1. How is Car Cube® different from most pressure washers?
  Car Cube® is portable – the water comes with you wherever you want to wash. No mains power cord is required. No garden hose is required. It is more water efficient using just 1.5L/ minute and less that 20L to wash an average vehicle.
2. What are people saying about Car Cube®
  Dirt bikes need cleaning like babies need feeding, but the current water restrictions mean that it’s often a feckless task to keep the ones you really love spotless.
The Car Cube delivers a cool solution to the problem by letting you take tank water out with you to a ride-site. Simplistic to use, it’s as easy as plug-in and go. The unit’s reservoir is just big enough to wash a bike completely and the pressure forceful enough to penetrate thick lumps of earth. Also, as the dirt is still fresh, it comes off so much easier than after the bike’s home, cooled and the muck has hardened. It’s the quickest, easiest and cheapest solution I’ve seen.

- Martin Child, deputy editor, Australasian Dirt Bike magazine (ADB).
  Car Cube’s the ultimate portable pressure washer for cleaning cars. It’s compact and convenient. It has good pressure and gives you all the benefits of a hose wash using less than 2 buckets of water. All you need is a 12V outlet and you can wash down wherever you are.

- Colin Osborne, Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS).
3. Can I add detergent to the tank?
  No. Car Cube® has not been designed to pump water with detergent.
4. Can you use Car Cube® with water restrictions?
 

Car Cube can be used with tank, recycled, bore and river water everywhere. Tap water too if your regulations allow it. Water authorities in capital cities around Australia advise that people can wash a car with tank water from rain fall. Every authority we spoke to said your tank water can be used however you want to use it. We recommend you wash a car with Car Cube® becasue it's so much more efficient than a hose wash. A typical hose wash will use 18 buckets or more. An average bucket wash takes between 4-11 buckets. Car Cube only uses 2

5. Can you use grey water?
  It is possible to use clean grey/white water from the shower or taps e.g. before the water heats up. This water does not contain soap residue or human bacteria which can be harmful when aerosolised. Car Cube has not been designed to pump detergent and soapy water may create foam which could damage the pumping mechanism. Do not use grey water from the washing machine as it contains powerful compounds that might damage duco.
6. Can you use 240V?
  To use 240 volts you will need a separate device such as a step-down transformer or jump starter. The device will require input of 240V and on the output side be capable of delivering a minimum of 5-6 amps at 12V DC continuous. The 12V out put must be DC and suitably rectified.
7. Can you close the car door on the cord?
  Yes, after you plug Car Cube into your accessory port you close the door on the cord. Car Cube has a heavy-gauge, flat profile, figure 8 cable. The door seal (usually a rubber trim) easily moulds around it. The cable has a tough PVC sheath that resists cuts and abrasions.
8. How much water does Car Cube® use?
  Car Cube® takes 13L of clean water. If you use ½ a bucket of suds you can wash an average car in less than 20L.
9. How much water does Car Cube®  save when washing an average car?
  An average bucket wash uses 40-100L (4-11 buckets). The best commercial car washes use about 50L. A high pressure washer uses 36-80L and a hose using tank water will use 180L or more. You save anywhere from 20 to 200L per wash - a massive saving.
10. What is its size?
  Approximately 42cm long x 25cm wide x 35cm high – a small esky.
11. How much pressure does it have?
  Car Cube® has a beefy 130 psi pressure. Enough to clean, but won’t damage duco or penetrate seals and gaskets.
12. Will it drain my battery?
  Car Cube® uses 4 to 5 amps. 10 minutes or so of Car Cube® use should not affect a battery in reasonable condition.
13. What does it weigh when filled?
  Car Cube®  weighs 18kgs when filled – just a decent sized tool box.
14. Is it only good for my car?
  Car Cube® can be used wherever you require a portable water source. Great for boats, mountain bikes, dirt bikes, camping, water sport equipment, around the house and more. Remember to always check local water restrictions. Protect our planet only use as much water as you need and always wash on the grass.
