How to Locate a Leak

 

• Let's walk through the steps to identify a leak in your  Hot Water Pressure Washer.

• 1. **Safety First:** Before starting, make sure your pressure cleaner is turned off and disconnected from any power source. Ensure the washer is cool to avoid accidental burns and wear protective gloves for safety.

• 2. **Inspect the Pressure Washer:** Start with a visual inspection of your pressure washer. Look out for any obvious signs of leakage like puddles under the unit or dripping water.

• 3. **Hose Inspection:** Inspect the hose for any signs of wear, crack, or cut. These are common areas where water can leak. Also, check the connection points between the hose and the pressure washer. If the leaks are coming from here, it might simply be a case of tightening up your connections.

• 4. **Check the Pump:** The pump is another possible source of leakage. Pumps can often leak due to worn seals which can be replaced if needed. If the pump is severely damaged, you may want to consider replacing the entire pump.

• 5. **Inspect the Gun:** Check the spray gun, particularly where it connects to the hose and the nozzle. Reattach or replace these parts if you see water leaks.

• 6. **Examine the Connections:** Finally, examine the water connections on the machine, including where water enters and exits the machine. Hot water washers typically have seals which can wear out over time leading to potential leak.

• If you've followed these steps and are still having trouble locating your leak or if the issue persists after replacing the necessary part(s), don't hesitate to contact a professional or  customer service for further assistance. Remember, when dealing with equipment like a hot water pressure washer, safety should always be your main priority.
