5 Problems With A Downstream Injector & How To Fix It

Here are 5 problems that you might have with a down stream injector.
1. Make sure the flow is going the right way through the down stream injector
2. Make sure the hose is not pinched or have a hole in it
3. Make any fittings are not loose or cracked
4. Make sure the pressure washing gun is opening up all the way
Do the suction test to see where it may not be sucking

I have an injector.....does it have to be after the wand? Mine is between the pw output and the wand. It works for a minute then not again. So does it have to be after the gun?

Why does water back feed back into bucket when down streaming

[@adamg.3138]

Another Great video Jason. I made the mistake of leaving my downstream injector on my machine and then putting a dual port injector into the downstream injector. The dual port worked 3/4 of the job but at the end I couldn’t get much pressure to surface clean or coming out of the gun. Is it because I had both the downstream injector and dual port? I took off the dual port injector and still can’t get much pressure. Help?

[@adamg.3138]

It was my o ring that came out of the downstream injector. First time I’ve ever had one come out. 😉

[@musicfan6575]

Received a new pressure washer pump after the old one. After installing it, I checked for leaks and it blew off the chemical injector brass fitting. Have you ever ran into this issue? If not any suggestions? Can I just weld up the hole and have it bypassed? Thank you.

[@kingofpressurewash]

I’ve had to hose blew off the chemical injector. Usually this is because the ball get eight up and gone

[@user-zq3wt4qq9b]

The thing that always gets me is I always have quick connects but for some reason never rmember to install the quick conects on the new chemical injector ahead of time.

[@kingofpressurewash]

Quick connects playing hide and seek with you! Don't worry, you'll catch them next time!

[@garypick]

I was going nuts trying to get one to work today. It kinda worked, with no gun or tips on it randomly, then I could get it to pull soap again. I tried low pressure tips, checked the hose for leaks and the injector is brand new so shouldn't be a clogged spring or ball issue. Very frustrating. Even rented a $1K per day lift to help with the project and that is sitting there right now wasting away because I can't get my chemical injector to work. I even tried a backup plan with a new pump. I filled a tank with soap and SH and was going to just spray it on with a hose but the new pump unexplainably stopped working. The unpredictability of the chemical injectors is a big downside IMO. But, I guess with more experience they wouldn't be as unpredictable.

[@kingofpressurewash]

can be a pain sometimes but when they work their great

[@josephbailey7408]

Today my downstream tube kept popping off and water was shooting out of the port that sucks chems... what the hell

[@bumpinblazer22s]

Do you not use a remote control system anymore to control your downstream injector?

[@kingofpressurewash]

I do not use the remote anymore. To many headaches with it

Hi, I just added a new DS injector to my pressure washer 21lpm ws202 13hp Honda gx390 , I can't seem to draw chemical, I have 90ft of 3/8 hose I have tried a low pressure nozzle (not black tip)and I have tried shooter tip with no luck I have increased and reduced the revs on the engine, I have about 2ft of 8mm hose going to my chemical drum, I think I have tried everything in your videos but no luck, would you have any other idea what could be wrong, thanks Paul.

[@kingofpressurewash]

Try taking your gun off and see if it will draw them. Sometimes I’m going to go bad and they won’t open up all the way

[@Thepursuit716]

Did you ever get around to trying it without the gun? I have the same machine and have done the exact same thing as you.

[@alfinchum6408]

Why would water shoot from the top of the chemical injector

[@robski461616]

My friend, my injector worked all season long with 50ft of hose. My last two jobs, it only works with 25ft. Will not draw with anything more than one hose. Brand new injector does the same thing. 25ft, fine. More, no draw. Is it my pump?

[@kingofpressurewash]

Make sure your downstream hose is not sucking shut or getting kink somewhere

[@merlinjeronimo3886]

@@kingofpressurewash I think that is my problem too, I do have a 75feet hose.. I disconnected the hose and just let the water run and it will suck bleach.. but nothing with the hose and gun.. help please

Running a 4x4 and just noticed that when I'm using my DS with a line in a bucket... and I let off the trigger, that it backflows into my bucket diluting what ever mixture I have in there. What's going on?

