No, UHP water blasting or water jetting uses 20,000 to 40,000 psi to achieve its work. Normal pressure washing uses 1,000 to 4,500 psi water pressure. There is a massive difference in the power of the water.

Many variables must be considered when answering such a broad question. Still, if the concrete is in a water treatment, containment, or pool-like environment, there is no question that high pressure (5,000 to 10,000 psi) or ultra-high pressure (20,000 to 40,000 psi) water blasting is the best way to prepare the surface.

A typical residential pool requires two to three days for the actual work to be completed. This usually involves a day for preparation and minor repairs and one to two days for two coats of immersion-grade epoxy. Add another day if the caulking is necessary. Following the actual work, seven days are required to allow complete curing of the coating before re-filling with water to assure a durable and long useful life for the pool / pool coating. Total time is weather dependent, of course, but it typically adds up to 10 to 14 days total.
