The Basics

What is a soft wash system?

Soft washing cleans delicate exterior surfaces — roofs, cladding, render, plaster, fences and painted surfaces — at low pressure, letting the cleaning solution do the work instead of blasting them with high-pressure water.

The heart of a proper soft wash system is being able to apply a higher-strength cleaning solution at low pressure. You can "soft wash" with a pressure washer by drawing chemical through a downstream injector — but that dilutes it, so you're applying a weaker mix. A dedicated soft wash system pumps your pre-mixed batch straight from the tank at low pressure, so you apply it at the strength the job actually needs. Add a blend manifold and you can adjust that strength on the fly — dialling in stock chemical and water together at the turn of a dial, rather than pre-mixing a batch.

A soft wash system is the equipment that makes that possible: a low-pressure, high-volume pump (often 12V) fed from a batch tank, the tank and mixing to hold your solution, and a hose reel, lance and nozzles to apply it safely and evenly. Get it right and you clean faster and safer; get it wrong and you waste product or burn out gear that was never rated for the job. That's the whole reason Softwash Source exists — to supply the correct soft wash equipment, and the advice to match it to the work you actually do.

What's In a Setup

The parts of a soft wash setup.

Pumps & power

12V soft wash pumps for applying your batch at full strength, diaphragm pumps driven by Honda or other engines when you need more flow, and pressure pumps for pressure washing — the heart of any system.

Tanks, mixing & blend manifolds

Poly tanks and mixing to hold your solution — batch-mix it, or fit a blend manifold to dial in strength on the fly at the turn of a dial.

Downstream injectors

Draw chemical through a pressure washer's high-pressure line. The mix comes out at lower strength — but for a lot of jobs that's more than enough, and it's a simple, cost-effective way to soft wash.

Hose reels & hose

Hose reels and soft-wash hose built to handle the chemicals and stand up to daily use in the field.

Lances, guns & nozzles

Application lances, guns and the right nozzles for soft-wash coverage and rinsing — dialled in for your flow and pressure.

Fittings & spares

From O-rings and poly fittings to quick connects — the parts that keep you running instead of waiting.

FAQ

Soft wash equipment questions.

What's the difference between a soft wash system and a pressure washer?

A pressure washer delivers high pressure to blast hard surfaces like concrete and pavers. A soft wash system applies a higher-strength cleaning solution at low pressure and lets the chemical do the work, so it safely cleans delicate surfaces such as roofs, cladding and render. You can also "soft wash" with a pressure washer using a downstream injector, but that dilutes the mix — a dedicated system applies it at full strength. Many operators run both, and we supply equipment for each.

Can I buy soft wash equipment online in New Zealand?

Yes — order components and complete kits through our online store with nationwide delivery. For custom rigs, advice, or larger orders, contact us directly.

Do you build complete soft wash setups?

Yes — we build trailer-mounted and skid-mounted soft wash systems to your specification in Auckland, or you can build your own from our parts with our advice. Book a consultation to talk through your workload.
