Pressure Washer Attachment?

Q. I recently bought a Karcher K7.85 pressure washer. After spending an hour setting it up I realized that i could not connect it to my external water supply. On the actual unit itself is a hole for an attachment so that you can connect a hose pipe to it. Unfortunately karcher want the consumer to go and buy it.

Ive looked in Homebase but no luck for the attachment. Please could somebody advise me where i could buy this attachment i.e. website. Thanks (by the way a uk website only)

how to unclog main drain with pressure washer?

Dave

Answer
You can build or buy a sewer jetter attachment for your pressure washer for less than $150. A sewer jetter is a thin, high-pressure hose with a jet nozzle that pulls the hose into the drain and breaks up the clog. With a sewer jetter you typically start from the main drain cleanout outside your home or in your basement, or from a drain opening such as an inlet under a sink that's upstream of the clog. Search online for "build or buy a pressure washer sewer jetter."

Water Hose to pressure washer quick attachment?

Richard

I'm looking for the quick attachment that goes from the pressure washer to the water hose. My Pressure washer is the (Briggs & Stratton "chore master" > Model CV-2100-OMBC). I'm not sure if I'm looking at the wrong parts or what but everything I find doesn't work for my hose. Please help.

Answer
Although the engine is a Briggs & Stratton the pressure washer was manufactured by a different company. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer of the pressure washer; Mi-T-M. They will have the information on what size fitting the pressure hose is.

Hoseless pressure washer?

xxfirerica

I have a townhouse with no access to water hose. The front entrance always gets bird droppings around windows and stucco and get dirty. Is there such a thing as a hoseless pressure washer to blast away dirt and keep front entrance clean since i have no access to water hose?

Answer
Yes there is, but they cost a little extra. You can get a tank for your pressure washer so that you will not have to hook it up to a faucet. Most of these pressure washers come on a trailer or a skid, though, since the tanks are so large. You will then be able to fill the tank somewhere else, and then use it around your townhouse. It should be noted, though, that a hose is still required to run from the outlet on the pressure washer to the wand or attachment you are using to clean with.

To clean stucco, you will not want to use too much pressure. I'll include a link to a guide in my sources that says you should set your washer somewhere between 1,500 and 2,500 PSI and still test it on an inconspicuous area before washing the whole wall with it.

Is it ok to run bleach though a pressure washer?

daltol2

hello, this weekend i am pressure washing a aluminum sided house, and we are using TSP mixed with Bleach to remove the green "algae" from the sides, i was wondering is it ok to run diluted bleach through a pressure washer without harm being done?

Answer
You will be fine.Most good power washers have a "crows foot"attachment for this--you just put it in the bucket or jug of whatever solution you are using and it draws it into the water stream,diluting it as it does it.
If you have concerns about the residual bleach in the washer just run plain old water through it for a minute.

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

Willing2Wo

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

Is there a tool I can attach to my pressure washer nozzle that will maintain a consistant distance?

pressure washer attachments image

izmondo

Something that would roll on two wheels maybe. I've seen the type called water brooms, not really what I'm looking for. I'm looking for an attachment for my existing gun nozzle. Something that would make cleaning my deck more efficient.
I found an item similar to what I mean here :

Answer
Well you could spend like 80 bucks and buy a used one of those pressure things. They are crazy strong and get whatever the heck they hit clean. Here is a sight with a picture of one (it is like really expensive):
