4 Tips for Repairing Your Karcher Pressure Washer

The Karcher pressure washer is a powerful cleaning tool when it runs properly. However, pressure washer owners should always be prepared for potential problems.

Whether you are dealing with damage to various parts of the machine or a faulty electrical source, the experts at Crown Cleaning Systems have provided Ohio residents with four tips for troubleshooting your Karcher pressure washer.

  1. Store your pressure washer properly

An improperly stored pressure washer during the cold months in Ohio can lead to  serious damage. Before putting your Karcher pressure washer in storage, ensure that all parts have been removed. This will make it easier for you to clear out any excess water that remains inside the machine, to avoid freezing and subsequent damages.

  1. Check the water pressure

If your Karcher pressure washer is not receiving adequate water pressure, one of the parts may need to be repaired. A common sign of low water pressure is when the machine begins to vibrate. The fix for this problem could be as simple as turning your water on properly or untangling a hose. However, if the machine still does not seem to be working well, you may need to inspect the hose for leaks and obstructions. If the hose appears to be in good condition, it’s also worth inspecting the nozzle for dirt that may be blocking the flow of water.

  1. Beware of blockage in your hose and other attachments

If parts of your Karcher pressure washer such as the bypass valves or hose seem to be pulsing, this may be another sign of blockage or an improperly uncoiled hose. If coiling does not appear to be the source of the problem, inspect each attachment for materials that may be causing blockage, disconnect the Karcher pressure washer from its electrical source, and clean all parts by running water through the hose and washing the accessories with warm water.

  1. Ensure that it’s properly connected to an electrical power source

Your Karcher pressure washer may be cutting out while you are trying to use it because it’s losing electrical power. If you have an extension cable attached to the machine, ensure it is no longer than 13 meters or it will not be able to secure an adequate connection.

Pressure Washers: Should You Buy or Rent?

Ohio residents who are looking for a powerful cleaning tool often find it difficult deciding whether to buy a pressure washer or explore rental options. There are several factors that will determine whether you will be better off buying or renting a pressure washer.

The team at Crown Cleaning Systems has provided a list of things to consider when looking into the pressure washer options in Ohio.

A variety of cleaning models

Ohio residents who are considering pressure washer rental options for their commercial or residential space will have the advantage of variety. Renting one of these machines means that you will not have to commit to a single pressure washer model.

Pressure washer models from companies such as Crown Cleaning Systems range from gas to electric power sources, as well as various levels of pressure, sizes, and water temperature. Rental options will allow you to capitalize on different types of cleaning for various jobs. The cleaning specialists at Ohio’s Crown Cleaning Systems can provide expert advice and a convenient delivery service for each pressure washer rental so that you are prepared for every cleaning job.

Fluctuating prices

While variety is a great advantage to pressure washer rental in Ohio, customers will be subject to various price points depending on a few factors. Different cleaning jobs will require various lengths of rental time and specific machinery to get the best clean. This means that the total price will likely change each time you rent, depending on your needs.

At Crown Cleaning Systems, we’re committed to finding cost-efficient options that will fit into your budget. However, for those who prefer the peace of mind that comes with paying a single price and owning the machine, buying may be a better option.

Constant access

Ohio residents should consider how often they plan on using their pressure washer, and whether it may always be more practical to have one on hand. Regardless of your skill level, the team at Crown Cleaning Systems is happy to provide instructions and demonstrations, so that you can properly use your pressure washer.

If you do not have a constant need for a pressure washer, however, rental options may be more suitable, as the knowledgeable team at Crown Cleaning Systems will be able to recommend a device that is best for the task at hand each time you rent.
