With no nozzle, only inlet water pressure (approximately 50 psi) will flow through the spray gun. Also, if a nozzle is sized too small, the machine will create more pressure—and if too large, less pressure.
Ideal for cleaning all smooth surfaces such as paint, glass or plastic: The interchangeable Universal attachment for the WB 130 rotating wash brush.
Pressure Washer`s are commonly connected to a running tap via a hose; however they can also draw water from sources such as a rain water tanks & garden bucket with the same performance. So this means you don`t have to miss out on using your Kärcher summer!
If you have a pressure washer or are considering buying one, you`ve probably noticed that there are all kinds of pressure washer nozzles to choose from. Nozzles are color-coded to make it easy to choose the one that you need, and the colors are universal.
It Can Harm The Unit

Without water to cool and lubricate it, the pump will work harder than it should, causing it to wear down quickly. This can happen even with just a few seconds of running the pressure washer without the water being turned on. However, the pump is not the only part that takes damage.

In order to cover the various interfaces, from the highpressure cleaner to the nozzle, as well as forward and backward compatibility, a total of 8 different adaptors are available. This ensures that all existing machines and accessories can continue to be used together with the new machines and accessories with EASY!
Portable power washers are designed to be portable, which means that they have their own onboard water tank. When you use a pressure washer with an included tank, you don`t need to connect to an outdoor tap, because your liquid access is already there. You can leave the garden hose out of the equation.
Most air compressors have a PSI of around 100-120, but a pressure washer will typically have a PSI of 1000-2000. This means that you`ll need an air compressor with a high PSI in order to use it as a pressure washer. If you have the right attachments and PSI, then you can use your air compressor as a pressure washer!

1750 psi Electric Pressure Washer: My pressure washer is losing pressure and is pulsa…
ANSWER : If the pressure washer is pulsating then that is a sign of check valve failure. You may be able to clean of replace the check valves. Replacing the head is the wrong way to go. This is completely unnecessary. If you can tell me the model number of your pressure washer then I can assist you better in pointing you in the right direction.

On my karcher pressure washer, how do i get the soap to come out of the spray nozzle?
ANSWER : Two nozzels came with your washer one has a cone shaped head, the other one is blunt, attach the blunt one to the trigger. You will notice on the barrel of the nozzel it says “mix” turn the indicator line to “mix” and it should work. This is a very low pressure setting and is used to “apply” the soap only. You cannot despense soap in the hight pressure mode.
