- Why are your prices somewhat higher than models with the same pressure/flow ratings and horsepower that I see in home centers, retail stores, discount stores, tool outlets and catalogs?
SCS only manufacturers top quality industrial/commercial pressure washers that are designed for heavy-duty use, maximum reliability, durability and long life. Pressure washers from sources mentioned above are generally built for lowest possible price and are suitable only for lighter duty applications and intermittent use due to lower quality levels.
- Can SCS pressure washers be used for phosphatizing?
All SCS hot pressure washers are superior phosphatizing systems when equipped with the available optional phosphatizing system accessories.
- How can I be sure that I can get replacement parts, if needed?
SCS has been in business for 31 years and
guarantees immediate availability of replacement parts for a minimum
of ten (10) years from date of manufacture.
- I have an unusual application and I
dont believe that any of your standard models will meet the need. What can I
do?

- How long will it take to get an SCS pressure
washer?
Most popular models are in
factory stock for immediate shipment. However, lead times can vary with the
timing of the order. During busy times smaller models can take about one week
and larger models two weeks or more.
- What accessories are available for SCS washers?
There is a wide range of special purpose accessories
available. For information on non-listed accessories, contact SCS Customer Service Department.
- If I get a cold water high-pressure washer,
can I later add heating capability and upgrade to a hot high-pressure washer?
An SCS heater module can be used with any SCS cold
high-pressure washer. The outlet of the pressure washer is connected to the inlet of the
heater. The pressure washer hose and gun is connected to the outlet of the heater. The
heater starts and stops automatically with the trigger gun activation to heat the water to
final temperatures ranging from 160Ί F to 300Ί F.
- Do SCS washers have detergent chemical injection systems? How do they
work?
All SCS cold water washers are standard
equipped with chemical downstream injectors which allow the chemical to be applied with a
soft low pressure spray and removed with high pressure clear water. All SCS hot
washers/steam cleaners are standard equipped with upstream injection which allows the
chemical to be applied with high-pressure washer. There are many alternatives available for
non-standard applications. For more information contact SCS Customer Service Department at
336.996.5585.
- What spare parts should I
keep on hand for SCS washers?
For most applications
in the USA it is not necessary to keep spare parts. All parts and components in SCS washers
are American standard and are either available locally or from SCS factory stock. SCS
guarantees immediate availability of spare parts in factory stock for a minimum of
ten (10) years from date of manufacture. Parts can be shipped overnight to any U.S. airport
location.
