Practical steps to prevent freezing, damage, and downtime in cold conditions.
When temperatures drop, your pressure washing equipment can face serious challenges, from frozen hoses and split pipes to costly downtime. But with the right preparation, you can keep your static system running efficiently all winter long.
At Rhinowash, we’ve spent over 50 years designing and engineering pressure washers that are built to handle the harshest environments. Here’s our expert guide to keeping your system frost-free and operational through the coldest months.
1. Understand the Risks of Cold Weather
When water freezes inside a pressure washer, it expands which can crack pipes, damage seals, and cause major internal faults. Even a single hard frost can lead to thousands of pounds in repair costs or replacement parts. Protecting your system isn’t just about performance, it’s about preventing avoidable downtime.
2. Drain and Isolate When Not in Use
If your static pressure washer isn’t being used daily, it’s vital to:
Drain the system completely to prevent standing water from freezing.
Disconnect hoses and lances and store them in a dry, frost-free location.
Isolate power and water supplies to ensure the system is safely shut down.
Even a small amount of trapped water can cause damage overnight, so don’t leave it to chance.
3. Built-In Arctic Frost Protection
Unlike standard static pressure washers, every Rhinowash system comes with our integrated Arctic Frost Protection as standard. This advanced feature automatically keeps water moving and key components at a controlled temperature, preventing freezing even in sub-zero conditions.
It’s what allows Rhinowash machines to keep working when others stop, ensuring your operations stay up and running - whatever the weather.
Built to Beat the Freeze
Every Rhinowash machine is engineered for reliability, whatever the weather. Our static systems are designed with robust construction, modular design, and Arctic Frost Protection giving you complete confidence that your operation won’t stop when the temperature drops.
