Do you still have the red travel pump in your pump?

 Did you know that when in use the oil will expand when it gets hot and can cause oil seals to pop out if you are not using the vented dipstick. That is why we ship one with every pump sold. Please make sure to swap the travel plug out for the vented dipstick.

Cavitation:

 Pressure washer Pumps


Cavitation:

 Proper design of the pump inlet supply is critical to the success of any pumping system. The supply can be gravity, suction or pressure fed depending on the pump selected. Improper supply to the pump will cause cavitation. Cavitation is the formation and collapse of gaseous pockets 
(cavities) in a liquid.
Cavitation occurs when a lack of liquid to the inlet causes vaporization in the low pressure chamber of the pump.
When a vapor bubble is re-pressurized it quickly collapses supersonically and the shock wave erodes the surface it is on. Causes pitting and erosion of metallic or ceramic components. 

Cavitation will decrease pump outlet flow and pressure as well because the pump doesn’t fully prime with liquid.  Instead, the pump is attempting to pump a combination of liquid and vapor.  Cavitation will cause shorter seal life, pitted valves, and manifolds.  The short seal life is caused by the lack of lubrication (water is a lubricant in this scenario) increasing wear.

How to Adjust a Safety Pop-Off Valve:



That Pop off Valve is rated for 6000PSI. It is very easy to adjust the Pop Off Valve to the pressure of you unit:
1. Screw the Allen head plug on the end of the Pop Off valve all the way in (clockwise) till it stops.
2. Install the part on your machine.
3. Turn on the water, Start up your unit, and run it up to full pressure.
5. Slowly unscrew (counter clockwise) the Allen head plug until it Pops off.
6. Shut off the unit and turn off the water
7. Turn the Allen head plug back in (clockwise) 1/2 an turn

Now it should be set for the pressure of your unit. If it Pops again you might have to give at an extra 1/4 turn (clockwise).

Water Cannon have the solution :

This problem was most likely caused by any of following:

Freezing - Always drain the excess water if there is a possiblity of a freeze
Try using our Pump Saver product

Cavitation (low water or no water Condition) - Increase the size of the garden hose
Try using a 5 gallon bucket to test the water supply - Always avoid using the dish washer or washing clothes if a pressure washer is in use
  
Over Pressurization - over time bypass pressure unloader valves can be over tightened
You can test for over pressurization by installing a pressure test guage and triggering the trigger gun to se the pressure spikes
You should never be more than 10% over rated pump pressure when the trigger closes.

Never use regular engine oil

Be careful not to overfill your pump with oil and always use the manufacture's recommended oil brand or a 30 weight non-detergent oil.

Never use regular engine oil in a pressure washer pump because the detergent will cause the oil to foam up and leak out the top dipstick. http://www.watercannon.com/default.aspx

Rotating Nozzles


Rotating Nozzles-Dirt Killer-3200 PSI

Blast dirt, grime, slime, mold, mildew, etc. off instantly using the Dirt Killer nozzle. Save chemicals, water, time and money. The Dirt Killer generates a whirlwind of water droplets so powerful that the embedded dirt is blown away. These nozzles, which feature a rotating turbine, deliver the punch of a zero degree nozzle with a 25 degree fan, creating 10 times the cleaning impact of a standard flat tip nozzle, effectively cutting cleaning time in half. The nozzles will fit any pressure washer. 

The DK series is the ideal cleaning nozzle. With its unique, high speed spinning head, it gives a less powerful machine the impact of a more powerful industrial pressure washer. The DK, unlike some rotary nozzles, leaves no unsightly pressure washing lines on the surface it is cleaning and it is safe for use in sensitive industrial areas. Applications include brick cleaning, kennels, paint and graffiti removal, removal of mildew from stucco, concrete and wood decks. The nozzles can also be used for the removal of gum from sidewalks and boat cleaning with barnacle removal.

Service Advisory: Using a high pressure filter increases the life of the DK nozzle. When using with hot water, it is strongly recommended you use the filter and lubricate the nozzle every 2 to 3 hours with a teflon blended oil. These nozzles work best with pressure regulated unloaders. Do not touch rotating water pattern. Always start with the nozzle pointing towards the ground.

Hose Reels


There is hardly anything worse than being unorganized, especially when pressure washing.  Whether in your own home, or as a professional, one of the most important tools for keeping things in order is the Hose Reel.  Having the ability to keep your pressure hose or garden hose easily wound up and contained in one tight spot not only keeps the operator safe and neat but the others around you as well.
The simplest reel being the manual or hand crank type is a good way to start.  Most, if not all hose reels come with an adjustable braking mechanism to ensure that when you pull on the hose to unwind it you don’t have the whole hose uncoil all at once into a rats nest on the ground at the foot of the reel.  Another part of the basic manual hose reel is the locking mechanism that keeps the hose from unraveling each time the trigger is pulled.  One of the most important parts of the hose reel is the swivel.  Although simple in function, the swivel is the most important part in the operation of the reel.  The swivel allows for a high pressure hose to be attached at the core at a 90 degree angle to facilitate the turning of the drum to wrap the hose around without being twisted in a knot.    A leaking swivel can be a real nuisance and can make a mess of the whole operation.  Most swivels can be repaired or replaced in the field with simple tools.

There are many different types of hose reels to choose from.  This is just one type.  Stay tuned for further installments of the different kinds of reels and there most applicable uses.
