Not Going to take it anymore!

Do NOT buy any parts or items manufactured by Black & Decker or Dewalt! They are rip off artist. I purchased pumps from them as a Authorized Repair Center and despite the pumps being on my shelf for a few years they were new in the box. The... last two that I had in stock BOTH leaked right out of the box. I called to get a credit or some type of satisfaction and they said the item only has a 30 days warranty from when purchased. Now I'm out over $200 and that's that. So I'm letting everyone I know that I done supporting a company or product that doesn't support me! We just shouldn't have to stand for this type of stuff anymore!!!!!

Rental Vs. Purchase

Sometimes it makes more sense to rent a pressure washer versus purchasing a pressure washer. If you are just using the pressure washer once or twice a year, consider renting the pressure washer. Pressure Washers tend to be a high maintenance equipment due to the fact that they use water and fuel to operate. Equipment that is put into storage for long periods of time can get damaged by the water and fuel left in the equipment. By renting the pressure washer, you can rest assure that the pressure washer has been taken care of properly and is ready to use.

Winterizing Your Pressure Washer

If you store your pressure washer in an area below 32 degrees F, make sure you winterize your machine. Otherwise, the damage of a freeze up can be very costly. Please contact our service department for instructions on winterizing your pressure washer or store your pressure washer in a heated area that will not go below 32 degrees F. Remember an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. www.Aquatech-USA.com

Built in the USA-Pressure Washers and beyond

These days it seems harder to find pressure washers that are built in the USA. Could it be that Americans have settled to buy equipment based on price? Pressure washers built outside the USA tend to have a limited parts availability, materials of inferior quality, and even no product support. Americans seem to continue to buy cheap pressure washers and once they fail you throw the product away and buy a new one. What I consider as a "throw away mentality".

But let's think about what purchasing a USA built pressure washer can do for our failing economy. If the company is building the pressure washer in the USA, it  would employ Americans and keep the spendable income in the USA. If the materials being used are sourced in the USA, more employment and better parts availability. If the pressure washer is built to last by using components that can be rebuilt, employment for service support dealers throughout the USA.

Please consider these points when buying not just a pressure washer but any products. The price of a USA built pressure washer might be 2 to 3 times more in some cases but price is not everything. Think of it as an investment into the future of the America economy and future generations.    

Running Bleach through your pressure washer

During the late Spring and early Summer, most people want to pressure wash their decks to remove mold or mildew. One of the best ways to remove the mold and mildew is to apply a diluted bleach solution to the deck and then pressure wash it off. I suggest that you use a pump up sprayer(similar to the one pictured) to apply the bleach solution versus running the bleach solution through your pressure washer. The bleach can do damage to the components in the pump, gun, injector and nozzle. When done using the pump up sprayer make sure you rinse through the sprayer with fresh clean water before storing away.
