Default Little power washer project...

I had been wanting to set something up for a while. Finally finished it up over the weekend. Works pretty well! Ran a 20amp outlet and 2 water sources also (one feeds the washer, other is bucket fill). Wanted to keep all the plumbing PEX, added a valve in the basement so I can shut it off and drain it during the cold months. Any of you guys runs a similar washer setup?

That's a great idea
Do you run hot water through it?

I decided not to run a hot one this go round. I didnt have very easy access to the hot water line anyway. Plus, I didnt want to temp fate running hot water through my cheap washer. Here in a few years Ill jump to a Kranzle which I know can handle the hot water!

I have one of those cheap harbor freight electric jobs and I have been debating dedicating it to a pressure wash setup. Been using a foam cannon for a while (I actually have pretty high pressure for my area) and like the idea of getting a wash in without a mitt when I can.
