since the cold weather is on its way or already here in some areas what do you guys do to winterize your power washers. i just drain mine and it gets stored indoors where its warm. anyone have any better methods
Last winter, I did the same. When I got it out to use in the spring, the pump didn't wanna stay "engaged" I had to take it part and clean it. So this year I'm gonna run dawn dish soap through the pump and NOT drain. Won't know if it's a better method till spring.
I think one of my biggest problems with this is, my water is on the "hard" side.
I'm hoping it will keep the valves from sticking. I've bin runnin alittle soap through after every use, this season. It seems to keep it operating smoother. Time will tell.
Thanks for the welcome. I came over here from the MTF forum. I know the product I listed is a bit high but it will treat the PW for 2-3 years. I spray into thepump and leave it connected until spring so it doesn't run out. Then put up and HOPE I can find it the next fall.
