Roof Cleaning machines consist of:

• A petrol driven motor which directly drives the machines water pump or an electric motor
• Special high pressure cleaning hoses are used
• A trigger style high pressure cleaning gun

The same way a garden hose nozzle is used to increase the water velocity out the hose pipe, a high pressure cleaner adds its own power to create high velocity. The pump can only draw as much water from the pipe as the source will allow, so it you have low water pressure at your home, the high pressure cleaner will not be able to work at full velocity. Water starvation for a high pressure cleaner can lead to cavitation damage. This will damage the pump elements.
