I am so happy that you took the time to explain this. I've never used a pressure washer, and I finally purchased one. I had serious issues with the air built up in the hose. I am a single woman over 50 and had no idea what I was/am doing. Now that I finally located your video, (not easy to find online). Maybe because other users know what they're doing. 😂 Thanks so much.
Ditto Carol. 50 something single woman playing with a pressure washer. After the water hose connection on the tap came loose I couldn't get the thing to work again properly, thought I killed it 🤣. Thank you Aaron!
Great explanation. Here’s what I’ve done to minimize the time spent running air through my machine: I installed a quarter-turn shutoff valve at the end of my water hose, so I turn on my water and run all air out of water hose, then I shut off water with quarter-turn valve at hose end. Then I just attach water hose to pressure washer, open quarter turn valve, then I bleed air through pressure washer / hose before attaching wand assembly - this procedure moves the air out very quickly.
UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust th-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.
I was looking for a video on my power washer to help me tare it down and try to fix it ,but luckily for me and my machine I found this video instead. I won't hesitate to go to wrenching on it but I'm going to try your idea first. I didn't know it could take that long to purge. Thank you you may have saved me and my machine.
Thanks so much for this. We could not power wash last year due to illness so it has been 2 years and everything you showed was what was going on. I had to take plyers to get the tip off but once I did, the machine came alive. It was just as you said. Thank you.
Wow, I’ve looked everywhere for a solution and thank goodness I ran across your video because I was ready to put my 1yr old power washer to the curb! Thank you! Thank you!
Man, you helped me feel better about my pressure washer. I was having the same problem. I always let the water just flow through the line before I use it but this time I guess I did not do it enough and it would not pressurize. I am going to try this again, but this time thoroughly water the lawn first. Thanks
Wow, Alinsdau! You just saved me buying a new pump for pressure washer I use on top of my Dock. I attached a Y connector to the Pressure Washer let the air bleed out then turned it off and opened up the one connected to washer. Instant pressure! Appreciate you man!
@RoamingShark Came across this video last year and it saved me from buying a new pressure washer because I thought the pump was crap. My problem is having patience to stand there for five minutes every time I use it (100 ft hose). Your Y connector suggest is "Gold". Just ordered one from Amazon.
Question..Forgive my understanding here. How are you purging the air from one side? It seems like it's open(with nothing connected to it) than turned off. Meanwhile the water source is connected to the other side and is just waiting to be turned on. Another question..does limiting the pass thru from a 3/4 inch hose thru the smaller valve ball reduce the amount of water (GPM)going to the washer itself? Thanks.
Nice vid. Thanks. I will mention that I've found that my older gas powered pressure washer has trouble starting with full water pressure, so I had to do it a little differently. I run the hose to release the air , then with water running and air relieved, I loosely attach the hose to the unit, start the motor and then tighten the hose fully. This works great for me. Again, thanks!
Thank you Lord for allowing me to find your video!!! You’re a blessing! We got so discouraged when it sounded like the pump wasn’t working after we even thought we primed it sufficiently! You sir are appreciated!!!!
Thank you! It helped me! I was waiting for 30 seconds, how it was specified in documentation. But the device stopped working after several seconds. I tried to delete the nozzle and let the water go for 5 minutes. After that the device started working properly.
Can't be stressed enough that all air must be purged before putting on a pressure tip. I like to put the feed hose on loosely, turn on the water at the house and back the hose nut off as far as I can with out it coming off to purge most of the air from the feed hose. Depending on how long your feed hose is it can save 5 -10 minutes evacuating the air. Take the time it takes to do it right and the unit will last a long time. Great video.
Oh,.. I've been running the water forever! I feel like what you discussed is my problem. I didn't read the instructions correctly at first and ran the water for a minute after i connected it (i thought to make sure the water really ran through) instead of before, and i'm sure totally got a lot of air in the machine. I bet I have run the water (without the power washer motor running) for atleast 30min total now if not more and still the same pressure when I turn on the machine. Am I missing something? Any other tips before I return it?
The machine is brand new, and you helped me learn how to troubleshoot it. It primed, but still wouldn't work when I attached the wand. The reason was that the person I had loaned it to returned it with the tip clogged and the coupler seized up with gravel. At least it didn't cost me any $$$. Thanks!
Thank you for the video, very helpful. I will have a try. I used my pressure washer today, then I took a hour break.whne I back to use it ,it just like what you showed in your video. The pressure goes down and up and down again. I actually bought a brand new one just started using the first day!! So I was thinking that it went fault. I will try your way to see if this is the reason.
Thanks for the video. I've been dealing with this issue for years but just ignored it. Thought it was the pump. The demo was great because it is exactly the same thing. I'll purge the line extensively from now on.
Hey man thanks for the video I’m going to try this tomorrow because I’m having a problem with my robi 1800 and it’s new. Would it matter that I have a 8 foot hose going from the pressure washer to a 50 ft hose reel.
Life saver. Was about to take my newly bought toy back to the warranty until I watched this video. Super helpful 👍 Edit: I was so eager to find out if this solution actually works that I got up at night to test it myself
@@ALinsdau It worked I turned on the machine and ran water without the tip on the wand it took about a minute it burped twice, now works perfect thanks much
Great Video and thanks for the tip. ALSO, thank you for getting straight to the point and NOT spending the first few minutes babbling (like over videos by other people).
