Product Information
Full details
The Bosch Fontus 18V is an ideal solution for homeowners and gardeners who need a portable, convenient way to clean outdoor surfaces without being tethered to a mains power supply or water hose. It features a 15-liter integrated water tank and a 20-bar pressure output, making it perfect for light-duty tasks like cleaning bicycles, garden furniture, or muddy boots. While highly versatile and mobile, the unit's 20-bar pressure is designed for general cleaning rather than heavy-duty moss removal or deep concrete restoration.

FAQs
Can I connect the Bosch Fontus to a garden tap?
Yes, you can connect the unit to a garden tap for continuous water flow if needed, though the 15 L tank allows for independent use.
How long does the battery last?
Runtime depends on the pressure setting and frequency of use, typically providing enough power for multiple light-duty cleaning tasks on one charge.
Can I use soap or detergents with this washer?
Check your specific model manual, but generally, only use cleaning agents approved for use with pressure washers to avoid damaging the pump.
Is the unit waterproof?
The Fontus is designed for outdoor use and water exposure during cleaning, but it should never be submerged in water.
What is the warranty period?
Warranty terms vary by region; please consult your local Bosch documentation or retailer for specific coverage details.

Low water pressure
