    You want to know what goes wrong with quick couplers?

    Hello their fellow pressure washers, Yes, the o'rings go out in the quick couplers but that is not the big problem. We buy o'rings at .03 ea. 500 to a bag. And as far as o'rings go, we have found the Buna are much better than viton for hot water. We have tried them both and vitons don't hold...

    burner smoking only at the end of the night!

    Hey John, Our burner starts smoking and loading up at the end of the night. Could that be a weak fuel pump. It seems to work fine for the first 4 hours or so. I figured maybe as the fuel in the diesel tank lowers it maybe harder for the pump to pull fuel up. PLease give me your comments and...

    I am new to this chat room, but a chat room is a chat room and the last I heard, we still live in a country where freedom of speech exists and why would anyone object to mentioning a brand name in a good light or a bad light. For those reps, or manufacturers who sponsor this board, let them...

    Hi Jon, What's this xjet thing. Sounds like alot of people are jazzed about it. What can it do that an extension poll with a zero degree nozzel can't do, besides siphen soap. Bryan

    What is the best down stream injector?

    Hi folks, We have had problems with our downstream injectors. They seem to work for about a week or two and then quit working. I assume the acid base soap we use is eating away at the seals. Does anyone know of a durable brand injector that holds up with acidic soap. Thanks, Bryan

    flow actuated valves

    Dear Glenn, Our units are equiped with flow actuated valves and if the flow is restricted, the burner will not ignite due to the restriction. I am only stating that a larger rated nozzel will still carry enough flow to ignite the burner and work fine, however, a restricted flow (which can be...

    flow and volume

    Glenn, One more thing. If your machine is rated at 4gpm. your nozzel size must be at least 4 or greater if you go to a lesser gpm nozzel, it will cause your machine to smoke as it the burner is firing intermittenly due to the flow actuator. You can change to larger gpm nozzels but not lower...