Here's a trick I've found that eliminates most of the air problem: add a hose shut-off valve to the end of the hose that goes into the washer, and turn it to shut before removing the hose (and I also have a quick release connection that goes between the valve and the washer). That way, the water doesn't squirt all over the place when the hose is removed, and there's hardly any air in the hose when you go to reconnect the hose.
The GODS just saved my Husqvarna 2000 electric pressure washer and saved me about $500 . I was about yo trash it and buy a gas unit. Thank you my guy. I have been toying with this thing for about an hour in the yard. I tried your suggestion and bam! Water works and the pump is humming like a bird
Hey Aaron. Would a shorter garden hose be the best option for less air? I just got a 3 foot one so it’ll be the best for my pressure washer instead of the 20+ foot one I was using beforehand
Good job bro! You're the man. I haven't even done it yet but I know it that's what it is. You know I kind of thought maybe it needed to be primed because it didn't start right when I hook the hose up. I was going to try that anyway but now I know for sure thank you
Right on the money! I always flush water through the washer for about a minute to make sure that the pump is filled with water before I power it up. However, sometimes that's not enough and air bubble is still there when I use a 100' hose. If I experience a pressure drop and the pump reving like in this video, I power off the washer and flush more.
Great informative video. I had this problem yesterday and was trying to think of a better way to remove air. What if we put a ball valve on the end of the hose, ran the hose until there’s a solid steam, then close the valve. Hook up the other end to the washer, and open the valve to feed the air free water!
Hi Aaron, I am a little confused. Do you "water the lawn" with pump on or off. In the video you showed both ways. The problem I am having is similar but a little different. The motor will come on and the 1st few seconds after pulling the trigger will be high pressure and then only a single tiny stream. When I release the trigger the pump seems to build up pressure and the same thing happens.
I have a Diamond washer made for them by Karcher. I have never had this problem. I plug the water in and turn it on then pull the trigger. Always works. Been going fine for 20 years until a seal gave way 2 weeks ago. Replaced this and works fine again.
So, I thought I broke the company pressure washer, because I had to disconnect it and move it. Reconnected and turned it on and it was making those god awful sounds. I got depressed and sat in my car. Then went on TH-cam and found this video. You helped put me at ease knowing I did NOT break a $2000 machine. I went back inside and just let it run for a good few minutes. So. Much. Air. Working fine again. Thanks so much.
Your videos are super helpful. I have this unit and ran into this very problem yesterday. My frustration was eased by your video and I can't wait to go out and fix my problem/not a problem. Thanks!
Great video but I did this and no dice. Same Ryobi as you but my concern is that I'm on well water and I used it last year and I I didn't really drain anything.
Hi!I have the same model, but when need changes the nozzle for spread soap, simply doesn't work. I need to check it tomorrow. Thank you so much for the video.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to product this excellent, easy to understand, video tutorial on the issue of air causing problems with pressure washers. Very informative and to the point. Keep up the good work!
My sun joe trips the breaker even after installing a new gfci plug. The first time turning it on it had low pressure, then it trip. Changed the plug and it immediately tripped. Any ideas? Thank you
My situation, pressure washer running fine, then I stop to change tips, and when I restart the pressure washer unit stops. I have to reset the breaker on the cord. Don't know why this happens. New unit
So ive had mine for about 4 years and only used it once. Everytime I would be using it, it would start to smoke so badly that I had to turn it off. What could be the problem. I bought it brand new from Home Depot and it has oil and gas in it. Please help!!
I'll try it. That is exactly what happened to mine. Before I use a sledge hammer I'll try your trick.. First day worked well for a couple of hours. I'll come back and report. Thank You.
Hey did you happen to know if I was to spay mine without a nozzle it would blow my o-ring out then I gotta find it or make sure I have an extra I’m surprised that yours don’t leak
That was great! Nice job! Makes me want to pick you brain on some other things I need to learn about just so I can have you teach me in a private lesson, lol, one on one!
Maybe I am not understanding, but couldn't you turn the hose on (before connecting to the pressure washer) and wait until waters is coming out, then(turn off water just long enough to connect the hose to the pressure washer, then turn water back on? Wouldn't that clear most of the air, and you wouldn't have to clear it for 5 mins? Thanks!
Hi As soon as I put on the machine the hose kicks out and the whole thing starts to smoke. Machine is just over two years old Took it to someone who said motor is damaged You think this is retrievable?
I have the exact pressure washer . Recently I’m experiencing a problem when I’m pressure washing the car , it randomly loses pressure then it gets pressure again. What’s the problem?
@@thewiseguy7100 yes every time you use it just purge the air out. I suggest keeping the machine off and connect your hose to it and just press the wand and let the water come out until it’s a steady stream. If you try to purge the air out while the machine is on it could damage the pump and decrease the life span on it.
I just purchased today and cannot get water to come out at all: we are on tank water so it is gravity fed but the previous cheaper unit we owned worked fine I don’t know what to do do you have any ideas
Thanks I saw your video for this problem because I faced it several times and I didn’t know the solution for this problem Air trapped in the hose was the reason Thanks 🙏
Ok I just bought the 2700 psi ryobi. I sat with it off running water through it for 5min. Turned it on to see if it would work but nope. With it on if i let off the trigger the motor turns on then sounds like it releases air. I guess ill run water through it for 10min. Wish me luck
Any recommendations for a pressure washer that has zero flow to the hose? I replaced the unloader valve (the old one was extremely blocked with mineral buildup) but that has not solved the issue. My fear is that there is more mineral buildup internally that is blocking the system. Any ideas or recommendations would be awesome. Thanks!
I am so happy that you took the time to explain this. I've never used a pressure washer, and I finally purchased one. I had serious issues with the air built up in the hose.

