will the unloader have the pressure preset?

 

Unloader - VRT3



ZWD4040 Comet Pump Triplex 4 GPM 4000 PSI
- includes an unloader, thermal relief valve, quick connect, chemical injector siphon hose, and garden hose inlet with stainless steel filter - 1 inch hollow shaft and universal fits Honda, Kohler and Lifan engines.


Question; When I receive my pump will the unloader have the pressure preset?

  • The unloader is not set exactly. 
  • The factory uses a default setting that is close to the performance of the 4000psi pump.
  • It is not a dependable default setting. 
  • Please always check the oil level and start the unloader in the counter-clockwise setting until you can test the system. 
  • You can increase the pressure by manually turning the adjustment knob clockwise until you reach the desired load on the engine. 
  • Do not exceed 4200psi.

Water cavitation on a pressure washer


 Water cavitation on a pressure washer is the process of gas bubbles forming and collapsing inside the pump, which can damage the pump and cause premature failure. 

Cavitation occurs when the pump's inlet doesn't supply enough fluid to match the amount being discharged from the outlet. This can happen when the net positive suction head (NPSHR) needed by the pump isn't available. The NPSHA is the minimum pressure required at the suction port to prevent the liquid from boiling or evaporating. 
  • Ensure the pressure applied at the suction port is greater than the liquid's vapor pressure 
  • Match the pump specifications to the fluid and system requirements
