Default Pressure washer storage

Lowes, Home Cheapo, Northern, etc. all sell an aerosol can of "storage
anti freeze and conditioner" made for power washers. I would advise
against using windshield washer, or anti freeze because of the reaction
with the "cheap" rubber seal materials the manufactures use now a days.
A can or this stuff costs like $4 and hooks up to the water supply hose
inlet of the pump and all you have to do is press the button and the
pressure blows old water out the pump while adding the anti freeze and
pump conditioner, and it lasts for many "flushings".


The manufacturer recommends winter washer solvent or RV antifreeze.

The aerosol can doesn't have enough volume for many flushings.

I would recommend not wasting $4 on the aerosol.
