Life saver. Was about to take my newly bought toy back to the warranty until I watched this video. Super helpful 👍 Edit: I was so eager to find out if this solution actually works that I got up at night to test it myself

UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust kzread.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.

Great!

I am so happy that you took the time to explain this. I've never used a pressure washer, and I finally purchased one. I had serious issues with the air built up in the hose. I am a single woman over 50 and had no idea what I was/am doing. Now that I finally located your video, (not easy to find online). Maybe because other users know what they're doing. 😂 Thanks so much.

Ditto Carol. 50 something single woman playing with a pressure washer. After the water hose connection on the tap came loose I couldn't get the thing to work again properly, thought I killed it 🤣. Thank you Aaron!

2 minutes was all it took before full pressure. Thank you so much!

Sweet.

Great explanation. Here’s what I’ve done to minimize the time spent running air through my machine: I installed a quarter-turn shutoff valve at the end of my water hose, so I turn on my water and run all air out of water hose, then I shut off water with quarter-turn valve at hose end. Then I just attach water hose to pressure washer, open quarter turn valve, then I bleed air through pressure washer / hose before attaching wand assembly - this procedure moves the air out very quickly.

Question..Forgive my understanding here. How are you purging the air from one side? It seems like it's open(with nothing connected to it) than turned off. Meanwhile the water source is connected to the other side and is just waiting to be turned on. Another question..does limiting the pass thru from a 3/4 inch hose thru the smaller valve ball reduce the amount of water (GPM)going to the washer itself? Thanks.

Thanks man! This saved my day. Short, to the point and the information I needed.

Nice vid. Thanks. I will mention that I've found that my older gas powered pressure washer has trouble starting with full water pressure, so I had to do it a little differently. I run the hose to release the air , then with water running and air relieved, I loosely attach the hose to the unit, start the motor and then tighten the hose fully. This works great for me. Again, thanks!

Great informative video. I had this problem yesterday and was trying to think of a better way to remove air. What if we put a ball valve on the end of the hose, ran the hose until there’s a solid steam, then close the valve. Hook up the other end to the washer, and open the valve to feed the air free water!

Here's a trick I've found that eliminates most of the air problem: add a hose shut-off valve to the end of the hose that goes into the washer, and turn it to shut before removing the hose (and I also have a quick release connection that goes between the valve and the washer). That way, the water doesn't squirt all over the place when the hose is removed, and there's hardly any air in the hose when you go to reconnect the hose.

Great pointer!

Can't be stressed enough that all air must be purged before putting on a pressure tip. I like to put the feed hose on loosely, turn on the water at the house and back the hose nut off as far as I can with out it coming off to purge most of the air from the feed hose. Depending on how long your feed hose is it can save 5 -10 minutes evacuating the air. Take the time it takes to do it right and the unit will last a long time. Great video.

If there's a tiny bit of air, that might change it. But there's probably a governor in there to prevent damage.

This video & your others about the Ryobi have been informative. Is there a way to add an inline air purge valve at the Ryobi water hose inlet to solve the pressure loss (& potential pump damage) problem? Caleffi makes such valves but getting them to fit would take some tinkering.

No, I just run the water w/o pressure. Otherwise those air bubbles will stall out the pump. Just flowing the water through gets the air out faster IMO.

Thank you for the video, very helpful. I will have a try. I used my pressure washer today, then I took a hour break.whne I back to use it ,it just like what you showed in your video. The pressure goes down and up and down again. I actually bought a brand new one just started using the first day!! So I was thinking that it went fault.
