What to look for in a good pressure washer hose?

When looking for a pressure washer hose there are a few things to take into consideration to make sure you get the right fit for your needs. A regular garden hose won’t do the job. You want to make sure your pressure washer hose is good quality and up to your standards to keep you from having to replace the hose more frequently. When you are looking for pressure washer hose for your needs the three most important things are, pressure rating, hose size, and hose length. Most pressure washer systems have a range of 3,000psi to 5,000psi so having a pressure washer hose that can handle that is important.

Luckily here at Discount Hydraulic hose our pressure washer hoses range from 4,000psi to 6,000 psi depending on the hose you get. Hose size matters depending on your application. In most cases you will need 3/8” pressure washer hose but be sure you know the hose size you need to fit your system before you buy. Lastly it is important to know how long you need your hose to be. Just be aware that although it is mostly insignificant there is around a 50psi loss in pressure for every 100 feet of hose you have attached to the system.

There are also a few other things to consider when wondering how to find a good pressure washer hose for you. Things like temperature, if you need a non-marking pressure washer hose, or what fittings you need to fit your system. We sell both premade pressure washer hose assemblies, with two NPTF Male fittings on each end, as well as custom hose assemblies where you can choose your own fittings on each end.
