Pressure Washer Question - 03-20-2007, 10:44 PM

OK, Squirtgun....lol

I am looking at setting my Pressure Washer to recycle the water back to my tank. How do I do it? What is needed? Not even sure my PW pump is capable???

Any info, links, pics, or advice is appreciated.

I remember someone said how to do this they even had a couple pics there is a post somewhere on this site that said it already. Search a bunch of different titles and see if it pops up. Good luck sorry i dont remember the name.

I think truedetailer had a post about it. I believe you need a certain type of pump w/ a bypass unloader valve. I plan on doing the same if I can ever get my damn trailer finished.

Yea. I think I am unable to. I have a Karcher pump. Will take some pics later.

Tex,

While working on the trailer Monday, I stopped into HOTSY pressure washing systems. They own a shop right next to my dads warehouse where I was working. Don't know if Hotsy is national or local, but the guy told me if you let go of the trigger, and water stops comming out, you already have an unloader. I initially thought that an unloader circulated water back into the tank like you described, but he said it is not needed. They do have a heat/pressure relief valve that opens up when you pump reaches 130* and spits water back into your tank to help cool your pump off, is this what you speak of?
