What Aqua Blast does

Aqua Blast Corporation, founded in 1962 and headquartered in Decatur, Indiana, manufactures custom, professional-grade pressure washing systems designed and built to individual customer specifications. Each system is developed from CAD drawings rather than adapted from a base model, with configurable power sources (electric, gasoline, diesel, liquid propane), water temperature options (cold or hot), and form factors (skid, mobile, trailer). The product portfolio spans core washer lines (Electric, Gasoline, Diesel, Liquid Propane Washers), Jetters for drain and sewer clearing, the Spraz-All sub-brand for lighter-duty applications, and a full accessories line including surface cleaners, under-carriage cleaners, tank/duct cleaners, and nozzles.

The company serves a diverse set of end markets including agriculture, automotive, construction, food processing, municipal/government/military, marine, drain and sewer, waste management, gas/oil/mining, janitorial, residential, and truck and fleet washing, with stated reach across the United States and internationally. Aqua Blast operates a direct-to-customer sales model with consultative, quote-based pricing; customers engage via the company website, toll-free and local phone lines, or an online request-quote form. The company also generates revenue from accessories, replacement parts, and a 24/7 service and repair operation that covers all makes and models of pressure washing equipment, not only its own units.

Aqua Blast is a privately held, family-dedicated operation with 11-50 employees, no disclosed institutional ownership, and no funding history. Its stated differentiator is the fully customized design process combined with 60+ years of brand reputation in agricultural, industrial, and municipal markets. The business model emphasizes long-term customer relationships, lifetime system support, and practical Midwestern service values over proprietary technology lock-in or scale advantages.

Direct peers

• Mi-T-M Corporation: US-based manufacturer of custom and standard pressure washers, air compressors, and janitorial equipment. Most direct US competitor, also selling custom-engineered industrial and contractor-grade systems with multiple power-source options.
• Pressure-Pro: US manufacturer of professional-grade pressure washers and Jetter systems (drain/sewer cleaning). Direct overlap with Aqua Blast's Jetter product line and fleet/contractor customer base.
• BE Pressure Supply: Manufacturer and distributor of pressure washers, replacement parts, and accessories. Comparable mid-sized US competitor in the custom/semi-custom pressure washer and accessories market serving contractors and industrial buyers.
• Hotsy (Karcher North America): Major US brand of hot- and cold-water pressure washers serving industrial, automotive, and food-service cleaning. Directly overlaps Aqua Blast's product categories and end customers, though it relies more on a dealer network than pure custom build.
• Landa (Karcher North America): US pressure washer brand (now part of Kärcher) historically focused on hot-water industrial cleaning. Direct overlap with Aqua Blast's hot-water washers and accessories, serving similar municipal, automotive, and contractor end markets.

Emerging players

• Generac Holdings: Power equipment manufacturer with a smaller pressure washer and water-pumping product line. Comparable as an alternative US-based source of engine-driven cleaning equipment, though pressure washing is a peripheral category for Generac.

Broad incumbents

• Alfred Kärcher SE & Co. KG: Global leader in cleaning technology with a broad pressure washer and industrial cleaning portfolio. Represents the dominant large incumbent whose scale, dealer network, and R&D budget dwarf Aqua Blast's niche custom operation.
• Nilfisk A/S: Global manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment including pressure washers and industrial wash systems. Overlaps Aqua Blast in industrial and municipal cleaning, but operates as a broad multinational portfolio player rather than a custom specialist.

Others

• Cat Pumps: US manufacturer of high-pressure triplex pumps widely used in pressure washing, jetting, and industrial cleaning systems. Comparable as a critical component supplier to Aqua Blast and similar OEMs, with some branded system offerings in adjacent cleaning applications.
• Comet S.p.A. Italian manufacturer of high-pressure pumps and pump systems used by pressure washer OEMs. Comparable as a supplier/ecosystem participant that competes with Aqua Blast in the system-integration layer through its own branded pressure washer offerings.
