Car owners often hesitate to entrust the washing of their iron friend to paid car washes, coping on their own. Especially for the manual washing of cars, mini-car washes were created, which efficiently cope with their duties and dirt on the cars. So what should be a good mini-sink?
The main parameters of mini-sinks
First of all, a mini-car wash should have a power that will wash away dried dirt from the car with a strong pressure of water. For this, its capacity must be at least 120 bar. The mini-sink pump, like its other parts, can be made of plastic or metal. The second option is more preferable, since the metal pump is less prone to overheating. It is also advisable to choose a mini-sink with a collapsible pump, which can be easily repaired if necessary.
The high cost of a mini-sink is not always an indicator of its quality, since a large price increase is associated with the promotion of the brand.
It is better to take a reusable filter for purifying water in a mini-sink so that you do not have to constantly purchase disposable filters. The service life of the unit is calculated by the permissible amount of washing the car per day, which is indicated in the data sheet of the mini-wash. Also, when buying a mini-car wash, it is important to pay attention to its attachments, which simplify the washing process and knock dirt from the inner parts of the wheels or the underside of the car. From the sink connection systems, you should choose a unit with a connection to the water supply system, which independently pumps the required volume of water into the mini-sink tank.
Features of mini sinks
Mini-car washes, which do not have a water heating function, clean the car with a water jet pressure, brush attachments and detergents added to the water. Heated sinks are more professional because they remove dirt efficiently and use water and detergents sparingly.
Mini-sinks with heating are inconvenient to transport in a car and use at home, since their thermo unit is heavy and quite large.
When choosing a sink, it is important to determine its water consumption - this parameter should not be less than 300 liters per hour. To wash one car for 15-20 minutes, 60 liters of water will be enough. The container for car detergents located inside the car wash requires the use of only those detergents provided by the car wash manufacturer. If the container is on the spray gun, any product will work.
In addition to washing a car, mini-car washes can be used to wash a summer cottage fence, garage floor, garden paths and many other objects. The most popular and multifunctional car washes are not cheap, but the result will not disappoint the car owner.
