NAPWO's webstore is located at www.pressurewashoutlet.com.  Each week, the team posts a question that has been posed to them by a customer.  This week's question relates to pressure washing equipment and the differences between belt drive and direct drive units.  

According to Tracy Handl at NAPWO, a direct drive may be less expensive for the beginning contractor a belt drive unit is a better choice for the pro contractor.  Since the pump is not directly hooked-up to the engine, a belt drive doesn't get the heat and vibration off the motor like a direct drive does and therefore it last longer.  Belt drive pumps also run at a slower RPMs and they will pull from a water tank better than a direct drive.  Overall a belt drive is a better investment IF the unit will be used for a long time.
