Echo PW-3100

If you've spent a Pacific Northwest winter watching moss and algae take over your deck, siding, and driveway, the Echo PW-3100 is built to take it all back. At 3,100 PSI and 2.5 GPM, it strips off the green film and grime that our wet climate leaves behind — the stuff a garden hose just smears around.

The PW-3100 runs a 212cc 4-stroke engine, so there's no mixing oil and gas like the old two-strokes. That 3,100 PSI is enough to clear years of moss off a north-facing deck, blast mud out of equipment after a muddy job, and bring a stained concrete driveway back to life. Four spray tips let you dial the spray from a fan-wide rinse for siding down to a tight jet for stubborn spots.

Echo put a two-stage air filtration system on this unit, which matters more than it sounds — cleaner air means longer stretches between maintenance and a longer engine life. The axial cam pump makes for easy starts, and the heavy-duty steel frame and flat-free tires hold up to being dragged around a working property. When you do need a part or a nozzle down the road, Echo's dealer network keeps them available, and we stock what you need right here in Astoria.

The 25-foot braided hose reaches most of what you need without repositioning the machine, and the quick-connect couplers get you spraying in a minute or two. There's an on-board detergent tank for when soap does the heavy lifting instead of raw pressure, plus storage for the nozzles, hose, and wand. The reversible handle folds it down to fit in a tight corner of the shop or garage.
