Can you use a pressure washer if you have low water pressure in your home?

I want to get a pressure washer to use in cleaning the front porch, driveway, and siding of my home, but my house has low water pressure. Would a pressure washer still work in this situation? I guess I don't know how a pressure washer works - I assume it's hooked up to a hose on the house??? Thanks.

It really depends on what you call low. If its too low the pressure washer will 'hunt' or surge up and down on the outlet pressure and will eventually damage the washer unit. Your guess is correct it is hooked up with a hose to the house and a very long hose of too small a size will have the same effect as low water pressure. Check with manufacturers instructions or seek advise from the supplier but I would hazard a guess you need about 18/22 psi minimum.
