Subject | SORE Delay for pressure washers |
Comment | Dear CARB, Thank you for giving us a platform to express our concerns. I've been in the pressure washer industry for 30-years, first building them then repairing them, teaching our dealer network how to repair them and now I sell them to our dealers in the NW territory. While most pressure washers we manufacture are between 5-horsepower and somewhere under 25-horsepower, I don't believe our industry will have a feasible non-emission alternative before January 2024. These pressure washers (both hot and cold water) are used in many industries throughout my territory (including Northern California) for many applications. Some of the more notable uses which CARB and the state of California should take interest in are: Invasive species (quagga / zebra muscle) decontamination to keep our waterways clean and invasive species free / Clean-up and sanitizing of dismantled homeless camps / Graffiti removal / Cleaning of equipment at farms and dairies to prevent cross-contamination / Environmental clean-up such as the efforts right now at Huntington Beach / General cleaning and sanitation of outdoor areas / Washing of solar panels to optimize output. While these are just a few uses for pressure washers, I'm glad to have a chance to voice my thoughts. Thank you, Greg Cross, Nilfisk HPW |
