The ACTIVE™ 3.0 is a high-performance electric pressure washer designed to deliver increased flow and pressure output compared to typical residential units. It is engineered for users who require stronger rinsing power, improved foam cannon performance, and more efficient cleaning.

Operating on a 120V / 20-amp circuit, this unit is capable of achieving performance levels that approach entry-level professional machines while maintaining the convenience of an electric platform.

Performance

Max Output: ~1000 PSI (working pressure with accessories)
Flow Rate: ~3.0+ GPM (optimized setup)
Significantly higher water flow compared to standard consumer electric pressure washers
Improved rinsing efficiency and foam cannon performance

Motor & Electrical

Runs on 110–120V power
Requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit for optimal performance
Designed to maximize output within standard North American residential power limits

Pump System

High-performance pump engineered for increased flow rate
Built with serviceability in mind
Designed for durability and consistent output under extended use

Noise & Operation

Engineered for relatively quiet operation compared to gas-powered units
Suitable for residential environments where noise is a concern (75 db)

Key Advantages

Higher GPM than most electric units in its class
Strong balance of pressure and flow
Electric convenience with near prosumer-level output
Serviceable components for longer lifespan
Automotive detailing (high flow = better rinsing + foam performance)
Enthusiasts and prosumers
Users upgrading from entry-level electric pressure washers

The Active 3.0 is designed to run on a 20A circuit and comes with a plug required to plug into a dedicated 20A circuit rated at 120V/60Hz. We discourage the use of extension cords, but if one must be used, we recommend using an extension cord not longer than 50’ and it must be rated for 12AWG. When using foam cannons, we'll be providing a 1.65 mm nozzle with the 3.0, so users can work with their aftermarket foam cannons while maintaining the current draw under 18A.

The pressure washer inlet size is ¾” with 11.5 TPI threads (this is the standard North American Garden Hose connector size). The outlet of the pressure washer is M22-14mm. When it comes to using accessories or quick connections, ensure the spec matches the pump requirements.

The Active 3.0 comes with a 6.3 orifice size. This is done to ensure the machine outputs the best balance of pressure and flow under 18A current draw. If you are to change the nozzles for varying applications, we recommend the use of nozzles between 6.3 to 7.0.

The recommended foam cannon orifice size is a 1.65mm orifice to ensure the current draw is under 18A during normal foaming operations. We'll be providing a 1.65mm nozzle with the 3.0, so users can work with their aftermarket foam cannons while maintaining current draw below 18A.

The Active 3.0 requires user care and maintenance for prolonged use. When receiving the unit, please ensure to swap the shipping plug with the ventilation cap. Ensure you use 85W-90 oil. The oil change needs to be done after 25 hours of use and every 100 hours or 6 months thereafter (whichever comes first).
