How to fix water pressure fluctuations in your high-pressure washer
While using your Husqvarna high-pressure washer, you may sometimes notice that the water pressure goes up and down instead of staying steady.
This issue is usually caused by a few common problems that are quick to fix.
Bent or twisted hoses
- Check all hoses for bends, twists or kinks.
- Straighten them out to ensure a smooth flow of water.
Insufficient water supply
- Make sure that your water source is tuned on and supplying enough water.
- Avoid using long or thin hoses, which can restrict water flow.
- Always use hoses that meet the requirements in your high-the operator’s manual of your high-pressure washer.
Blocked nozzle
A blocked or partially clogged nozzle can reduce or interrupt water flow.
