Helpful Tips

Pressure Washers
After using your hot water pressure washer, take time to cool down the coil after use. Turn the burner off and run the machine until the metal lance feels cool to the touch. Heated water pulls the metals out of hard water and allows them to collect on coils and chokes them down.

Testing for a choked coil is easy. If your pressure gauge still shows excellent pressure, but the performance seems minimized:

Remove the nozzle from the end of the wand. Shoot into a bucket that is greater in volume than the designated gallons-per-minute of your pressure washer. Continue shooting into the bucket for one minute. If the gallons in the bucket are less than the designated gallons-per-minute of your machine, there is a flow restriction. The probable cause is a buildup in your coil. Call us at 260-432-9467 or 800-252-7238 to schedule a cleaning of your coil.

Floor Scrubbers
Be sure to check your squeegee. If the leading edge touching the floor is rounded, it's time to replace the squeegee or at least flip it over/backwards. Check the water level in your batteries (unless using gel batteries) once a week and clean the tops of the batteries as well. Be sure to rinse the recovery tank with a hose every time you use the equipment. Remove your brushes and rinse them each day for longer life. Allow to hang and dry overnight.
