Q: how many times times can this be used before having to buy another can? by Thomas from Missouri on June 20, 2011
A: You don't need to use a bunch of this at once and could most likely get 3-4 sprays out of it, but most likely more. There really is not a set number of times it can be used.
Thanks,

Q: Just bought the Karcher 3.74 from you guys. What is the "Pump Guard" which is recommended for storing and protecting the pump? And how do I use such? by Preben Jensen from California on March 24, 2011
A: The Karcher pump guard is a chemical that is designed to extend the life of the pump and the seals within. Pump guard or pump saver as it is also called, will lubricate the seals in the pump and also prevent any water that is left inside the pump from freezing during the colder months.
To use this product, you simply attach it to your garden hose water inlet fitting and turn the machine on for a few seconds. Once the chemical exits the outlet high pressure fitting, the pump is protected.
You should defintely run this chemical through the pump every time you are going to store your pressure washer away for extended periods of time such as over 30 days. You should also run this chemical through the pump periodically throughout the year to keep the seals moist. by Brian, Product Expert

Pump Guard Works And Saves You Money
I have a friend that has the same type of pressure washer and he's experienced pump problems, with the seals sticking, etc.
I followed the manufacturer's recommendations and used the Pump Guard. It keep the pump from freezing and breaking, but also provides an important lubricant to keep the pump seals working right.
The bottom line is that I've had no trouble with my pump and my friend that is very conservative with his resources won't spend a couple of bucks to winterize his pressure washer, and hence has had a lot of unnecessary problems.
A word to the wise...

Pump Guard
I used the pump guard, but the directions aren't very clear. I connected the bottle to my electric washer and turned it on. As soon as the pressure built up I turned it off and removed the bottle. Is this what I am supposed to do?

Dan,
I would not recommend turning on the unit and risking damage to the pump since there is not an adequate flow of water.
I would recommend removing the high pressure hose and screwing the bottle directly to the inlet of your pressure washer. Squeeze the pump guard, and when you see it come out the other side, you know it has ran through the pump.
Any questions call me directly at 800-710-7499 EXT148. Thanks
I used this stuff in my pressure washer pump over the winter months. My washer was stored in a heated basement. It started and pump worked fine in the spring time.
My friends pressure washer had stuck valves. He didn't use anything. Guess that nails it.
Pros:Easy To Use, Reliable, I'd Buy It Again

Power Plus
My power washer does everything I expected it to do. I even used it in my bathroom on the ceramic tile and it was fantastic.
It's light and easy to handle.Thank you for a terrific product.
I tried per the directions on the product and had no success in getting the fluid from inside the container into the pump on my DeWalt 3400 PSI pressure washer. Retried several times but still no success.

Michael,
I'm sorry you're having problems getting the Pump Saver into your pressure washer.
You may want to try removing the high pressure hose from your pressure washer, then screw the bottle directly to the inlet of your pressure washer (where the garden hose attaches). Squeeze the Pump Guard bottle, and when you see it come out the high pressure hose side you will know it has run through the pump.
If you have any questions please call me directly at 800-710-7499 EXT148. Thanks!
I found it a little challenging to assemble. I like it a lot for my little cleaning projects, of which there are many.
It is a little tipsy as I guess the motor being heavy makes it a little bit lopsided. The wheels make it easy to move. It is easy to store. The best thing is that the motor turns off when you stop cleaning. It's a lot less nerve-wracking.

Gets The Job Done
I started out with the two story side of the house that picks up all kinds of dirt and stains. For sure the 24 telescopic lance is a lot of work, but it helped me do the job.
I like the Generac 6022 a lot. Since I was experimenting I shut the machine down and started it up several times. Unlike a lot of reviews that I read on similarly priced pressure washers this one starts up without a hitch.
I like the design of it and every component seems to be of good quality. It has a small foot print and when running it is not loud. I think that my lawnmower is louder. The number of nozzles are adequate.
Given what I have spent annually on powerwashing I will more than pay for this purchase in one year. I used the Simple Green for cleaning vinyl and that did the job as well. After cleaning the house I will powerwash a rather large concrete pool deck.
The Generac 6022 was rated as Good in the Good/Better/Best recommendations by Pressure Washers Direct.com. Based on my limited experience with the Generac I can only conclude that Good is more than good enough.
Finally, I appreciate the level of communication that I have had with Pressure Washers Direct.com and I also like the library of videos. I watched all of them, ranging from maintenance of the powerwasher to various types of cleaning that can be done with a powerwasher.
All of this was a nice touch.
