How can i tell what pressure my pressure washer is at?




N/A


I have a 3800 psi dewalt pressure washer and im wanting to turn it down to about 3000-3300 psi but im not sure to tell what psi im at while turning the pressure down.
If anyone could help me out id appreciate it!
Thanks!



Answer
What you would have to do is connect a pressure gauge between the end of the hose and the gun. Run the pressure washer with the gun's trigger pressed so there's water flow and check the pressure it is shooting water. To adjust it to the pressure you want you can either use the unloader to regulate pressure or adjust the engine's rotation which would also regulate pressure.
If you need a gauge here is the link to a 5000 psi one. There are more on the website in case you think this one is too much.

Pressure test failed, plumbing?




Roni


We are going to buy a foreclosed home. On condition report , it says pressure test failed and washer connector broken. Bank wont allow us to turn on water to inspect for leaks. Is this a risky buy, since we cant test plumbing. Is there any other good way to test the plumbing? what could worst happen if the pressure test has always failed?


Answer
If you have an air compressor you can hook it to one faucet, Put a pressure gauge on another faucet and open both faucets to pressure check the system. Once the compressor shuts off (system pressurized) close the faucet with the compressor and watch the pressure gauge to see if it holds it's reading. If it drops you have a leak. With air in the system leaks can be detected by using a spray bottle of soapy water to spray connections. Leaky connections will make bubbles.
