How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
Your SIMPSON may be operating in low-pressure due to an incorrectly sized nozzle or a nozzle that has worn out. Always replace any worn or broken nozzles as they can potentially be a safety hazard. ALWAYS use accessories that are within your pressure washer`s PSI range.
The number one cause of low or no pressure when using a pressure washer is a blocked or worn nozzle. Blocked nozzles will prevent water from escaping, while a worn nozzle will allow too much water to pass through, causing the pressure to drop.
If your pressure washer is refusing to work or even turn on, the culprit could potentially be the power switches. Most pressure washers use two micro switches that disconnect both the live and neutral connections between the supply and the motor. These switches can jam cutting the power out from reaching the motor.
How Do I Tell If My Unloader Valve is Bad? In most occurrences, the first symptom of an unloader valve going bad is no pressure from the wand when the trigger is pressed. This happens when the unloader valve gets stuck open and does not allow water to enter the hose and trigger.
Each time the power cord is plugged in to an outlet, the Reset button on the GFCI module must be pressed down to connect to electricity. Check to see if the Reset button has been pressed. Next, confirm the small plastic window below the Reset button shows RED in the window.
If the pressure washer does not start, then the first thing to check is the fuse in the plug.
The damage may not always be instantaneous, but the more you start your pressure washer without water, the more you risk ruining your machine. Take note that if either the pump or the motor fails, you won`t be able to use your pressure washer.
Outlet / drain hose kinked not allowing all the water to be pumped out. Check for kinked hoses. Filters blocked slowing the water entry. Machine will take longer than normal to fill.
There could be small leaks, holes, or tears in your garden hose or high-pressure hose that are causing your pressure washer to lose pressure when you pull the trigger. If you find leaks, plug the holes or replace the hose, which should solve your pressure issues.

They recommend 250 hours, but i’d change more often, like you said when it’s milky. If it begins to get water in the oil sooner, that indicates your piston to crankcase seal is beginning to leak.
Sump pump hums and then kicks breaker. Will not pump. I cleaned everything, still have problem

No pressure Pump reassembly. I purchased a new pump and installed it. Got machine back together and I’m not getting any pressure. What would be the signs if I don’t have the shaft key in properly? Or any other suggestions?
