is there a minimum power rating of pressure washer required to cope with the distance

Hi. I'm looking at purchasing a pressure washer specifically for jetting drains beyond the normal use of cleaning cars, etc. As cleaning drains requires a longer distance of hose I would imagine that jet pressure at the tip diminishes the longer the hose is? Is there an ideal power rating of washer to cope with a 15m hose or more. Thanks.

    Due to the very high pressures produced by the washer hose lengths do not have a significant effect on performance and therefore do not need to be considered. The higher the power rating then the higher the water pressure and flow generally.
