It’s Spring and this is the time of the year that a lot of people take their pressure washers out of winter storage to clean up around the house. One of the major problems that occurs upon startup of a pressure washer especially a hot water pressure washer that has been stored away for a period of time is debris gets clogged in the trigger gun, high pressure hose, or pressure nozzle. To avoid this problem, before you run any water through the machine disconnect the pressure hose, trigger gun/wand assembly and pressure nozzle. Then run the water through the pressure washer and start the pressure washer’s engine or electric motor. Usually, the water will come out of the pressure washer looking very dark or black. Run the pressure washer for about 1 to 2 minutes until the water clears up. Shut off the pressure washer and water spigot, reconnect the pressure hose and trigger gun keeping the pressure nozzle off. Turn on the water and run the machine again. Release the trigger gun on and off a few times, make sure the water is coming out of the trigger gun clear and then install your pressure nozzle.
This will help keep your pressure washer be it a hot water or cold water pressure washer from clogging up the trigger gun, high pressure hose or pressure nozzle. You can contact me at info@aquatech-usa.com if you have any questions about your pressure washer or power washer.
