Water Cannon hot water 4000psi pressure washer

 Step-by-Step guide on safely using a Water Cannon hot water 4000psi pressure washer for historic building restoration applications:


Materials and Tools Needed:


- Water Cannon hot water 4000psi pressure washer
- Protective clothing, safety glasses, and gloves
- Scaffolding or lift (if needed)
- Extension wand (if needed)


Steps:


1. Safety First: Always wear protective clothes, including safety glasses and gloves, when operating a pressure washer. The high-pressure jet can cause serious injuries.

2. Prepare the Pressure Washer: Make sure to read the operator’s manual before you start the pressure washer. Understand the correct operation, the controls, and safety measures.

3.  Inspect the Building: It's crucial to evaluate the building's condition before pressure washing. Look for any signs of weak masonry, cracks, or loose bricks. Areas where mortar is crumbling should also be identified. These zones might need gentler pressure or handheld cleaning.

4. Get Permission: Historic buildings usually fall under specific protection laws. Always check the laws and get necessary permissions before you begin cleaning.

5. Test on a Small Area: Use the 4000psi pressure washer on a small, less noticeable area first to make sure it doesn't cause any damage.

6.  Avoid Direct Angles: Never direct the pressure washer jet perpendicular to the surface. Instead, aim at a 45-degree angle. This rule helps to prevent the displacement of mortar and ensures less abrasive interaction with the surface.

7. Maintain a Safe Distance: Always maintain a safe distance from the building. Aim to keep about six to twelve inches away from the wall. Be sure to step back if the pressure seems too intense to prevent damage. 

8. Use an Extension Wand: For high areas, use an extension wand instead of a ladder when possible. It can be dangerous to operate a pressure washer from a ladder due to the force of the back spray.

9. Work from Top to Bottom: Start at the top of the building and work your way down. This method allows the dirty water to run down the wall, so you're not spraying over previously cleaned areas which allows for an even clean.

10. Continuous Movement: Keep the spray moving. If you keep it in one area for too long, you could cause damage especially considering the high PSI of the Water Cannon hot water pressure washer.

11. Use Hot Water Carefully: Hot water can be very effective, but it must be used carefully on delicate surfaces. It can help to dissolve tough grime and can make the cleaning process quicker.  At the end of this process, your historic building should be clean, preserving its architectural integrity. Remember, when in doubt, always seek professional help. Historic buildings are sensitive, and incorrect pressure washing could lead to irreversible damage.

how to adjust and properly set a VRT 3 unloader valve


Unloader - VRT

Hear is a step-by-step tutorial on how to adjust and properly set a VRT 3 unloader valve for a Water Cannon pressure washer:
1. **Gather Necessary Tools**: Commonly, an adjustable wrench and a flat head screwdriver and an inline glycerin filled pressure gauge rated for 4500psi or more would be all you need.


2. **Safety First**: Before working with any equipment, especially one pressurized, it is essential to first unplug or turn it off. Disconnect your pressure washer from the power supply if electric or disconnect the spark plug if gasoline powered for safety reasons to ensure that it doesn't accidentally turn on while you're working.

3. **Identify the Unloader Valve**: Locate the VRT 3 unloader valve on your  Water Cannon pressure washer. It is usually positioned on the side of the pressure washer unit and is typically a knob, bolt or a nut that can be turned by hand or requires a tool.


4. **Preparation for Adjustment**: Before starting the adjustment, open the pressure adjusting knob by rotating it counter-clockwise. This will minimize the spring tension allowing for easier adjustment later on.

5. **Setting the Pressure**: To increase the pressure, turn the unloader valve clockwise. To decrease the pressure, turn the unloader screw counterclockwise. Remember to make small adjustments then test the pressure before adjusting it further.

6. **Testing Adjustments**: Once you've made your adjustments, test the pressure washer by running water through it without turning it on. Check the pressure levels carefully by viewing the inline pressure gauge. 

7. **Fine Tuning**: Models may vary, but usually adjustment occurs by a black knob on top of the valve which can be screwed in for less flow (increased pressure) and screwed out for more flow (decreased pressure). 

8. **Lock Changes**: If your unloader has a locking nut, tighten it after you reach the desired setting. 

9. **Re-test the unit**: Re-test the unit to ensure it is functioning at the desired pressure.

Please note: This guide provided is basic and the exact steps could slightly vary based on the specific model of your Water Cannon pressure washer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety guidelines when adjusting the unloader valve. If the pressure washer still isn’t operating as it should, you may need to consult a professional for further assistance.

HIGH GPM

 



HIGH GPM

By having technical advice, you will be able to obtain the best option in cleaning machinery, which implies a correct choice in GPM and PSI.
GPM = Gallons per minute, this means that you will obtain the necessary flow rate for the job,You must take into account the level of grime, dirt mold or barnacles you need this flow rate for
If you choose a high flow rate you will get a job done in less time.

Advantages of a high GPM: speed on large surfaces, keep in mind that a high GPM can cause damage to fragile surfaces, such as windows, surfaces with fragile covers.
With a proper combination of PSI – and accessories the GPM will be your best alloy.
