What happens here

After using hot water, it's crucial to perform a cool-down procedure. This involves continuing to spray cold water through the system to gradually reduce the temperature of the hose, swivel, and internal fittings. This prevents expansion and contraction damage, extending the life of the components. For heavy equipment, it's akin to idling down a turbo engine for a few minutes to cool it down. This simple step ensures the pressure washer remains in good working condition.

Goal: Safely shut down the pressure washer and cool down components.

[Music] okay so when you're done running it um you could keep the pump running and keep pushing out high pressure if you want to do but what I do is I just spray it like this to keep the uh the hot water just cool to cool everything off so right now your hose is super hot your swivels is 180 everything you feel that it's 180 degrees right now so the reason why you cool it down then is it kind of helps with the expansion contraction of all the fittings and everything okay and it's going to help everything last longer so a cool down procedure is always that's what you do before but you don't have to go and drain it or nothing if wrong if it's just that just that once a year okay so cool down just cooler down before you put her away kind of like when we're running a heavy equipment we always let it idle down one to one to three minutes to cool the turbos down so and then everything else
