Anyone here own one of these?

If so, have you added anything to the reservoir and actually had it
work?

I've added some carwash solution a couple of times, but only water
sprays.

I have a different brand, but they might work the same way.

Mine only pulls out of the reservoir when I use the low pressure setting of my adjustable spray head.

Exactly right. Same on Karcher and several other brands I've used.

Thanks guys...I'll give that a try, for my cars anyway.

Seems kinda stupid tho if you wanna *pressure* wash with something
like bleach.

OK, I see your concern.

Bleach doesn't go through at high pressure because it wouldn't be in
contact with the surface long enough to do any good.

You use the low-pressure setting to spray the bleach where you want it,
and wait 20 minutes or so while the bleach does its work, keeping the
surface damp (dried bleach doesn't do much good).

Finally, you use the high-pressure setting to rinse off the bleach
water and remove stuck-on dirt.

If you want to be *really* thorough: power-wash, bleach, power-wash.

If you want a real power washer, buy a real one.

Well, considering how little I use it (bought it mainly to PW my house
before painting it) it has lasted me 4 yrs and still works fine.

What was the reason for it being crap?


Sounds like you may have stored it improperly.

I've found Husky to be as good as any of the others on the market.

I used it four times. I went to use it, and it leaked like a sieve. In the
meantime, it was kept indoors. What is improper storage?
