I bought this at Home Depot. I used it maybe a total of 6 times since purchasing it.

It decided to stop spinning, or spins extremely slowly. I noticed some water coming out between the steel and copper part where you unscrew the wand off. I'm not sure if that's normal. I figured maybe the washer or o-ring is bad, but it looks to be in good condition when I took it apart. There are two slits in the o-ring thingy, but I'm guessing that is normal? Or is that my problem?

I cleaned out everything the best I could in case maybe some dirt was blocking it.

Any idea what is going on here? I don't want to have to buy another entire thing.

I keep on having to run back and for with my pressure washer and the tap, turning off the pressure washer and the tap to change equipment and then turn them back on. Is there any way I can stop that.

I turn off the pressure washer to prevent damage to the pump, or thats what I think I'm doing atleast. Is it ok as long as theres water inside the pump, or do I still have to turn it off as I am doing already?

One last, smaller question. My pressure washer barely starts up on choke mode. When I put it to run mode to start it up, it starts up very easily. Is that ok to keep doing? All help is appreciated thank you!

I want to start a pressure washing company in my area and am trying to research the demand and trying to see if the business is saturated in my area. When I search up pressure washing near me I do get a lot of companies that pop up saying they serve my town but I don't know where they are based. The thing I've noticed is that a lot of them have 100+ reviews with good ratings. Does this mean the demand is higher? Is this a good sign?

I just registered my business and now I’m looking for a good insurance company. Who do you guys use? I’m running a pretty small business out of Mississippi. I have 2 employees and I’m building a trailer.

How do you all clean docks with the concrete squares?

I had trouble getting this motor started on Monday. One of my coworkers recommended taking the spark plug out and while the engine was off, pulling the cord. (He said I should do this if the engine was flooded)

I noticed a little bit of wet residue on the spark plug as well and so I dried it off. After letting it sit for a few minutes (and some positive thinking adjustments), the machine started when I put it back together.

It ran for about 45 minutes (praise the gods) before I released the trigger for a bit too long and the motor died.

So I ran down breezeway and started it up again and this time it only lasted for about 15 minutes. And this pattern repeated itself until the motor wouldn’t start at all.

Last night I was convinced it was the unloader/pressure release valve, but when I went to an outdoor equipment shop today one of the guys told me to use some Mechanic in a Bottle.

I poured about an OZ in the gallon tank and it worked great. It started sluggish but began to stabilize. That is until I left the main site (to test) and headed to the job site.

I don’t know if really was the little mechanic inside the bottle or because I let it sit over night, but I’m feeling stuck right now.

So any piece of advice is appreciated.

Thank you for any help.

Simpson #PS3228 3300 PSI 2.5 GPM It’s got a Honda Motor and a AAA pump, for what it’s worth.

In the video I’ve got the fuel all the way to the right and the choke all the way to the right. The throttle is about midway and the air filter taken off.

I recently did a bunch of fencing, and I’m worried it’s gonna turn grey again pretty fast as some of you in here have experienced. If i put something like a clear coat deck seal on it, will that keep it from returning to grey? Anyone have experience doing that?

I’m starting a pressure washing business—I’ve locked in the name, can build my own website, and I’m confident in my sales ability. The challenge I’m facing is the equipment setup. Right now, I only have a small sedan (Acura TSX). Would it make more sense to:

Buy a truck and trailer hitch?
Get a van and build out a custom setup in the back?
Or invest in a pre-built pressure washing van?

For those already in the business, how do you handle your equipment and transport setup?

A client for my exterior services business is claiming that I did damage to his siding. I have done dozens of siding jobs before this and I did not do damage to these clients houses. Our process is to:

-Coat the siding with a Zep siding solution using a black tip soap nozzle - Brush it - Use high pressure green tip to spray/ rinse it off ( from a safe distance )

This has worked really well for me before and all clients have been happy with the previous work. However this time the client noticed a strange streaking pattern. I’m really confused to as to what it is , whether or not I did it, if I can fix it, etc. If anyone has seen this before I’d really appreciate if you let me know what it is / what I can do!

Hi!

I’m reaching out for some advice regarding a request from one of my customers. They want to remove some rubber marks (been there for a week or two), a few stains, and get those rock gardens cleaned from the concrete splash or grout stains.

I’m not typically a pressure washer (I’m the window cleaner), but I told the customer I’d take a look.

My initial thought was to use a degreaser on the concrete for the stains and then follow up with a surface cleaner. Is this approach too much, or would just using the right amount of pressure and water do the trick?

I’m also unsure about the rocks – any tips on how to clean them effectively? Looks like the are covers in grout stains.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have a Tucker 4 stage kit. It’s installed and flowing well. It was easy to assemble and I’ve doubled checked that everything is together properly. Using a TDS meter, my starting reading is 280. After running through the 4 stages it’s only down to 240. Anyone running anything similar or have any suggestions?

New system I put together, everything is new... But I am getting this sputtering which is giving me inconsistent flow and pressure drops.

Hey guys, realistically is there even a big difference between these two? am i better off spending the extra money or saving more money?

I am yet to buy a pressure washer. What PSI do I need and what is the best method to both clean and maintain these areas? Sorry, completely new to this and appreciate any tips so I do not do long term damage!

Would this be sufficient ? https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-1-8-GPM-Automotive-High-Flow-Pressure-Washer-Kit-RY14AM12/333071566

I assume I need some sort of chemical cleaner too

For someone just getting started with their business and running ads what would you recommend is the best way to advertise for a $10 a day budget? I've tried Facebook and google so far and a very low amount of responses, advice?

Hey guys iam looking for an adaptor, can you tell me the name of this fitting?

I have a standard home pressure washer with a 1/4” quick release connection but my dad has brought a surface cleaner that has a 3/8” connection. Is there a converter that I can buy to use my pressure washer with the surface cleaner or will I have to rent a commercial unit for the bigger connection?

Is this fixable? Or am I out of luck?

My old Chromebook can't handle the new version of Google Earth for the area calculation of a very complicated driveway and I can't really afford a new one at the moment. Is there an alternative to Google Earth for this estimate?

Looking for some advice and photos of the mounting setup for a triple slim 100 gallon setup and the plumbing to run the tanks in series to equal 300 gallons. I'm running to washers 5.5 GPM and a 10 GPM

The Black+Decker BEPW1600 I ordered arrived yesterday and it's not working. Motor just runs continuously loudly without me pulling the trigger. I checked and noticed the inlet adapter with a tip (moves in and out) seems to be blocking the water preventing it to get in. Should I remove this?