Have you tried running the water through your hose first to get the air out then connect it to the power washer? Would that be easier?
Yes, I've run the hose but still end up with some air for a while in the compressor.
You should really end your video showing you actually fixing and seeing after the fix how it sustains the pressure.
Thanks for the comments.

Hi Aaron, I am a little confused. Do you "water the lawn" with pump on or off. In the video you showed both ways. The problem I am having is similar but a little different. The motor will come on and the 1st few seconds after pulling the trigger will be high pressure and then only a single tiny stream. When I release the trigger the pump seems to build up pressure and the same thing happens.
Water the lawn with the pump off until all the air clears, then turn it on.
Thanks you so much sir, just fixed my Hart electric pressure washer, did this and 1minute started working as always,never happened to me
Great job!
Very interesting video. I just replaced my water manifold and had this problem…. I was sooo mad!
Hope it worked out.

The first time turning it on it had low pressure, then it trip. Changed the plug and it immediately tripped. Any ideas?

Is it on a 15amp circuit? Do you have other items on that circuit? Best to consult a licensed electrician - that doesn't sound good/safe.
@@ALinsdau yes, it's on a 15 Amp circuit. Nothing else on that circuit. Sun Joe help is worthless.

Kinda confused , is the pump running when he’s watering his lawn with the tip off?
Doesn’t sound like it
I keep the pump off until the air is cleared.
Hey did you happen to know if I was to spay mine without a nozzle it would blow my o-ring out then I gotta find it or make sure I have an extra I’m surprised that yours don’t leak
Best to check with the manufacturer for safety.
When did it rain in that place one time
Not too much rain here.
That was great! Nice job! Makes me want to pick you brain on some other things I need to learn about just so I can have you teach me in a private lesson, lol, one on one!
Thanks for watching!
What if your handle/gun doesnt let preassure build? Like it just stays on forever and you just cant get it to stop without kinking a hose somewhere?
Sounds like it needs to be serviced?
Thank you! This is exactly what my washer was doing!
Maybe I am not understanding, but couldn't you turn the hose on (before connecting to the pressure washer) and wait until waters is coming out, then(turn off water just long enough to connect the hose to the pressure washer, then turn water back on? Wouldn't that clear most of the air, and you wouldn't have to clear it for 5 mins? Thanks!
As long as you can prevent the hose from draining.
Hi
As soon as I put on the machine the hose kicks out and the whole thing starts to smoke.
Machine is just over two years old
Took it to someone who said motor is damaged
You think this is retrievable?
Might need to contact the manufacturer on that issue.

