pressure washer adapters image
Q. The new pressure gun I received had a female end on it so it wouldn't attach to the wand which also has a female end on it. Are there adaptors that I can purchase which would connect the new gun with the original wand? or do I have to purchase a new wand for the gun?
Answer
This it?

I didn't see anything in the manual.
Try taking the hose, wand, or both to a hardware store. They might be able to match up an adapter.
A small engine/equipment repair or rental outfit might have such an adapter they will sell you... or at least turn you on to a source.

Can you use a pressure washer attachment on a regular water hose or is the high-pressure machine needed?

My needs are modest. I simply want to do things like reach some high spots on my house to get rid of spider webs, or light dirt.
Answer
By an attachment I assume you mean the WAND and SPRAY TIP for the end of the hose.
The distance the water travels and the force that it cleans with are directly related to the PRESSURE, as is the volume of water that discharged.
If you reduce the pressure to that of a Garden Hose Spigot on your house your reach is correspondingly reduced.
The bigger issue for you is that the Pressure Washer Wand does not have the same threaded connections as a Garden Hose, and some do not have common connections.
If you are not prepared to purchase even the lower pressure range household pressure washers, sold by people like Home Depot or Walmart for as little as $85.00, then you might want to try a Lower cost alternative to a Pressure Washer Wand first.
There are Garden Hose WATERING Wands, up to 48" long, with Female Garden Hose Thread on the inlet and Male GHT on the outlet.
You can also buy short SWEEPER nozzles with GHT that have a small diameter outlet that concentrate the flow and maintain the pressure in the line. This works like when you were a kid squezzing off the flow at the end of the hose with your thumb and the water shoots farther, or in simple terms restict the flow and the water pressure behind it increases (up to a point).
I have seen these in Garden Supply stores, Hardware Stores (seasonally) and Home Supply stores, like Lowes and Home Depot (seasonally).
Another nozzle that can restrict the flow even further is an Adjust-a-Power Nozzle, which is a short twist nozzle that has an interior rubber tube pinched by bearings to create a finer stream with the most hitting force and reach possible from the 100 PSI or less available from your household water supply.
Keep in mind that the smaller the nozzle orifice the smaller the flow rate, at a given pressure, and if it is the volume of water you are depending on to do the cleaning, you may take a while.
If you go the route of a traditional Pressure Washer Wand and tip, you will need to make sure you get an adapter (or a series of adapters) to convert to the thread needed for the inlet connection on the Pressure Washer Wand. That done you are again limited by the 100 PSI or less available from your household water supply.
Good Luck
