My washer does not spray the cleaner solution as high as it did originally. The high pressure spray is fine.

If your pressure washer works like ours, it has a T connection.
A plastic hose comes off the T and goes into the bucket of cleaner
Pressure from the hose creates suction across the T and this draws cleaner into pressure hose
The plastic hose from cleaner connects to a small brass ball valve on the T
The ball valve clogs up or changes over time and cleaner will not draw up into the pressure hose.
We would replace the valve stem
I don't know if they sell the little replacement parts like they used to

Finally we had so much trouble.
We started applying our chemical with a pump-up sprayer.
For us, it was cheaper, and the work went faster.
We put one guy on the pump up sprayer
And then another guy came behind him on the washer.

Rug doctor carpet cleaner doesn't spray

did you use the rug doctor recommended cleaner detergent ?-
rug doctor is fussy on the detergent and a film can build up on the valve that controls the spray if a non recommended detergent has been used.
A high pressure water washer sprayed into the water line may help clear the build up film. .

How do I connect detergent tank to pump? This is a g3000 washer

G3000 is not much help. I have a car with an engine, can you help me get parts for it?
In general it is not a good idea to run solvents and cleaners through the pump. It tends to destroy the pressure seals ( people are often creative in what they use as cleaners) To protect the pump there is usually a siphon fitting on the high pressure side of the pump. There is usually a hose that you stick into your detergent. You then put in a large capacity cleaning nozzle and the detergent is sucked up the hose and out the low pressure cleaning nozzle. When you put on the high pressure spray nozzle the siphon valve seals and it does not draw detergent through the hose.

You must use the lowest pressure nozzle with the clear hose in the solution or you will not get soap. Make sure you use only the solutions approved for your pressure washer!.

When the patio cleaner is attached,the Karcher 5.68 pressure washer now keeps stopping and starting.It works fine on high pressure lance.It worked fine when bought from new a few days ago. We tried...

None of these fixes works for me and the original poster, like me what he's saying is when he swaps the high pressure lance for the patio attachment it pulses on and off, but when that happens, you can swap back to high pressure lance and it's fine. This means it's the patio attachment not any valves or power source, I have the same problem

Add fluid to tank but it never goes down no matter how long I spray, is it a product fluke?

Your pressure washer has a knob on the front that lets you choose between tank 1 or tank 2. Tank 1 is the larger of the two tanks. Make sure you have the knob set to position 1. Also, you will find that when you have the wand set to high pressure, the tank will not work as well. When you want to spray soap, spray with the low pressure setting. You can set the pressure to low by pulling out the nozzle on the front of the wand. Pushing it back in is high pressure.
