What are the parts on a pressure washer?
First, to understand your pressure washer, you will need to know what its parts are.
A pressure washer is made up a few main parts, but the ones you will be using most are the pump, spray gun, pressure washer hose, air motor and nozzles.
Are power washer attachments universal?
When it comes to pressure washer parts, the parts are not universal. Some wands are specifically designed for gas pressure washers while others are designed for electric pressure washers. This also applies to the rest of the parts, because they are all meant to fit in together. Make sure you are getting the correct wand for your pressure washer in order to seamlessly repair your machine.
What parts most commonly need replacement?
Overusing your pressure washer can wear out some of its parts. These are the parts of your pressure washer that will most likely need replacing: The pump, the hose, the wand and the filter. Though the spray gun is what controls the pressure washer, the pump is truly the center of the machine’s operation that generates pressure and determines how powerful it will be. It is likely to lose its force over time and will need replacing.
The hose can be bent or damaged, which means that replacing your hose can help bring your pressure washer back to life.
The filter is another part that will likely need replacing, because of general wear and tear over time. If your pressure washer is operating at low pressure, it’s likely because of the dirt in the pump which is what your filter is supposed to prevent. While you can rinse the filter for a while, you might need to replace it eventually. Do not disregard this as it’s essential to protecting the pump.
