To use it in a pressure washer, does the machine need to be running?

I did not have mine running when I discharged some of the contents of the can into the washer. You only need a little of the contents so it can be used more then once.

no, just attach the pressurized can and it blows out any water and adds the chemicals. It is good for several uses.

No, it does not need to be running. I see there are several answers all look correct.

No, the machine needs to be off. Just attach to the pump suction and give it a squirt. It takes very little and the the can is good for several applications.

No, the pressure washer must be off and the water hose and spray hose disconected.It is used for storing and keeping the seals plyable as well as preventing freezing.

No it does not need to be running. Simply connect the can to the inlet and spray. The water should come out of the outlet. That is all.

Edrick, from what I read, you need to have sufficient water pressure to make the pressure washer work. If you want to use collected water, you can purchase a small, 1/3 hp submersible pump that will connect to a garden hose for $30 to $40.00. Put this in your tank, and run a hose to the pressure washer.

Sounds like you would need an adopter, Please try to be sure that the adopter can be used at the highest pressure possible by the pressure washer.

Shouldn't be a problem. The pressure washer will boost the pressue to the needed levels...in fact, that is what they are designed to do.

Well it's not a pressure washer but you will be surprised how powerful your water pressure can be. I believe it will do it.

Of course you could use it with a pressure washer. Since the hose would be feeding the pressure washer, the pressure would be the same as any other use. People who speak of too much pressure must be thinking in terms of the output pressure of the washer, which would not accept a normal hose. That said, this hose is junk. Mine ruptured under normal conditions on my 3rd use. The manufacturer only has a 90 day warranty (this should be the first indication of poor quality)

No. It has a rubber O-ring on the connection. I assume eventually if the O-ring wears out, you would need to buy a washer. However, out of the box no washer is needed.

Hi. I work in the power equipment industry. Most electric pressure washers have the wand(sprayer) attached to the hose permanently. If yours is like that this will not work. If however, your wand is removable this will most likely work as it comes with 2 different size quick connect adapters and regular hose thread. I hope this info helps.

no,I dont think so if u mean does it only run when u need it. It . runs continually when turned on. When it reaches its max. of 60psi it will began to cycle on &off;, but u can install a gage and do a by bypass below 60psi.

This power washer is very easy to use, change pressure. Pressure can be dangerous, very very strong

I don't know about using it as a pressure washer, I don't think so. I used mine to seal a deck with latel sealer and I have used it many times for latex paint, will also work for oil.

I don't have a power washer, but i am sure it would be fine. This is the best degreaser I have found. It is not flammable and does not irritate the skin. I use it full strength in a spray bottle.

I don't think I would use it on a pressure washer, as the three holes are only about the size of a pencil lead and produce a fine spray with just household water pressure from a garden hose. I would think it would put too much strain on the pressure washer.

I have never used it in a power washer....I've only used it from a spray pump or spray bottle and then used a regular garden hose and I've used a power washer after I have let this product sit for a while...but really a garden hose is good because this oil eater does just that...no elbow grease needed for sure.... I use it in auto engine compartments and undercarriages. It's fabublous!

My pressure sprayer only applies soap at low pressure. Apply the cleaner first and the add Karcher to your pressure washer and clean away, Mine unit works like a champ without any cleaner, have fun!

No. It fits on the end of a regular garden hose and is designed for producing a gentle mist/fog. We use it in a greenhouse to keep the humidity up. There's really no use I can think of for connecting it to a pressure washer.

The output of the pump is 3.0 gallons a minute. Your supply water should exceed that. I would not trust a gravity flow to supply the pump. Keep in mind that when your water level drops in your tank the water flows slower to your pump. Too little flow to your pressure washer equals a burnt up pump. My short answer is no. It cannot. It's a great pressure washer tho.
