About Us
The problem we couldn't ignore.
Bucket Jet comes from Jake Hartley, a top-qualified electrician who works FIFO on some of the biggest sites in Australia. Jake and his wife Megan have three kids, all under 13, and a house full of things that need a wash.
Back from a roster, there was always a pile of spraying waiting. A normal pressure washer means dragging out the hose, finding a tap and hunting for a powerpoint. Jake couldn't be bothered, and neither could anyone else at home.
"Drop the hose in a bucket and squeeze. That's the whole product."
Jake Hartley, founder
Where the idea came from.
On a FIFO job at a dam in Japan, Jake saw crews using bucket-fed cordless washers across a worksite where mains power and water were hard to reach. No cord, no tap, no setup. Japanese gear is made carefully and used hard.
He brought the idea home and, as an electrician, adapted it for Australian conditions. Bucket Jet is the result: a cordless pressure washer that runs off any clean bucket of water.
Why it costs what it does.
Jake wanted it as affordable as he could make it, so every Australian can have one. We sell direct from this store, and shipping is free Australia-wide.
