How did you hook up that hose to the quick connect for the bypass
@crossfiregaming9541
@crossfiregaming9541 9 ай бұрын
​@440pressurewash I believe you can order special quick connects with a hose barb on the other end. That's probably what he used or he just used a 3/8 male quick connect and a hose that fit snug over the threads with a small hose clamp holding it in place since that line isn't under pressure this would work fine. I'm in the process of adding one of these to my 3200psi Predator but I'm actually disconnecting the first unloaded and using the second unloaded for the pressure control and the water dump. This other guy just put out a really good video showing you how about a month ago. Don't know his YT name.

Here is a great one. I have been slowly purchasing all the gear for softwashing. My first roof with the pump and batch mix and a quick front-of-house washdown. Will pay me more than the gear I have paid for. 3/4 & 1/2 Mixing valves, 1" manifold, check valves, connectors, hoses, filter screen, fittings, spray wand parts. I still need a water tank and tank for a surfactant, But I did buy a 30-gallon tank for batch loads. Yes, I look forward to this add-on service to my Handyman services. I will be buying a van to build out as the wash van. Parking is too hard when dragging a trailer around.

I've had the same machine for over 2 years and It’s been great. The only issue I've ever had with it is if I leave the fuel on it will very slowly drip at the bottom of the carb. I've put new gaskets in it and made sure everything was tight but still does it. So I just turn the fuel off when I'm done and run all the fuel out of the carb. It will pull from a buffer tank but it has to be primed first. I've thought about buying another one and Siamese them together for when I have large concrete cleanings.

Any reason why there was still a small amount of water coming from the unloader hose when the trigger is pulled? Seems like the unloader is not fully seating when the trigger is pulled.

You're didn't have a thermal relief on the bottom side of you're axial pump? I just got my Predator Pressure washer but it's the 3200PSI 2.8 GPM one and mine has a thermal relief valve on the bottom right beneath the water inlet with a little black plastic fitting pointing away from operator. I'm curious do I need to add the external relief unloader still like you show in this video or could I run a hose connected to the thermal relief valve and running to my reservoir tank?

@@crossfiregaming9541the thermal relief valve is not going to protect you anything like this valve.

If you think you’re someone that may make that mistake then I’d add this.

I've used it on predator, Simpson, DeWalt, and all the homemade ones I built for some guys. It really does work!

@@catfisher420 sounds like a bad unloader valve. I'm not sure if adding an external unloader valve would fix this problem but I would love to know if it does. I just never had this problem to try it out for myself. But yeah, it sounds like your unloader valve isn't releasing the pressure causing your machine to overload. Also might blow a hose. I could be wrong though but that's my guess.

@@SandeepRehal-eb1km sorry to hear that. what pressure washer do you have? Do you have a pressure gauge? Remember, you have to have the external unloader psi turned down lower than the factory unloader. Do you have the flow going in the correct direction, it needs to be facing away from the pressure washer.

Good question my friend. Let's say you are in the middle of a house wash and the customer pats you on the back to ask you a quick question or you have to run back to the truck to grab something. It happens a lot! Anyways, At this point you are not holding the trigger down anymore and cold water is no longer flowing. The unloader valve that comes with your machine has told the pump to stop pulling more water from your water source. The water now has nowhere to go and it is just sitting in the pump spinning around and around getting very hot. All it takes a few minutes and your pump is taking damage to the seals inside. If you continue to do this house after house your pump will not last long at all. That's why a lot of guys are installing this external unloader valve.

There is a much easier cheaper way to do this. Years ago on a machine just like this one, I bought a thermal relief valve that screwed right into the pump, just removed one of the brass plugs to put it in. They cost around 10 to 20 bucks. Also, if you really want to play it safe with the pump, add a float valve switch to the tank, so that when it is almost empty, it shuts the engine off, fairly easy to tie it into the on/off switch. As you probably know, if it runs out of water, it can destroy the pump fairly quickly.
@MyPressureWashingBusiness
@MyPressureWashingBusiness 6 ай бұрын
Hi, This machine comes with a thermal relief valve already installed but keeping water running through the pump is not what thermal relief valve is for. By the time the relief valve pops the pump has already reached a very hot temperature.
