system of seals and valves

 

A pressure washer relies on a system of seals and valves to control and direct the flow of water from the inlet to the pump, then to the outlet and the cleaning nozzle. When the water seals are in good condition, they provide a strong barrier that prevents water from leaking into the oil chamber of the pump.

However, as the water seals wear out – due to general wear and tear, aging, corrosion, or improper maintenance – they can start creating small gaps or cracks. When this happens, water can start to seep through these gaps and mix with the oil in the oil chamber. This can lead to water contamination in the oil, which can further degrade the pump's performance.

Pump oil must remain pure and free from contaminants to lubricate the moving parts effectively. Once water enters the oil chamber, it reduces the oil's lubricating properties, leading to increased friction, overheating, and potentially, serious damage to the pump mechanism. Hence, it's advised to regularly inspect and replace the water seals when necessary to ensure the pressure washer's optimal performance.

Maintaining your pressure washer

Maintaining your pressure washer is important for a number of reasons. First and foremost, regular maintenance will ensure that your pressure washer continues to work properly and efficiently. This means that it will be able to clean surfaces effectively and efficiently, without wasting water or energy.

Another reason to maintain your pressure washer is to extend its lifespan. By regularly cleaning and replacing worn parts, you can prevent major problems from developing that could ultimately lead to the need for a new pressure washer. This can save you money in the long run, as well as the hassle of having to replace your pressure washer prematurely.

Maintaining your pressure washer can also help to prevent accidents and injuries. A well-maintained pressure washer is less likely to experience sudden malfunctions, such as hose bursts or loss of pressure, which can be dangerous. Regular maintenance can also help you to identify and fix potential problems before they become serious.

Finally, maintaining your pressure washer is important for the environment. A well-maintained pressure washer will use less water and energy, which can help to reduce your carbon footprint and conserve natural resources. This can be especially important if you use your pressure washer frequently or for large cleaning tasks.

In conclusion, maintaining your pressure washer is essential for ensuring its proper function, extending its lifespan, preventing accidents and injuries, and protecting the environment. By regularly cleaning and replacing worn parts, you can keep your pressure washer in good working condition and ensure that it continues to serve you well for years to come.

Pressure Gauge

 Pressure Gauges with a Plexiglass crystal face are offered in several sizes of gauge between 1,000 PSI and 10,000 PSI in bottom mount. Once installed, this device effectively measures running pressure and catches spikes that occur when your gun trigger is released or engaged.

A primary fixed location is most commonly found immediately after the pump or on an unloader port to measure 'Pressure at the Pump' and catch pressure spikes. This location will also alert you of cavitation in pump that you may not hear or feel. The needle on the gauge will bounce and appear to be trembling

A second, temporary position is at the base of the spray gun for intermittent checking of pressure  to ensure your nozzle does not need to be replaced. This will also catch pressure spikes and alert you of pressure changes over time as your nozzle enlarges due to wear.
