Alkota UK — Attachments & Accessories

What do you need
the machine
to do?

Alkota machines perform at a higher level when paired with the right attachment. Start with the cleaning task — not the component.

Matched to Your Machine

Every attachment shows verified compatibility against Alkota machine ratings — not generic "fits all" claims.

Technically Honest

Incompatible configurations are explained — not hidden. Pressure, flow, and temperature limits are clearly stated.

Application-Led Discovery

Start with what you need the machine to do. Let the cleaning task lead you to the right attachment — not the other way around.

Compatibility

Which machines
work with which
attachments?

Attachment compatibility depends on working pressure, flow rate, temperature rating, and connection standard. This matrix shows a snapshot of verified matches across our main machine families.

System Thinking

An attachment is only
as capable as the
machine behind it.

Matching a 24-inch surface cleaner to an under-specified cold machine produces disappointing results. The shroud needs sufficient flow to spin the arm — not just sufficient pressure to reach the nozzle.

Alkota UK publishes minimum flow and pressure requirements for every attachment. If your machine does not meet the threshold, we will tell you — and discuss what a more capable machine would enable.

Insufficient Flow

A surface cleaner arm that does not spin consistently leaves streak patterns and dramatically increases cleaning time. This is always a flow (LPM) issue — not a pressure (BAR) issue.

Undersized Drain Jetter

A drain jetter hose used below its minimum working pressure will not self-propel reliably. The rear jets provide the thrust — insufficient pressure means the hose will not advance into the drain.

How We Handle It

Each attachment detail page shows the minimum machine rating required. If your machine falls below, we flag it — and explain why. There are no hidden incompatibilities on Alkota UK.

Hose & Spray Systems

Get the water where
it needs to go.

Hoses, reels, and spray patterns are often treated as commodity items. They are not. The wrong hose length increases pressure drop. The wrong nozzle orifice changes your working pressure. The wrong reel prevents safe large-area operation. We stock the right components, correctly specified for the Alkota range.

Nozzle Sizing

Nozzle orifice size directly determines your working pressure at a given flow. Using an oversized orifice drops pressure; an undersized orifice increases pressure beyond machine rating. Alkota UK provides orifice selection guidance for each machine.

Formula

Pressure ∝ Flow² / Orifice Area

Doubling the flow quadruples the pressure impact on a fixed orifice. Always verify against machine specification.

Foam & Chemistry

Chemistry becomes effective when it makes full contact.

Foam lances slow the runoff rate of detergent — maximising dwell time against contaminated surfaces before the high-pressure rinse. They are not optional extras. They are part of a correctly configured two-stage wash process.

Alkota foam lance systems are verified compatible with the Hydrus chemical range — dilution ratio, detergent chemistry, and foam generation rate confirmed.

Drain & Pipe Cleaning

Your machine
is already a drain
jetter.

Most commercial Alkota pressure washers produce sufficient pressure to self-propel a drain jetter hose into blocked commercial drains and yard gullies. A 25-metre drain jetter hose converts your existing machine into a commercial drain-maintenance tool.

Minimum requirement: 120 BAR at 8+ LPM. Most hot water Alkota machines exceed this. Always verify against your machine specification sheet before purchase.

Effluent Compliance

Water recovery
is no longer optional
on most commercial sites.

The Environment Agency requires wash water capture and appropriate disposal on many commercial wash bay installations. Surface recovery attachments capture and contain water at point of origin — before it reaches gullies, drains, or surface water courses.

Alkota UK water recovery surface cleaners integrate with compatible vacuum recovery systems and closed-loop wash water recycling equipment from the Alkota Water Treatment range.

Regulatory Context (UK)

Environment Agency

Wash water from vehicle washing must not enter surface water drains — Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016.

Water Industry Act 1991

Discharge to foul sewer requires trade effluent consent from the water company.

Local Authority

Planning conditions on commercial wash bays often mandate wash water capture.

Not Finding It?

Can't find the
right setup?

Not every configuration is in the catalogue. If you have a specialist application, a non-standard machine, or a requirement that needs a custom attachment specification — contact us.
