What happens here

To ensure maximum lifespan and prevent issues, especially in colder climates, proper water quality and winterization are crucial. Soft water is highly recommended. For winterization in unheated storage, units should be antifreeze-treated using undiluted green antifreeze or thoroughly blown out with an air compressor. Draining alone is not sufficient to prevent freezing damage.

Goal: Optimize pressure washer longevity through proper water and storage practices.

Tools and materials

  • Air Compressor — Blowing out water from the system for winterization
  • Soft Water — Operating the pressure washer to prevent damage
  • Undiluted Green Antifreeze — Treating the system for winter storage in cold conditions

getting that out of them so if you want to get the most life out of your hop because these are oh wait what's the what's the price point on something oh ten okay so this is an investment and if you want to get the most life out of it do you have a recommendation soft water yeah I don't care sand water is the only thing you want that's the main thing okay so hot water is a real thing soft water and when you're running the unit let when you let go of the trigger when you're running it to not let it just sit there and run and bypass okay turn it off turn it off yep just shut her down if you're gonna if you're gonna move jockey equipment around or something you want to just shut it down shut it down and what about an end of season and beginning a season prep for if you're throwing in a heated shed there is nothing there is no need if you are storing it in a cold storage then you want to antifreeze it with a an undiluted green antifreeze that's the best okay and how what do you do to do that so we just hook it up we have a bucket that we make that actually hooks right into the garden hose hook up here and you just hold it up and it'll suck it through the system okay okay so what if we don't have that bucket we don't have that fan you can make an air hook up here okay now you can just hook your air compressor up to blow it out just blow it all the way out as much as that'll get you pretty close as good as it can get yeah okay and if you if you wanted to you could take you could take your fitting off here take your cap off here and that would help drain the water out of the oils just drain it all out drain it out so you're not freezing yourself you don't do this and then just undo that back one that would relieve the pressure on the coil and allow it to drain out as well but that's but just draining it isn't enough is it yeah you
