CA-3003-1MAH Gas Pressure Washer — CA Aluminum Series 3000 PSI with Honda GX270
The CA-3003-1MAH produces 3000 PSI at 3.0 GPM — 9,000 cleaning units — from a 270cc Honda GX270 OHV engine paired with an AR crankshaft pump on Mi-T-M's aluminum frame. At 105 lbs it weighs roughly 35–40 lbs less than comparable steel-frame units at the same output. The step from the CA-2703 (6,480 CU) to the CA-3003 (9,000 CU) represents a 39% increase in cleaning power — the difference between washing lightly fouled equipment surfaces and clearing heavily caked mud, grease, and road film from the same surfaces in the same time. ETL listed for US commercial use.
CA-3003-1MAH Output Jump and AR Pump Upgrade
The CA-3003 series moves from the Mi-T-M crankshaft pump used on the CA-2703 to an AR crankshaft pump. AR pumps carry higher pressure ratings and are commonly specified for sustained commercial use at 3000 PSI and above. The Honda GX270 provides the 270cc displacement required to drive the AR pump at rated 3.0 GPM flow. Three engine variants exist on the CA-3003 chassis: Honda GX270 (1MAH), Kohler CH395 (1MAK), and Mi-T-M OHV (1MAM).
3000 PSI at 3.0 GPM (9,000 CU) — 39% more cleaning power than the CA-2703; removes heavy equipment fouling, road film, and concrete residue in fewer passes
270cc Honda GX270 OHV engine — Honda's commercial displacement for sustained 3000 PSI output; global service network
AR crankshaft pump, forged brass manifold, thermal relief valve — AR pump rated for sustained commercial-duty pressure; brass handles mineral-rich water
105-lb aluminum frame, patented vibration isolation plate — 35–40 lbs lighter than steel-frame equivalents; aluminum resists corrosion in outdoor storage
ETL listed, 10-in flat-free tires — ETL certification accepted for commercial procurement; flat-free tires never require inflation
50-ft × 3/8-in hose, 36-in lance — 50-ft reach handles most vehicle and building cleaning positions without repositioning the machine
CA-3003-1MAH Applications and Environments
Construction contractors use the CA-3003-1MAH to clean concrete forms, equipment tracks, and building envelopes where the CA-2703's 6,480 CU leaves residue behind. Fleet operators washing tanker trucks, flatbeds, and agricultural equipment choose the 9,000 CU output for single-pass effectiveness on heavy contamination. Property restoration contractors apply it to masonry and brick cleaning before sealing. Industrial facilities use it for equipment washdown between production cycles involving oils, cutting fluids, and process residues. Municipalities apply it to bus and vehicle fleet washing where thoroughness per shift matters more than equipment weight.

How much more cleaning power does the CA-3003-1MAH have compared to the CA-2703?
The CA-3003-1MAH produces 3000 × 3.0 = 9,000 CU. The CA-2703 produces 2700 × 2.4 = 6,480 CU. That is a 39% increase in cleaning units, which translates to meaningfully fewer passes required on heavily fouled equipment, concrete, and vehicle surfaces.
Why does the CA-3003 use an AR pump instead of the Mi-T-M pump used on the CA-2703?
The AR crankshaft pump is rated for sustained commercial-duty use at 3000 PSI and above, where the load on pump valves and seals is higher than at 2400–2700 PSI. At 3000 PSI / 3.0 GPM, the AR pump's pressure rating and bearing load capacity are better matched to the operating conditions than the Mi-T-M pump used on the lower-output CA-2403 and CA-2703 models.
What engine variants are available on the CA-3003 aluminum frame?
The CA-3003 is available with three engines: Honda GX270 (CA-3003-1MAH), Kohler CH395 (CA-3003-1MAK), and Mi-T-M OHV 300cc (CA-3003-1MAM). All produce 3000 PSI / 3.0 GPM (9,000 CU) from the same 105-lb aluminum frame with the same AR pump and accessories.
How much does the CA-3003-1MAH weigh compared to a steel-frame unit at the same output?
The CA-3003-1MAH weighs 105 lbs. Comparable steel-frame pressure washers at 3000 PSI / 3.0 GPM typically weigh 140–160 lbs. The aluminum frame saves 35–55 lbs, which matters for contractors who load and unload equipment multiple times per day.
Is the CA-3003-1MAH available for sale in California?
No. The Honda GX270 is a 49-state engine that does not meet California CARB small engine emissions standards. The CA-3003-1MAH cannot be sold or registered for use in California.
What optional accessories are available for the CA-3003-1MAH?
Mi-T-M offers the CX-0005 Insulated Dual Lance (36 in) for switching between high and low pressure without changing tips, and the CX-0099 External Bypass System (note: CX-0099, not CX-0097 as on the CA-2403) to allow increased water flow through the pump during extended idle periods, reducing heat build-up in the AR pump.

Located in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, we acquired our Brio Air Filter in mid-late Spring of this year (2023) when pollen count was high and we were beginning to experience the effects of Poor Air Quality Index as a result of smoke particulates from fires in Canada that caused the air in much of Minnesota to become hazy and simply dirty.
It is so easy to share our experience with the Brio Air Filter given how quickly and efficiently it removed pollen, dust, and smoke particles from the environment inside our home. Two people in our home who suffer from pollen-related allergies during the spring immediately experienced easier breathing and elimination of symptoms within the house. With respect to smoke particulates from Canada drifting into our environment, EVERYONE in our home experienced directly improved breathing and smell of the air when entering from outside.
An additional piece of information to account for is that we have always employed high grade furnace filters in our home’s central HVAC system. With that high grade filtration in place both prior to and after acquiring a Brio home air filter, we all quickly agreed that deploying the Brio in our home made an easily noticeable positive difference in breathing inside our home. Additionally, those of us who clean our home have observed that dust builds up slower on our floors and furniture than before we deployed the Brio unit.
We did note that the Brio is not as quiet as a few other brands/models on the market that we have tried in our home but the efficiency and quality of the filtration, along with the air turnover rate it provides,allows us to locate the Brio unit in central rooms away from the bedrooms. Since we made that change there has been no noise-related effect on our sleep, while the unit maintains the same level of air cleanliness throughout our home.
A last key point to make is how easy the Brio unit is to maintain. The simplicity of the modular construction of the Brio unit makes it very quick and easy to keep the filtration sections clean. We have not yet reached a point of filter replacement but it is obvious to us that the replacement will take a matter of seconds and can be executed by anyone in our home, including our 10-year-old son.
It seems to help reduce my allergy issues. We're glad we bought it. The only problem I had was not seeing any cubic footage recommendations in the online description when purchasing the unit. Bedrooms vary widely in size!!
