plastic ones have this eco feature to help you save water (a smaller internal bore) it can be a right pain in the nuts causing the washer to cycle on and off, as cerco said the brass ones are best and have a proper full diameter internal bore.

    I think anyone looking at saving water on a 450ltr/min device are sadly disillusioned

    I have a fairly strong 10l/ min washer as I use it for farming as well. It has cut the length of power washing something by much more than 50% than a 6L/min washer

    I picked this up a couple of weeks ago, it also feeds direct from a water butt. However unfortunately that connection didn't come supplied, any suggestions where I might get one or one that's compatible with parkside brand?

    Why people want to use water butts as the dirt in them is unreal and weed seeds.

    Thinking its a hose and filter that is sunk into the butt??

    Check makers website for extras.

    Water pressure isn't high enough so i fill a clean barrel and take a break when it gets too low to let it fill up again, barrel also very handy when adding a mix like clear path to help get rid of moss.

    Clean barrel is handy to have if you can have a big one thats see through is handy.
