Finally something that explains what I need to do as my unloaders built into the pump. Cheers

I’m actually glad that I came across this video. I just added pressure washing as a service to my business less than a month ago. My unit is an Easy-Kleen Magnum Gold 4000. I had to get the pump replaced because it went out after using it two or three times 5 years ago or so. I ended up replacing the old pump with an GP 4040. The biggest warning that my service manager told me, ...was to not let the unit run for no more than 45 seconds when the handle is released, so that I don’t burn up the pump. After watching this video, I’ve realized that, that is more than likely what happened with the original pump. I remember that I’d let it sit there for a period of time, while not realizing that hot water is circulating within the pump. Another reason that I’m now considering a buffer tank, is because I hate not letting the engine cool down before shutting it down like I do with my lawnmowers. Thanks for the video

Hi Jason. Thanks for all of the great videos. I just plumbed my pressure washer yesterday. I will be using a small tank with a hudson valve for the incoming water supply. I want to run the bypass hose from the unloader back to the tank. My question is how do i keep the water from the bypass hose from overflowing my tank? There are periods where i have to go on top of roofs or other situations where there is a significant time where i am not spraying. I have been letting it go on the ground but was hoping there was a way to contain it in the tank. Thanks again!

OMG -I have been looking all over for this, but when you don't know the correct terminology, it is impossible to find. Thanks much for the simple explanation. I am needing to reduce 1700 psi (none-adjustable) pressure washer down to 400 psi. And the 'unloader valve' and a buffer tank seems to be it.

What tips you use to have hardly no run off when washing roofs?

[autohog]

Just to clarify, the line from the unloader (top) should go to your H20 tank and then back into the inlet valve (bottom)? Or is that right or is it the other way around?

[jbeezostl]

does the bypass line need to be high-pressure hose or can I just hook on a barb fitting and a pvc hose?

Where do I get that plug from to plug unloaded valve after I run my Napa’s return line ?

[richardmauch]

So what happens when it’s molded into the head of the pump? How would one do a buffer tank to that?

[pavermakeover]

I have a pressure washer from northern tool with a unloader valve built into the manifold. I want to add a external unloader valve so I can dump the water on the ground to keep the manifold cool. I am curious if you haver ever just taken the guts out of the stock unloader valve so you do not have to try and get the unloader valves to play nice together. Thanks for the video.

can you clean for hot water with this machibe

[alclark]

Does your bypass line need to be high pressure hose?

[erhelitruck]

Thanks for sharing. Do you have any idea how to bypass a Predator 4400 psi 4.2gpm.

[bradspressurewashing]

I have a built in unloader valve AR pump. I saw someone use 3/8 quick connects on one of those external amazon unloaders. Instead of threading it on. Will that work also?

[jameshasudungan]

What line or hose can I use from the unloader to the buffer tank? Can I use my spare high pressure washer hose and plumb it into my buffer tank? Thanks

[RavenRaimes]

I'm buying a Simpson 4400 psi 4 gpm direct drive with built in unloader valve what psi gpm unloader valve would I need Simpson PowerShot 4400 PSI 4.0 GPM Pressure Washer – PS60843

[jdoesitall]

Does buffer tank need to be higher then the pump ? I have a 4gpermin do I really need a buffer tank

[hunntersobaszek]

So once you plug the button with a 1/4 plug. Do you take the black off off the top and plumb that to 3/4 braided line ? If so what fitting would be needed to go from where the black hose goes into the top into a 3/4 barb ? 3/8 male to 3/4 barb?
