SOURCE: troy-bilt 2200 psi pressure washer

I have a Troybilt Model 2200 PSI Pressure Washer in which I have used only 2 times in the past 2 1/2 years. Went to use it this past weekend and the pump in not working. Water shoots out of the side. I bought this brand and model as I thought Troybilt was suppose to be so good. Went back to where it was purchased and had no success but to say I could buy another pump or take it in to be repaired. I believe that this power washer should be replaced at no charge. 2 uses does not constitute a few hundreds of dollars.
Have you to heard anything concerning pump problems on this particular model? Thanks for any advice. .

SOURCE: genrac power washer chemical injector not working

How long is your high pressure hose and what diameter as it maybe to long and won,t **** chemical due to back pressure. To test this remove the high pressure hose and run the machine and check too see if any chemical is coming up the pipe. If it does then its a problem with your hose or the adjuster is not going to low enough pressure.

SOURCE: I recently purchased a northstar 4000 psi pressure

The injector might be worn out or have something inside of the valve causing it not to ****. If you are using a new high pressure hose or a longer hose this may also have an effect over the injector not working.

Husky HU 80522 pressure washer - some pressure to the spray gun. water coming from the pump goes straight to the sifon hose used for detergent. Can this line be clamped of if not used?

This unit has a Faip pump on the unit, no water should come out the chemical injector. The chemical injector can be closed off with no problem by installing a plug where the chemical injector hose bard is currently located.
You can also replace the chemical injector, here is a link to view the part.

Where would I find availability of parts in QLD Australia to suit a pressure cleaner 3200 psi coupled to a Briggs & Stratton motor pressure washer number 020225-0 part required chemical injection kit...

Wayne,

Any Pressure Washer dealer should be able to sell you what is called a "Down Stream Injector". What you need to know is the flow rate. Like, at low pressure, see how many Gallons/Liters Per Minute actually comes out the wand. That is what the seller needs to know in order to sell you one the proper sized internal orifice. Also, you need to know that these devices only **** chemical at low pressure. They make special tips and/or wands so you can easily revert to low pressure to apply your cleaning chemical. This stuff is generic. It will come with standard pipe threading. Close is good enough on "flow-rate". Just use a bucket or something and get a reasonably close estimate.

Troy bilt 2600 psi when you turn the water on it shoots out through the chemical supply inlet

My chemical supply inlet has a checkball and a spring that keeps pressure in check. There must be debris behind checkball. Easy to check by removing the fitting. If faulty and parts not available, plug fitting and add an aftermarket injector from www.pwmall.com. that you can install when you need it. Good luck

The chemical injection system on my craftsman 2500psi washer will not inject cleaner through the wand. have cleaned all parts and still won't work

The chemical injection system works by siphon action. You must have the black or largest/ low pressure tip installed for it to work properly. If you feel any pressure at the wand, most likely will not work. If your wand has the adjustable type tip, it may have a restriction causing pressure and not allowing siphon action. If you continue having trouble with siphon, you could plug/shut of siphon and install an aftermarket injector between the wand and the pump (not expensive). Sold at www.pwmall.com Good luck

Craftsman Pressure Washer 580.752160 reagent/chemical not being dispensed when wand in low pressure position.

It is very common for the chemical injector valve on these to get gummed up from residual soap sitting in the valve. To clean it follow the chemical hose back to where it attaches to the pump. There will be a hex headed hose barb attached to it. Remove the barb from the pump. Underneath it you will find a spring and a ball bearing. Rinse the parts thoroughly and reassemble. You should also check the chemical strainer that goes into your chemical bucket. They can also become clogged and should periodically be cleaned.

Why want my pressure washer suction the solution while pressure washing the house?

The first problem might be that you are trying to use the wrong nozzle, see this link to read more about what nozzle to use for detergents

If you still have an issue the problem is going to be in the chemical valve on the pump, there are two different styles they have on this type of machine, look at the links below on directions on how to repair your chemical valve.

The injector might be worn out or have something inside of the valve causing it not to ****. If you are using a new high pressure hose or a longer hose this may also have an effect over the injector not working.

G-3050 - area to draw soap - how to put washer/ball and spring

First off you must be using the low pressure nozzle for the chemical injector to work. It will not work on high pressure. The spring goes into the injector body first with the ball in metering valve.
