    Power washer
    I own a husky power washer 1750 I have had it for awhile and it has work fine until recently . The motor is running and it disperses water but its lacking pressure and the dispenser reservior is filling with water. I check all the bottom hose connections and found everything to be OK . I even check the speedy coupling connecter that attaches to water hose to see if that little internal check valve was damage but it look good. Husky tec support are totally lost please would some school me thank you

    A husky 1750 is a low cost electric motor ( 110vt) unit. Actual water pressure closer to 1300 or so actual output and a low GPM.

    There should be a pressure relief on the unit (**I think) that goes out if the unit is left running for more than a few minutes without the trigger gun being pulled.

    Normally this will ruin the pump after 4 to 5 minutes of running without water being used ( trigger gun pulled)

    But you start, run the unit without the hose, if there is a lot of water volume, then issue may be in hose and trigger gun, or with the wand.

    If you had good water at unit, disconnect the hose from the trigger gun and see if you have good flow there.

    But to be honest ( I am in the pressure washer busiess)


    These types are called disposable, normally you get part of a year out of one used a lot, a year out of one used some. And a couple of years top out of ones just used now and then.

    Things that hurt the unit
    1. being ran off a extenstion card

    2. loss of water and running it even 30 seconds without any water

    3. running it without water going though the trigger gun for more than just a couple minutes

    These units do not use a triplex or piston type pump and they have a very short life span. But then they don't cost much either


    *** note, it is not this brand it is all units of this type, this unit is as good as any of this type.
