The second version of the Active 2.3 is now available for pre-order to ship from TCG the first week of September.
Please make sure you review the updates to this unit before purchase. The 2.3 is now sold as a "bare unit" with no hose or wand, the previous "outer cage" has also been removed and replaced with top handle.
The unit does still include properly sized 4.5 orifice rinse nozzles and a 1.45mm orifice for your foam cannon.
The next evolution of pro-sumer pressure washers with specs built specifically for car washing is here from Active and available at The Clean Garage
Please note: The ACTIVE 2.3 is currently only available as listed here as a bare unit with no accesories and no longer has an outer cage.

The Active 2.3 is an extension of our research in product development of the Active 2.0 and is built for the professional consumer. Continuous product testing and seeking means to improve our product offering through consumer feedback gave us the big breakthrough in developing a cohesive solution that the market needs, in terms of both the product design and performance.
The 2.3 comes equipped with an updated brass endplate 5-Piston Pro Pump and a 128 Induction motor, which gives you 2.3 GPM at 1100 PSI. The combined operating output of 2,500 cleaning units will make any cleaning task a breeze. Seriously this machine packs a punch!
Active includes these 2 accessories with the unit to make sure you have the proper amp draw:
- 1.45mm nozzle for after market foam cannons to maintain current draw under 15A.
- 4 rinse nozzles (0,15,25,40)(4.5 orifice size).
Piecing your own detailing package together? Here is what The Clean Garage Suggests:
- Rinse Nozzles:
- Optimal Choice: 4.5 Orifice
- Active includes a set of 4.5 orifice nozzles with the unit, if you are buying aftermarket nozzles a 4.5 is the best option
- For Slightly Lower PSI: 5.0 Orifice
- Foam Cannon:
- Hose:
- For an upgraded hose we suggest one of our 50' or 75' Kobrajet Hoses available in Black, Gray and Blue
- You CAN run a 100' hose but may lose some pressure and it will work the pump harder
- We suggest ordering one of our hoses with Quick Connect Couplers on both sides combined with the pump outlet adapter with plug listed below.
- Quick Connects and Fitting Sizes:
- If you want to convert your inlet to quick connects you will need a Garden Hose QC Plug 24.5002 and Garden Hose QC Coupler 24.0631 . If you want both ends of your inlet hose to quick connect you will need 2 of each.
- Pump Inlet: The unit comes with a standard 3/4" GHT Female adapter installed, so a standard garden hose will connect to it without any other parts needed.
- Pump Outlet: This unit has the most common size pump outlet M22 14MM Male
- To adapt this to a 3/8" Plug you will need part number 24.5014 (For aftermarket hoses with a 3/8" coupler)
- To adapt this to a 3/8" Coupler you will need part number 24.0448 (For aftermarket hoses with a 3/8" plug)

Electric Requirements:
The Active 2.3 is designed to run on a 15A circuit rated at 120V/60Hz. We discourage the use of extension cords, but if one must be used, we recommend using an extension cord not longer than 50’ and it must be rated for 14 AWG. When using foam cannons, we'll be providing a 1.45mm nozzle with the 2.3 so users can work with their after market foam cannons while maintaining current draw under 15A.
Info For Mobile Detailer Setups:
- Industry standard states your pump must be gravity fed when being fed from a water tank
- The tank should be AT LEAST 12" above the pump
- The tank should be as close to the pump as possible
- The inlet hose diameter should be doubled in size when gravity feeding (1.5")
- These are just guidelines to help you with your custom setup. You will need to make sure you have the minimum required inlet pressure and flow which is 40 PSI and 4.8 GPM to ensure the washer operates as intended.
- Generator Requirements:
- To properly power a commercial pressure washer long term we suggest using the following formula when determining your generator wattage:
- AMPS X VOLTS X 3 - So for this unit using the suggested accessories above you need AT LEAST 5040 RUNNING watts
