    Hi,
    I hope this is not a dumb question. I have a 4400 psi @ 4.0 gpm pressure washer with the AAA triplex pump and honda engine. It also has a thermal relief valve. Do i still need to put a open bypass to my unit? Or is thermal relief value enough?
    Is the bypass for larger pressure washer with a 5.5 and 8.0 gpm with belt drive?

  • @WallyJ2K
    @WallyJ2K 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video... so every time you stop pulling the trigger the water stops coming out of your buffer tank and your unloader is adding water to your buffer tank. Can't your buffer tank overfill if you're off the trigger too long?

    @bankruptsee 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I bought a 4gpm 4000 psi BE pressure washer.. has GX390 and General Pump 4040 with external unloader.. it's a direct drive unit.. can this pump use a buffer tank to supply and dump water? I'd imagine that I can't use the buffer tank to supply water since it's a direct drive.. but if I plumb the unloader to the tank to prevent overheating, I'm afraid the tank will over fill. Any suggestions on how to use a buffer tank with a direct drive pump?

    So, the plumbing for your water source goes from your buffer tank to the garden hose hook up on the pressure washer? Where does the pump get the water pressure from to feed the pump? I do understand the recirculation from the unloader valve. I’m not new to this, I’m wanting to do the best I can to keep my equipment from breaking.
    Thanks in advance for the info and for this video!

    • @MrNick-
      @MrNick- 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you pressure washer is a belt driven washer, than you should be able to pull water from a buffer tank. If the washer is direct drive then most likely you will not be able to, and in that case will need water pressure from the property. GPM should not play a factor in this, it’s all about which type of pressure washer you have. Belt driven or direct drive

    I always wondered why people say never leave the pressure washer run without squeezing the trigger. Cuz it will mess up the pump. So what if I’m washing a house or roof or driveway by myself on a job and it’s a far way away and I need to stop. Do I need to run fast as I can to the pressure washer and turn it off before it messes anything up? I’m not sure how other people run a business by their self without someone by the pressure washer turning it off fast. I’m just starting up and trying to figure out what everything on the pressure washer does. All those in and out hoses. I got a brand new north star and it takes so many pulls to even get it started. Is there something I’m not doing right to get it to start on first pull? Wish there was like a small electric motor that cuts it off if you let off the trigger and starts up once you press it. But a gas powered one. Or remote start or something to where it makes it easier on the machine
