Pressure Washer Pumps and Pump Parts

The heart of any pressure washer is the pressure washer pump. Powered by a gas or electric motor, the pump creates the high water velocity that gives pressure washers their remarkable cleaning power.

Properly maintaining and repairing your pressure washer pump will maximize its working life and help you reduce replacement costs.

The required maintenance and repair depends on the pump manufacturer and the type of pump. Below is a list of top industrial and commercial pressure washer pump manufacturers and some of the types of pumps they produce:

logo-bertoliniBertolini – For almost a century, Bertolini has designed, developed and manufactured piston pumps in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. Bertolini pumps are used in agriculture and pressure washers for both domestic and industrial applications, including fire-fighting systems


logo-catCat – Cat Pump is the leading designer and manufacturer of triplex piston and plunger pumps in the world. The triplex pump design produces a consistently smooth flow of water through the pressure washer. Cat pumps are used in car wash applications, pressure cleaning equipment and CO2 & foam firefighting equipment.
