When you're looking to add a new spray gun, a new hose or a quick-connect set to your existing pressure washer, they may not always fit together right. In these cases, you'll need an adapter.Whether you're searching for components that match your unit or are searching for adapters, it's important to know what connections your unit currently has.Gas pressure washers are more universal, making it easier to match various accessories and couplings to them. However, electric pressure washers will be mostly brand specific, meaning only specific accessories or parts from the same manufacturer will be compatible.

Quick Connect couplings are easier to identify, but the adapter end must be compatible with your pressure washer's M22 or 3/8" connection. They don't have threads on both ends. Quick Connect attachments are designed to snap into one another without any twisting.
Nevertheless, if you're looking for a new spray gun, a new hose, or you're looking to incorporate Quick Connects, your best bet is to stick with the same brand, and make sure what you choose is compatible with the pressure washer model you have.While it can be possible to adapt some off-brand accessories to fit your pressure washer, it's not advisable due to pressure loss and possible leaks. At the bottoms of our product pages, we list compatible models. Always check the details on the accessory or coupling you're looking at to make sure it's a match.
Paul Hicks, Product and Marketing Manager at pressure washer manufacturer STIHL (opens in new tab), is in agreement when it comes to how to clean a patio. 'One of the most common uses for a pressure washer is to clean the patio, and it can definitely transform an area by removing any ingrained dirt,' Paul says.
'However, as with all pressure washer jobs, care must be taken when operating. If your patio or drive uses sand between the stones, a pressure washer could potentially blast the sand away. In this case, make sure you replace the sand as soon as you possibly can to ensure the structure of the patio isn't impacted,' he adds.
So, although it might take more time, plus a little backache, you might thank yourself later for pulling out weeds manually. Seeing to those dandelions before attacking them with the pressure washer will keep your patio in better condition for longer.
The app allows users to control the pressure of the machine using from their phone and gives handy tips for how to use your pressure washer correctly. This includes advice for targeting delicate surfaces like wood and helps you switch between pressures.

The physical parts of the pressure washer are expertly packaged using cardboard spacers and sheets to isolate any movement. This provides additional separation of individual parts, thereby preventing damage in what can be a rough and rugged shipping process.
Also included in the kit is an 8.5 oz. soap dispenser. Unlike most pressure washers, the dispenser on the Sun Joe model attaches directly to the spray gun (replacing the spray wand) instead of being attached to the base unit.
For example, I ran the portable pressure washer almost continuously when washing a car at the high pressure setting (800 PSI) using a 400 nozzle (the recommend nozzle for car washing). At that power setting and flow rate I was able to run three full buckets of water through the machine without running out of power. The battery ran for over 35 minutes and still had one LED of power left in it (although this is the recommended time to start recharging it).
And finally, I tested its maneuverability with the caster wheels on the front of the base unit. The pressure washer backed into tight spaces without having me lift it into place, and it towed behind me without a problem. I have a sloped driveway and found the unit tended to roll on its own. Bring a rock, stick or whatever to chock either one of the rolling casters or one of the fixed wheels. 2ff7e9595c
