From Brintons website:
"Fish: do not allow any run-off into fish-tanks or ponds, or contact with any aquatic life."

I think there is a considerable difference between run-off going into a fish tank, and going into the Atlantic.

I don't think there are many in here that sail in fish tanks or ponds. I've already got quite a few square metres of stuff that is hopefully attacking the aquatic life on the bottom of my boat already...

I have 2 Karchers, one petrol driven around £600 and a small mains one which cost around £50. Problem with the small one when hull cleaning is the low water flow, it takes for ever. You need to look at litres per minute, not just pressure.

Can't remember the spec for the petrol driven one, it's at home and about 20 years old - cost a lot less then than a Karcher replacement would now. The small one I've been using for deck washing this morning is a Karcher K090, pumps miserly 5.5l/min. Will clean hulls but very slow compared to petrol one.

Im guessing i got a decent bargain on mine then

My petrol driven is great, will accept salt water to clean the hull [ in places with no fresh water hose or electricity] but needs a flush through with fresh water and drying out before putting it away.

ooof risky business running it on sea water... mind i guess if you flush her through, it eases the conscience