[@kingofpressurewash]

Bad ball. Bad injection

[@michaelgall6876]

Jason, please help. I've now bought 2 downstream injectors and can't figure out why neither have pulled any soap? It is not getting suction and I can't figure out why. And before you ask, yes I used the soap tip. My washer has a soap reservoir but I've bypasses it all. I even put a shutoff valve on the intake side to the pump because I thought that maybe it was the problem.

[@kingofpressurewash]

have you tried with no gun on it? also how much hose you got on it

[@michaelgall6876]

So I removed my gun and bam, it began to pull the water from the bucket. I have a surface max gun that I'd bought from Lowes for like %$50. It works great and it had a handle that I can put on either side which gives better control. Now my washer. I know it's a p.o.s. but I bought it at a great deal and it makes me money and when I can do better, I will upgrade. It is a Ryobi 3,000 PSI, 2.3 gpm. I only paid $200 for it brand new and not from the store. I don't particularly like the gun that came with it but I slapped a fitting on the intake and out and guess what? I had soap. I appreciate your videos man. They are very informative and I hope that someday soon I'll be able to afford to take your course. And maybe you'll be back in Raleigh lol. Thanks again!

[@kingofpressurewash]

@@michaelgall6876 awesome

[@go2powerwashatl]

I will try these tips. I have 2 injectors and not able to get soap using my j-rod only with the black soap tip. But I did notice on my first injector for my first machine it's labeled 2.1 and it's on a 2.5 GPM could be an issue there. My new machine is 4 GPM and it came with an injector, still no soap with j-rod. No number on it that I can tell. My injector hose is like 5 feet or less so it's not to much. I've tried with the arrow pointing in either direction still not working on j-rod using all the tips. Finally I put the injector pointing away from the pump. I hope one of these tips gives a resolve it's the only thing that's been a issue since getting into the business. Thx

Hey fellas any one know why water is coming out of my chemical injector on my pressure washer

[@valdovazquez6636]

Ok my injector is sucking.. But i feel something is wrong.. i done a draw test..you know to see how long it took to empty 1 gallon of chem.. so i got 24 gallons to 1... Giving me a ratio of .5 at the tip... I don't have belt drive pw.. i have a 4gpm 4200psi but my injector is built in.. Is that normal for the injector ratio so low.. ???? How can i get a higher ratio at the tip.. Thanks in advance

[@kingofpressurewash]

some of the built in ones dont draw as good

[@christianness8983]

Anyone else have issues with it leaking air into the system when you're not using the injector? I don't know if there's a valve I'm supposed to close or what, but for the time being I've just put a bit of hose on the end and kinked it with some zip ties to cut off the air supply.

[@kyleraff]

I have a question tryna use my chem injector with my xjet m5 and when I use my xjet it won't take soap why's that

[@kingofpressurewash]

Because the xjet it's causing too much pressure

So here is my issue .. If I add hose I lose suction and cant draw any chemical. I only draw chemical on 50 ft. If I add another 50, it actually pumps into the chemical bucket instead of drawing. Any solution?

I am new. I bought a Simpson 4200/4 gpm. The only way to draw soap is with the black tip. That will not get me to a 2nd story, does no good. How do I fix this?

[@kingofpressurewash]

Yeah that's why you Gotta use a J Rod for it www.pressurewashhelp.com/jrod

[@tgeorge78]

@@kingofpressurewash cool, thanks! I actually bought a j rod and have used it a little. Need to figure out which tip is soap high. I’ve been using it on my wooden fence. I thought the fence would be good practice, but it’s breaking my spirits. It’s full of algae, downstreaming straight SH and a surfactant, and hitting it with the 40 on my jrod. I tried the yellow tip, but it was carving the wood up - especially on the horizontal 2x4s. It’s taking me 15 minutes for each 6 x 8 panel, and still not coming all the way off. I’ll lose my rear end if I get to someone’s house and it takes that long. Thanks for responding, Jason! BTW, is there anything I should buy differently on your rig build list since I have a 4 gpm instead of 5.5?

Since I already have a j rod, I guess I could buy the assassin separately? Will it slide right over one of the existing j rod tips?
