Kranzle K1622TS Pressure Washer

Description

I started the search for a wall-mountable pressure washing solution years ago when I built the wash bay at my house. I headed down a rabbit hole that kept leading me down dead ends. Too much noise, not enough flow, fit/finish/quality concerns, are all issues I encountered. That is the reason I ended up deciding to take a gamble on the Kranzle K165STS that I had in my wash bay. 

It certainly is great at 2800PSI and 2.8 GPM and looks absolutely fantastic. The cons: it's loud, cycles for 30 seconds before turning off, and weighs 180lbs. Oh...another small issue...it was $4500 and they no longer make it!

What I really wanted for all of us is a small, compact pump that I could put on a shelf that looks and works like the Kranzle K1122TST. That is the main component of my Obsessed Garage Complete Pressure Washing Solution.

There are significant advantages to having that cart model, but what if you wanted to mount it on the wall with permanent plumbing, and a hose reel?

After the massive success I had with the Kranzle K1122 package and my need for another wall-mounted solution for OGHQ, I decided to design a less costly, more efficient wall-mounted solution. I bought a K1622 (non-TS version) that was currently available. It is a 1600 PSI, 1.7GPM pump...but...it ran continuously.

It didn’t have the "Total Stop" function the K1122TST has. It just wasn't good enough for our application. Although the pump can run for hours in bypass mode, I think we want the pressure switch that would make this pump function better for car washing. 

At the time, the K1622 did not have a total stop feature but now this K1622TS model comes with total stop!

If you want something with more pressure, a stock OE sprayer, and a wand, but less flow, this machine is a winner. And it will still beat the pants off of most pressure washers available at a similar or lower price.
