Basic Pressure Washing tips for beginners

This Pressure Washer→ low.es/2DPaBcw
In this video, I cover the basics of pressure washing around the home using the CRAFTSMAN Gas pressure washer. The above link will take you to the Lowe's website. There are many other things you can clean with these, like cars and pool areas. You can get attachments specifically for those purposes. It's a very versatile tool!
Thank you Lowe's for sponsoring this video and supporting my channel!

    A little advice from personal experience: If you are using your pressure washer near a swimming pool, be careful to not let the pressure washer vibrate itself into the pool.

    Pool : I have over 10k gallons of water. I’m not afraid of your puny 1.5 gpm rating. Pressure Washer : Ohh Yeah!!! Hold my wand. Proceeds to jump in and start kicking ass until it realizes the poor little pressure washer can’t swim. ☹️

    There are two things the video didn't mention. Over time the snap on connections will become difficult to use, especially when trying to disconnect them. It's a good idea to use a rubber safe lubricant, like silicone grease, to lightly lubricate the ball bearings in the connections. You also definitely want to lubricate the O-rings - the owners manual for my machine also mentions that. For cleaning concrete floors, driveways, or wood decks there is a specific attachment that can be purchased for that. It works wonders and makes the job a lot quicker and more efficient. There are YT videos demonstrating such an attachment.

Here’s a tip I learned long ago and it really has helped me with all my gas powered toys that sit over the winter months...trimmers, chainsaws, blowers...even the 65 Mustang: Non-ethanol gas. Not all stations carry it but you can usually find a place or 2 in every town that does. It doesn’t seem to go bad like all the ethanol-mixed gas does.

    One thing that seems to always go un-said in pressure washer user manuals and instruction videos is proper care of the hose. These are not soft rubber hoses like used with air compressors, rather they are fairly stiff, hard-walled PVC or similar material. They will kink easily, and are more likely to kink when bent if they also have a twist to them. For that reason, it is important to take care when unrolling them, and rolling them up for storage, to have them roll neatly in the orientation that the hose wants to be in. Personally, I use a hand cranked garden hose reel ,and reel up the hose while it is stretched out on the driveway, so it can untwist itself as it is drawn in towards the reel. I just store the hose on that reel, and un-reel it from there when needed.

    I recently recycled a 330 gallon DEF IBC tote from my farm to run my pressure washer where I don’t have a water hook up. I filled the tote to the top which is a lot of water. I thought it wouldn’t be enough, but I washed three tractors, a round hay baler which gets very dirty, a 30’ hay rake and tedder and a CanAm X3 and all of that was barely a quarter of the tank. Pressure washers use barely any water making them the ideal low cost cleaning tool.

Unfortunately, I can't afford a $1,000 Honda engine, but I found that Briggs & Stratton engines have crapped out as of lately. That was sad news, as I have a beautiful B & S engine in my lawnmower.

    My favorite hack on a power washer?....... Connect a washing machine hose to the water inlet. Next time you connect your garden hos you won't have to reach under the P/W to connect up! You can also put in a "Y" adapter with shut off valves so you have access to water, (I always need to wash my hands)
