Why the High Pressure Ball Valve is Essential for Efficiency for Your Pressure Washing Business
As a pressure washing business owner, you know that time is money. Every minute spent switching out tools or turning off your pressure washer is a minute lost in productivity. That why I want to introduce the high pressure ball valve is an essential tool for increasing efficiency and maximizing profits.
Quick Changeover of High Pressure Tools
One of the biggest time-wasters in a pressure washing business is switching out high pressure tools. With a traditional M22 high pressure hose for example, you would need to turn off your pressure washer to stop the flow, uncouple, the reattach the new high pressure tool. This process can take several minutes, and can add up to hours of lost productivity over the course of a day walking to and from your machine.
But with a high pressure ball valve, you can quickly and easily switch out tools without turning off your pressure washer. The ball valve allows you to shut off the flow of water to one tool while leaving the pressure washer running, so you can quickly attach a new tool and get back to work. This quick changeover can save you valuable time and increases your productivity.
No Need to Turn Off Your Pressure Washer
In addition to quick changeover of tools, a high pressure ball valve also eliminates the need to turn off your pressure washer when you're not using it. With a traditional valve, you would need to turn off your pressure washer every time you take a break or switch to a different tool.
But with a high pressure ball valve, you can simply close the valve to stop the flow of water, without turning off your pressure washer.
