1. Clogged Nozzle A clogged nozzle restricts the
flow of water, reducing pressure. Debris or
mineral deposits can accumulate over time
4
2. Water Supply Issues Insufficient water flow or
low water pressure from the source can lead to a
decrease in pressure at the washer
5
3. Damaged or Worn Pump A worn-out or damaged
pump can fail to maintain the required pressure.
Common causes include worn seals, cracked
pistons, or broken valves.

4. Faulty Pressure Regulator A malfunctioning
pressure regulator may result in a drop in
pressure. It regulates the flow of water through
the system.

5. Leaking Hoses or Connections Leaks in hoses,
fittings, or connections can cause a loss of
pressure. Inspect and repair any damaged or loose
components.

6. Dirty Water Inlet Filter A clogged or dirty
water inlet filter can restrict water flow,
reducing pressure. Regular cleaning or
replacement is necessary.

7. Air Leakage Air leaks in the system disrupt
the pressure flow. Check for loose fittings,
damaged seals, or faulty connections.

8. Worn or Incorrect Spray Tips Worn-out spray
tips or using the wrong size for the desired
pressure can affect the performance and cause
pressure loss.

9. Overuse or Overheating Excessive use without
proper cooling intervals can cause the pressure
washer to overheat, resulting in reduced pressure
output.
