In addition to routine maintenance and upkeep of high-pressure washers, it’s also important to master the skills of troubleshooting common minor issues. The following details the specific causes and corresponding solutions for insufficient water pressure at high-pressure washers:
1. Severely worn high-pressure nozzle: Excessive nozzle wear directly affects the water pressure at the device’s outlet, requiring prompt replacement of the nozzle.
2. Insufficient water flow: Insufficient water flow to the device will cause a decrease in output pressure. Replenishing sufficient water can resolve this pressure issue.
3. Clogged water inlet filter: A clogged water inlet filter can affect water flow and result in insufficient water supply. The filter screen needs to be cleaned or replaced.
4. High-pressure pump or internal piping failure: Wear of the high-pressure pump’s internal wearing parts can reduce water flow; clogged internal piping can also result in insufficient water flow. Both can lead to low operating pressure. The high-pressure pump needs to be inspected and worn parts replaced, and internal clogged piping needs to be cleaned.
5. The pressure regulating valve is not set to high pressure: The pressure regulating valve is not adjusted to the correct high-pressure setting. The pressure regulating valve needs to be adjusted to the high pressure position.
6. Aging of the overflow valve: Aging of the overflow valve can cause increased overflow volume and decreased pressure. If aging is detected, the overflow valve components must be replaced promptly.
7. Leakage in the high- and low-pressure water seals or inlet and outlet check valves: Leakage in these components can cause low operating pressure. Leaking water seals or check valves require prompt replacement.
8. Abnormalities in the high-pressure hose or filter: Kinks or bends in the high-pressure hose, or damage to the filter, can impede water flow and lead to insufficient pressure. These abnormal components require prompt repair or replacement.
High-quality cleaning equipment requires timely care and maintenance, which not only effectively extends the life of the equipment but also helps reduce cleaning costs.
