The Alkota 2161 is a stationary electric-motor hot water pressure washer rated at 2.1 GPM and 1600 PSI. A 2.3 HP, 115V, 1-phase motor drives the pump and calls for a 20 amp supply. The burner runs on LP or natural gas and is rated at 235,000 BTU. It measures 56 x 27 x 55 in (L x W x H) and weighs 600 lbs.
The Gas Fired Series is Alkota’s stationary, cabinet-style hot water line. An electric motor drives a belt-driven triplex pump and a natural gas or LP burner heats the water to 180-200 °F. The 2161 is meant to be installed in one place and plumbed to remote wash stations by pipe or hose, which keeps the machine out of the wash area.
