DESCRIPTION
3,500 PSI 8.5 GPM Gas Belt Drive Hot Water Pressure Washer
Grease, oil, and heavy road soil do not come off with cold water and patience. The BE HWS3524HSBAS is built for operators who clean for a living, including mobile pressure washing contractors and fleet wash crews who need heated cleaning power that travels to the job. It delivers 3,500 PSI at 8.5 GPM with water temperatures up to 93°C (199°F), all on a slimline stainless steel skid frame with built-in truck mount brackets, ready to bolt down to a truck or trailer.
Honda Power and a Triplex Pump
The HWS3524HSBAS runs on a 688 cc Honda GX690 gas engine with electric start, supported by an 80 AH AGM deep-cycle battery, so the first start of the day is as routine as the last. A belt drive system connects the engine to a CP CTB2S triplex pump with an external unloader, a pump and drive combination chosen for durability in demanding commercial use. Engine and pump oil drain hoses make routine oil changes cleaner and simpler, which matters when the machine is mounted on a truck deck and logging hours every week.
Diesel-Fired Heat with a 168' Coil
Hot water is what turns a pressure washer into a degreasing tool. The diesel-fired 12 V Beckett burner is rated at 315,000 BTU and heats water through a 168' x ½" schedule 80 cold-rolled steel coil with a stainless steel wrap. The burner draws from a 14.4 gal (54.5 L) poly fuel tank with an inline fuel filter to help keep fuel clean. An adjustable thermostat lets the operator set the water temperature for the surface and the soil, and a rocker burner switch turns the burner on or off as the job requires.
The result is consistent hot water output for the work that cold water struggles with: greasy equipment, oily shop floors, heavy fleet grime, and the buildup that collects on trucks, trailers, and machinery between washes.
Controls, Monitoring, and Operator Safety
A unit that works this hard needs to protect itself and the person running it. The HWS3524HSBAS is equipped with a flow switch, high limit switch, pressure switch, thermal relief valve, pressure relief valve, and rupture disk. A pressure gauge shows system pressure at a glance, while the hour meter and tachometer help operators and fleet managers track run time and plan service intervals.
Built for the Truck or Trailer
The slimline stainless steel skid frame keeps the footprint compact for mobile setups, with built-in truck mount brackets for bolt-down installation. Frame-mounted QC nozzle grommets keep nozzles organized and within reach. The unit measures 47" x 27" x 41" (L x W x H) and weighs 950 lb (430.9 kg), so plan your mounting location and vehicle capacity accordingly.

Every HWS3524HSBAS ships with the essentials to start cleaning:
- 50' x ⅜" QC rubber hose with double wire braid

Frequently Asked Questions about Pressure Washers
How to store a pressure washer?
To ensure the durability of your heavy duty pressure washer:
- Empty the gas tank to prevent fuel from degrading or clogging the engine.
- Empty the pump and hoses of any remaining water.
- Perform necessary maintenance before storage.
- Store in a dry area.
- Cover.
What is a pressure washer?
A power washer is a cleaning machine that uses a gasoline engine to power a high pressure water pump and nozzle. It’s used to clean driveways, decks, vehicles, outdoor furniture and more by spraying water at high PSI to remove dirt, grime, mold and other debris.Many models also come with a detergent tank for added cleaning power.
How does a power washer work?
A power washer works by drawing water from a connected hose and pumping it through a high pressure nozzle. The gas engine powers the pump which pressurizes the water and then expels it through the nozzle at high speed to clean the surface. The water pressure is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch) and the flow rate is measured in GPM (gallons per minute).Many models also feature adjustable water pressure settings to cater to different cleaning needs. BE makes pressure washing easy with models available for light jobs and heavy duty commercial cleaning projects.
Gas vs Electric power washers?
The main difference is that a gas pressure washer, known for its cleaning power, is powered by a gasoline engine, making it more powerful and portable, while an electric pressure washer is powered by electricity and is generally quieter and lighter.
Gas pressure washers are for heavy duty and large areas due to their durability, whereas electric pressure washers are for smaller jobs.
Your BE electric pressure washer is perfect for smaller jobs and built for portability, and we offer a wide range of electric models. Included with our electric models is a long extension cord for use anywhere around your house.
What to consider?
When choosing a gas pressure washer consider:
- Pressure (PSI): More PSI means more cleaning power but also more potential for damaging delicate surfaces.
- Flow Rate (GPM): More GPM means faster cleaning as more water is dispensed.
- Engine Power: Bigger engines mean more durability and power.
- Portability: Weight, handle design and wheel size for easier to move.
- Nozzles: Multiple spray nozzles to adjust the spray pattern for different tasks.
- Adjustable Nozzle: Allows for fine-tuning the spray intensity and pattern for various cleaning needs.
How much pressure do I need for?
The required pressure (PSI) and cleaning power depend on the surface you’re cleaning:
- Light duty (car washing, outdoor furniture): 1,300-1,800 PSI.
- Medium duty (patios, fences, decks): 2,000-3,000 PSI.
- Heavy duty (driveways, brick walls, large equipment): 3,000+ PSI.
Many pressure washers come with adjustable pressure settings to handle different cleaning tasks effectively.
Can a pressure washing damage surfaces?
Yes, a power washer can damage surfaces if used incorrectly. High pressure water can strip paint, dent soft surfaces or even cause structural damage if the pressure is too high or the nozzle is held too close to the surface. Always use the right PSI for the material you’re cleaning and keep a safe distance from delicate surfaces.
To prevent damage, consider using a model with adjustable pressure settings.
How to maintain your pressure washer?
To ensure the durability and smooth operation of a pressure washer:
- Change the oil as per manufacturer’s instructions.
- Clean or replace the air filter to ensure good airflow.
- Inspect and clean the nozzle regularly to prevent clogs.
- Drain the gas tank if you’re storing the washer for a long time.
- Check the hoses for leaks or damage and replace them if needed.
- Follow regular maintenance requirements to keep the washer in optimal condition.
Can I use a pressure washer in cold weather and low water temperature?
You can use a pressure washer in cold weather but it’s more difficult. The water flow rate in the hoses and pump can freeze and damage the equipment. If you plan to use your pressure washer in cold temperatures make sure to winterize it and store it in a warm area when not in use. You can also use anti-freeze solutions for pressure washers.
Some models are designed to use hot water, which can be particularly effective for cleaning in cold weather.
Do I need any accessories?
Common accessories for power washers:
- Different nozzles (0°, 15°, 25°, 40°, and soap nozzle) to adjust spray patterns.
- Extension wands for hard to reach areas.
- Surface cleaners for large flat areas like driveways and decks.
- Hose reels to store hoses neatly and prevent tangling.
- Foam cannon or detergent bottles for soap or cleaning solutions.
- Detergents for cleaning a wide variety of surfaces.
