.is there a specific psi level that I should look for?


PSI is only part of the issue and not the most important one either. PSI & GPM, you need to look at both. A 2500psi/3gpm unit will do much better than a 3000psi/2gpm model. Also it's all about maintenance and storage rather than brand. You can kill any pump by storing it at the end of the season full of water. You can make a cheap pump last years if you drain out the water and spray a lubricant into the pump inlet and pull it over a few times after every use before putting it away and flushing it with antifreeze before winter storage.

I have had good brands in the past, and the only thing I have ever done to a PW pump is change the fluid every 50hrs. Never had any problems whatsoever. Good ones are very hard to break, and serviceable when they do
