What do I need to convert a regular air compressor (for power tools) to a power washer?
Super Dude asked:
They seem similar but different. Normally you buy either an air compressor or a power (water) washer. I want to buy an air compressor, just wondering if it can be easily converted into a power washer.

An air compressor will not produce the required pressure needed to use as a power washer. And no it would probably cost more that buying the units separately.
can’t be done
A powerwasher does not use air assit to begin with..it is all hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pump on it…About all you can use on a compressor to make a power washer will be the tires and the frame to mount the motor/pumps etcetera on.. Pressure washer needs no air tank
Sears sold a power washer gun a while back that would attach to a compressor and you have to hook up a water hose to it as well but it was only about 150psi. Not to strong.
Will not work. Air compressors don’t create the kind of pressure a pressure washer requires anyway. Even if it could be done(which I doubt), it would rust internally.
