4 types of spray available
When designing this accessory, one of the challenges was to be able to offer a choice of spray patterns to suit different cleaning requirements. All this whilst using as little water as possible to ensure an adequate operating time.
You can choose between:
-wide shower spray (for quickly cleaning/rinsing large areas)
-narrow shower spray (for targeting a specific area)
-flat or round concentrated spray (for scrubbing off dried mud/dirt from under shoes, bike drivetrains, wheels, etc.)
The strengths of this portable washer
No need to worry about charging a battery or plugging a cable into the vehicle: a manual pumping brings the tank pressure up to 1.5 bar. This pumping action remains stable and effective thanks to the various types of support (footwell and handrests).
The transparent viewing window allows you to check the maximum water level at a glance.
Once you’ve finished, the spray gun and hose can be stowed directly inside the chassis to take up as little space as possible.
A robust accessory, built to last
This portable washer is designed to be carried in a boot, to withstand knocks and to contain pressurised water. As such, we decided to manufacture it from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for several reasons:
-this thermoplastic material absorbs impacts without cracking or breaking
-HDPE can withstand repeated pressurisation and minor deformation cycles without structural damage to the tank
-this material is pressure-resistant

How do you fill the portable washer?
Before leaving home:
1/ Make sure the spray gun is locked and closed
2/ Unscrew the pump using the handle
3/ Fill the tank with water from the tap, using a garden hose or any other source. The tank holds 10 litres of water (the maximum level is visible through the transparent window)
4/ Screw the handle back on and turn it a quarter turn to lock it in place
5/ Carry the washer using the handle
What are the steps for using the portable cleaner?
1/Check that the gun is locked
2/To pressurise:
- Hold the handle in one hand, place your other hand on the top surface for support, and place your foot in the footwell for stability
- Pump until you hear the valve make a ‘psh’ sound, which indicates that maximum pressure has been reached. There may be some splashing
3/ Unclip the spray gun and remove it from its holder
4/ Use the spray gun’s control to start the water flow and adjust the pressure and spray pattern to suit your needs.
Extra details to bear in mind
If the portable washer is full of water and is left in direct sunlight in the boot of a car, the pressure will rise as the temperature increases. To prevent this excess pressure, simply pull on the string with the orange tip so that the air escapes and the pressure drops.
The small red tool shown in the photos is used to tighten or loosen the safety valve. It is also used to screw the water level window back on if necessary.
