Full Description

Corded mains power. Machine, 50 ft 5/16 inch hose, swivel gun, 20 degree bent lance, 1000ml foam cannon and outlet adaptor. The Active™ 2.3 Electric Pressure Washer Premium Kit is the Active 2.3 machine boxed with Active's own premium accessories, ready to wash and snow foam (Active code AP-SE14UK(02)/H75EU). Active says the accessory set was developed using customer feedback and expert guidance, and the gun, lance, hose and foam cannon all use fully machined 304 stainless steel fittings.

Active built the 2.3 from its work on the Active 2.0 for the professional consumer. An updated brass endplate 5-Piston Pro Pump and a 128 induction motor give 2.3 GPM at 1100 PSI working pressure, 1500 PSI peak, and Active quotes a combined output of 2,500 cleaning units. The machine is serviceable and rebuildable. Want the machine on its own? See the Active 2.3 Electric Pressure Washer. A lighter set is the Active 2.3 Standard Pro Kit.

What is in the Premium Kit

  • Active 2.3 Electric Pressure Washer: the machine, with its brass endplate 5-Piston Pro Pump and 128 induction motor.
  • M22-14mm to 3/8 adaptor: joins the machine's M22-14mm outlet to the 3/8 quick connect system of the kit hose.
  • Active 50 ft steel braided hose, 5/16": about 15 m of real rubber hose with steel braiding. Active chose the 5/16" size as the balance between the light weight of a 1/4" hose and the durability of a 3/8" hose. Fully machined 304 stainless steel quick connects with a 3/8" male plug and a female quick connect. Active rates its 50 ft hose to 4000 PSI and 12 GPM, at up to 212°F (100°C).
  • Active swivel gun: fully machined 304 stainless steel quick connects and an integrated internal swivel connection, a valve with a solid brass body and a stainless metal rod, a low-profile angle, a rubber grip and a low-force trigger. Rated to 5000 PSI and 12 GPM, at up to 300°F (149°C).
  • Active foam cannon: a fully machined 304 stainless steel quick nozzle head with adjustment for foam consistency, angle and pattern, on a leak-free 1000ml bottle with a flexible tube and a stainless steel weight ball. Rated to 4000 PSI and 4 GPM, at up to 140°F (60°C).
  • Active 20° bent lance: fully machined 304 stainless steel with integrated quick connects, a 1/4" male inlet and a 1/4" female outlet, in a nylon casing that makes it easier to manoeuvre around hard to reach areas. 20.5 inches (about 52 cm) long, rated to 5000 PSI and 12 GPM.

Good to know

  • Active supplies a 4.6 size orifice to keep the current draw under 15A, and warns that any other orifice must not take the draw above 15A, or the microswitch and capacitor can be damaged.
  • Active strongly recommends steel braided hoses for proper operation.
  • Keep the inlet water at 40°C or below, and squeeze the trigger to purge air before switching on.

HQ Suggests (Tips & Insights)

  • 💡 Water flow is often more important than headline PSI figures for detailing work.
  • 💡 Use filtered water where possible to reduce mineral build-up inside the pump.

The Brand

Active

Active is the pressure washer brand of Active Products Inc., a Canadian company led by its founder and president, James Hou. It builds compact electric pressure washers around car enthusiasts and their feedback. Its own timeline runs from the development and patent of its 5-piston pump in 2018, through direct sales of the VE52 and VE51 washers in North America from 2020 and the launch of the Active 2.0 in 2022, to the swivel gun in spring 2024, the foam cannon, lance and hose later that year, and the Active 2.3 Compact and reels and storage in 2025. Active sets its washers at about 1000 PSI with as much water flow as possible, which it sees as the ideal balance for washing cars safely.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Active online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop. Popular choices include the Active 2.0 Premium Kit, the Active 3.0 machine and the Active Premium Snow Foam Cannon.

Active 2.0, 2.3 and 3.0 pressure washers

Active 2.0. The compact machine, made for DIY detailers and hobbyists: a patented 5-piston pump and a Universal 9650 motor give 2 GPM of flow, and at 431 x 203 x 228mm it wall mounts, sits on a detailing cart or packs into a van, with a 2 year residential warranty. It comes as the machine only, the Standard Kit with a wall-mountable cage, 20 ft hose, metal gun and lance and four nozzles, or the Premium Kit with Active's own accessories.

Active 2.3. The high flow machine for the professional consumer: a brass endplate 5-piston pump and a 128 induction motor give 2.3 GPM, and it is serviceable and rebuildable. Choose the machine only, the Standard Pro Kit with a 50 ft 1/4 inch hose, swivel gun, 20 degree lance and nozzles, or the Premium Kit.

Active 3.0. The flagship, for car detailing as well as driveways and patios: 3.0 GPM at 1000 PSI working pressure from a patented 5-piston pump and a low-speed induction motor, so it rinses quickly, feeds a foam cannon well and runs fairly quietly. The machine only comes with four spray nozzles and a 1.65mm foam cannon orifice, and the Premium Kit adds the full accessory set.

The Premium Kits. Each adds a 50 ft 5/16 inch hose, a swivel gun, a bent lance, a 1000ml foam cannon and an outlet adaptor, all with fully machined 304 stainless steel fittings. All Active machines run on corded mains power.

Active foam cannon, hoses and storage

Snow foam. The Active Premium Snow Foam Cannon has brass and stainless steel internals, an adjustable spray pattern and dilution control for thick or light foam, and a wide-mouth 1 litre bottle that is easy to fill and hard to tip over.

Upgrade kit. The Active Premium Accessory Kit turns another machine into an Active setup: an M22-14mm to 3/8 inch adapter, a 50 ft 5/16 inch steel braided rubber hose with 304 stainless steel quick connects at both ends, and the Active swivel gun, whose internal swivel stops the hose tangling.

Reach and storage. The 15 Metre Extension Hose gives more reach round the car without moving the machine, and the Active Wall Mount holds the washer off the floor in powder-coated steel, with an open frame for the hose and cable.

Using it safely. Keep the nozzle at least 12 inches from the paint, as Active advises, rinse from the top down and let snow foam do the loosening before any contact wash.
