The red nozzle provides the highest pressure for intense cleaning, the green nozzle provides medium pressure for all-purpose cleaning, the white nozzle provides even lower pressure for more delicate cleaning, and the black nozzle is for use with soaps and detergents.

Public Answer
The nozzles that come standard with the pressure washer all have different spray patterns and intensities. We recommend starting with the lowest pressure nozzle first and testing it in an area for results first. Nozzles that have a higher pressure or tighter spray pattern can easily cause damage to softer surfaces. The description for the nozzles that came with your pressure washer is in your owner’s manual. Owner’s manuals and other documentation can be downloaded from our Product Support Page using the unit’s serial number, or contact us for further assistance.
 
  • Blast Pressure Nozzle (Red) - Higher pressure and slower flow.  Best used for the following: higher and harder-to-reach spots (such as second levels), paint removal, oil stains, rust removal, and other stubborn substances (tar, gum, grease, wax, etc.)                                     
  • Clean Pressure Nozzle (Green) - Medium pressure and medium flow.  Good for most all-purpose cleanings (home siding, brick patios, wood decks, driveways, sideways, garage floors, etc.)
  • Wash Pressure Nozzle (White) - Lower pressure and higher flow.  Good for delicate applications and gentle cleanings of boats, RVs, patio furniture, lawn equipment, etc.
  • Detergent Nozzle (Black) - Use this nozzle with pressure washer detergents/soaps only.  This nozzle helps to break down stubborn dirt and grime on a variety of surfaces.
