How do pressures hoses and washers work? Pressure coming from taps and faucets is just regular or low right? So what creates the high pressure?

Pressure washers are part garden hose and part air compressor. A typical pressure washer has a motor that is either powered by gasoline or electricity. This motor powers the air intake system, which builds air pressure in an accompanying tank. A garden hose hooked up to the washer provides water to a separate tank.The washer is hooked to a high pressure-rated hose. At the end of the hose is a water gun that looks similar to the pressure guns used at car washes. When the trigger is pulled, the water mixes with the air and comes out of the nozzle.

The water comes out of the house through a hose which is connected to the pressure washer, water gets pumped out of the machine at high pressure due to the engine and pump on the pressure washer and into the pressure washer hose like this Simpson hose through the spray gun which is connected to the other end of the pressure hose

it uses the pressure of the incoming water to create a vacuum that flushes, whichever button/lever you use. There is no tank of water, thus, if the water is turned off, it will not flush...that is normal.

the system is pressure compensating not the drippers. There is a pressure regulator at the faucet that regulates everything.

recommended for minimum 3000psi power washer. Regular hose can't produce the pressure.

I use a normal water pressure hose, however it will work with lower water pressure, I hold my finger over the top hole and I get heavy heavy foam, I love this thing its great.

Yes, the pressure is adjustable. There is an adjustment knob at the bottom of the washer under the water inlet connection with which to accomplish this. It, however, can not be seen on the picture you see on the web. There is a 30 page manual that list all of the features of the washer and it can be downloaded but you will need Adobe Reader in order to get it. Hope this is a satisfactory answer to your question.

This unit only heats water supplied to it under pressure. I would think however you get cold water from you tap would supply the cold water to this heater. If your cold water faucet also activates a pump the same would be needed for the hot water faucet.

YES! We have low pressure. It is like hooking up a power washer to a garden hose. There aren't a bunch of settings, but you can adjust it to be less intense. I highly recommend this product. I have had one for over 10 years.

"Most" pressure washers use common high pressure fittings but there is no guarantee until you try. I bought this extension hose & it is very high quality. Note that it comes with one (1) threaded fitting; two (2) male high pressure fittings & one (1) female high pressure fitting. If it doesn't fit your pressure washer, perhaps set the hose up as male-by-male, put the female fitting on your pressure washer pump and at the worst, you would need a new wand with the Karcher compatible female fitting.

I can not imagine how that would work. A pressure washer has a feed through pump that can take in 60 PSI water and put out 1200 / 3600 PSI . The air compressor is for air only , but you could buy what is called an air knife to connect to it and have a hand held or pole mounted dryer that would be like a squeegee to push the water off after you had pressure wasted something . There are small electric pressure washers in this price range that work ok.

Pressure is controlled by your faucet handle. I have my own well so it has all the ups and downs of a pump system. This has never proved to be a problem. The longer I have the system the more I appreciate it. I am an older person with severe mobile limitations so this system has proved to be crucial to my hygeine needs.

Too many unknowns to answer directly, could be anything from valve not opened fully to sediment knocked loos and lodging in your faucets. The unit itself should not appreciably affect water pressure; in spite of differences in heating mechanism, it is still just a water-in-water-out canister.

There are charts with price sizes versus PSI pressure. You need to know your pressure washer's output then look on a chart for the correct size.

I love the fixture, but our pressure decreased dramatically after I installed it as well. We've kinda gotten used to it, but it's not normal and I really wish I had more pressure at times, especially when filling large pots with water. I hope there is a way to adjust it. My pipes were clean and strong, and my hoses were brand new. It's the fixture.

This unit is designed to work with a non pressurized source, for instance a tank placed below the level of the faucet. I'm not sure if there are any that would work for pressurized and not pressurized sources in one unit, although if you can I would keep it simple and use this unit for the tank and get a regular faucet for the pressurized source.

The pressure is steady. There is a release on the pump handle so one can manually simulate the behavior you mention if needed.

These heads seem to fit most, if not all, wands but are sized by the volume of water to be pushed through them to result in the planned pressure. There are charts to compare gpm to nozzle rating to produce rated pressure. Read this http://www.the-power-washer-advisor.com/pressure_washer_nozzles.html#NozzleChart
