Pressure Washer Sand Blaster
Dramatically increase cleaning power, convert your pressure washer into a pressure washer sand blaster.
There are many different types of kits that can be used to add sand. Wet sandblasting is better than dry
sandblasting because it produces far less choking and irritating dust. This is essential if the job requires
removing rust, paint, and graffiti. Most kits work best when combined with a commercial strength washer in the 3000
psi range.
As the sand grinds away at the surface you are cleaning, the high pressure water is removing the loosened
pieces. Using them in tandem eliminates rough spots and leaves a smooth surface in its wake. There are a few
different materials that are used for sandblasting depending on what is being cleaned. The two main types of sand
are dry silica sand and dried river sand. Because of the danger involved with pressure washer sand
blasting, you should always exercise caution and follow all safety rules. Always keep the nozzle pointed
downward, especially when the compressor is on and the gun is connected. It is also important to keep the sand
supply dry, always keep it covered while you are working.
