Flow rate: Measured in Liter per Minue (LpM)
Remember every pressure washer either smaller or larger, does basically the same job of cleaning. With GPM, you are talking time. The more GPM, the less time you are taking to clean. Purchase a model large enough for your cleaning requirements. Too large is better than too small. Too small means longer wash times, more downtime, more repairs and greater cost
