I have just bought my husband a Karcher K4 complete control pressure

saw it!

I got the K4 because I thought it was the better one - reading
reviews. Now OH tells me it cannot be used on a mains supply because
it is too powerful. Is this true?

I didnt get it to use on a ruddy water butt. I intended it to link
into the outside tap where we currently have the hosepipes connected.

Why do none of the review sites or even the information about the K$
state it cannot be used on domestic supplies? OH read it in the
instructions ( yes it does say " cannot be used on the water net") .
So, can it be used or not?


He's talking rubbish. All pressure washers will work off mains
supplies.

Just checked, I have a K4. Apart from being a piece of overpriced crap
which is far inferior to the old Karcher of 20 years ago, it works from
mains.
