How did you hook up that hose to the quick connect for the bypass
@crossfiregaming95419 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.

I have a Hudson float valve on it so it stays full. But I usually shut the water off when I'm finishing up a job and I get like 10-15 minutes of surface cleaning time with the 4gpm

Hi, bro its not working in my pressure wash, do you know why
@MyPressureWashingBusiness5 ай бұрын
@@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.

Can you please send the links for the pressure gauge and the quick connects you used in the video. You showed the like to the Pulsar4khp uploader, but only that info. Please let me know about the others.

excuse my ignorance but why does the water get hot in the pump? isnt it still running even with no water going through it and wouldnt cold water cool it down? cuz its direct drive? thats where the heat comes from? and does it really keep the pump cold with no water going through? im just ordering equipment now but soon ill be the top pressure washer in my area =D

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.

do you use a buffer tank for your machine
@MyPressureWashingBusiness10 ай бұрын
Yes, my pressure washer is drawing off a gravity fed buffer tank. I actually just posted a video explaining how it works. The Video is called "small pressure washer on buffer tank"

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.

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.

Hi, Yes it will work on your simpson, I actually have a few close pressure washing friends that have that same machine with the bypass on them!
@falklan8 ай бұрын
Are you certain that's not a pressure regulator on that pump? It is no bypass if there's no bypass.