Thanks so much
I have the exact pressure washer . Recently I’m experiencing a problem when I’m pressure washing the car , it randomly loses pressure then it gets pressure again. What’s the problem?
Potentially air in the line.
@@ALinsdau Should I do the same thing you did in the video. Thank you for the response
@@thewiseguy7100 yes every time you use it just purge the air out. I suggest keeping the machine off and connect your hose to it and just press the wand and let the water come out until it’s a steady stream. If you try to purge the air out while the machine is on it could damage the pump and decrease the life span on it.
@@omarsalcedo310 Thank you! I didn’t know that and thought my Ryobi was broken .
Wish this would’ve helped . My gas ryobi pressure washer runs the same when on or off
Sorry to hear that.
Maybe getting air out of hose before attaching to pressure washer also. Thank you for the video!
Great point!
I just purchased today and cannot get water to come out at all: we are on tank water so it is gravity fed but the previous cheaper unit we owned worked fine I don’t know what to do do you have any ideas
Does any water flow with the pump off? Water should flow w/pump off.
This really helped. I initially did this but didn't realize how long you had to do it to get all the air out
Way longer that I would've thought.
I was about to through it away and then I saw your video ! Thanks!
No problem!
Once again, very helpful information❤
Thank you so much!!! I didn't even think about that!
No worries!
Thank you for demonstrating that,very helpful.
You are welcome!
What about if the nozzle doesn't shut off? It's leaking all over where it connects.
Might need an intermediate shutoff valve.
Great this wotked a treat and saved me getting bleach and a deck scrubber out, thanks!
Great to hear!
@@ALinsdau You the man, all other videos detached the gun nozzle and my version doesn't have that function 😁
Thanks I saw your video for this problem because I faced it several times and I didn’t know the solution for this problem
Air trapped in the hose was the reason
Thanks 🙏
Great 👍
Mine just has no pressure the pump is on and stays on the handheld throws wayer as if I was holding tje trigger on what could be the problem
Might want to contact the manufacturer for safety.
Thank you so much. Was thinking it was my machine.
Thanks for watching!
Not sure I saw a return to normal pressure. Just watering the lawn. What am I missing?
Is the compressor not working?
My nilfisk does that al try putting it on fr 5m8ns without nozzle run water thro then try nozzle great vid thanks
Cool, thanks
Ok I just bought the 2700 psi ryobi. I sat with it off running water through it for 5min. Turned it on to see if it would work but nope. With it on if i let off the trigger the motor turns on then sounds like it releases air. I guess ill run water through it for 10min. Wish me luck
Hope it worked out.
I was goin nuts as to why it would come on and then shut down. There was air in it. Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
What if I can’t hear anything or nothing is coming out of that part ??
Water line might be clogged.
Any recommendations for a pressure washer that has zero flow to the hose? I replaced the unloader valve (the old one was extremely blocked with mineral buildup) but that has not solved the issue. My fear is that there is more mineral buildup internally that is blocking the system. Any ideas or recommendations would be awesome. Thanks!
I HAVE SAME ISSUE. BEEN SEARCHING FOR, AN ANSWER FOR MONTHS. LITTLE HELP PLEASE
Wow what town is that would love to have a home there?
I have tried that, mine pulsates when there is to much pressure. I take my hose and kink it with lil water flowing and it works fine. Have any ideas?
Figured it out, it was the tip, I took an old tip I had and it worked just fine
Glad it worked out.
I got the same one but my only issue is when I put the 0 degree on it will not run on high only on low any advice
Perhaps try a Dewalt Nozzle - I like them better:

Is that with the pump off that your watering the lawn
Yes, pump is off.
Good thing i found your video man im about to return my high pressure washer. Thanks for the video man!!
No problem 👍
Thanks for posting. This happened to me a couple times and I could not figure it out. Good video!
No worries!
My pressure washer is making a horrible noise. It only stops when I'm using it, when pulling the trigger and the water coming through
Uh oh, time to contact the manufacturer.
It’s a beautiful area you live my friend..
Yes, thank you
@@ALinsdau Which state if u don’t mind my asking
I seriously love you man. Thank you!
Thank you
