What Are the Different Pressure Washer Attachments?

There are several types of pressure washer attachments available on the market, which can be connected to a pressure washer for use during specific tasks.

Different pressure washer attachments and accessories are the perfect addition for various jobs around the home and garden.

Hose Free Pressure Washers

If you prefer a pressure washer without a hose attachment, some models on the market allow the user to extract water from alternative water areas such as ponds, rivers, water butts, paddling pools and buckets.  All of Ryobi’s current range of pressure waters can be fed from such containers of water.  A small length of hose is still required for input, but it doesn't need to connect to a tap.

In these instances, it is always advised to use a filter on the end of the hose to stop small debris from being sucked into the pressure washer and causing damage.

Cleaning Patios with Pressure Washers

You can safely clean your patio with a pressure washer, which has a suitable specification for the job. Using a pressure washer attachment specifically for patio cleaning will make the job easier too.

A medium to high-powered pressure washer would be suitable for cleaning patios, such as the Ryobi RY130PWA 130BAR Electric Pressure Washer. Suitable for heavier duty jobs such as ground in dirt on patios, the RY130PWA has an on demand detergent function and target spray wand, as well as being compact with wheels for easy manoeuvrability.

Using a compatible patio cleaning brush is an ideal pressure washing attachment for cleaning decking, conservatory roofs and any other flat surfaces to speed up our cleaning.

Choosing the Right Pressure Washer Attachments

Deciding which pressure washer attachment you need for the job will depend completely on the applications you wish to complete. 

You can purchase a pressure washer with all the basic and most common accessories required for common DIY tasks around the home and garden from Ryobi to get you started,

If you wish to add additional accessories on, you can add various accessories as you go.  Unfortunately, not all pressure washer accessories are universal. Meaning, each brand of pressure washer tends to use proprietary connectors for their pressure washer and accessories. 

All of the accessories in the Ryobi range are fully compatible with the current range of Ryobi pressure washers.  Ryobi also produces a Karcher adaptor (RAC780) to allow users to fit Karcher accessories to their Ryobi pressure washers.

Knowing where to buy different attachments and parts for a pressure washer will vary from brand to brand.  For all Ryobi pressure washers, you can purchase common parts such as seals, attachments and hoses/lances online.

For all other spares, please contact Ryobi Customer Services.
