Once your pressure washer and water source are turned OFF and you are unable to disconnect your hoses from the pump and gun it is generally due to the pressure that is still inside of the machine. To relieve this pressure simply squeeze the trigger to release any water and then try disconnecting hoses again.
In general, an additional pump won`t be necessary between your water tank and pressure washer if there`s enough pressure and water but if the current water pressure is insufficient, then an additional pump will be needed.
Pulsing water, or intermittent high and low pressure, can signify a damaged or faulty pump. If so, the Tasker will have to replace it, which will cost $100 to $150.
A common complaint is that the water in the washing machine drum will not drain, or that the washing machine has stopped mid-cycle with it still full of water. Another common issue is that the washing machine drum will not spin, or it won`t drain properly.

It depends on the pressure washing equipment you purchase. New pressure washers will be rated with a number of hours they should last. For example, if it is rated 500 hours and you use it fewer than 50 hours throughout the year then it will last you more than ten years as long as you keep it well maintained.
