Deciding Between Repairing or Replacing Your Pressure Washer

Leave a Reply

Deciding whether your pressure washer needs repairing or replacing is an extremely important decision. Here at Britclean, we offer a repair service for all models of pressure washers and industrial vacuums; including well-known brands such as Nilfisk, Karcher and Numatic International.

If you are using a wobble pump, then you will need to replace the pressure washer as the pump cannot be repaired.
Wobble pumps are economical but are not designed to be repaired.

Alternatively, if your pump is an axial cam pump, you have the choice to change the damaged parts, have the parts repaired or replaced. If you don’t have the knowledge of pressure washers, we would recommend talking to Britclean and arranging a repair.

While parts can be ordered online, it’s best to talk to cleaning specialists (such as Britclean) who have a ready-to-go range of stock, including replacement pumps and other appropriate parts.

Here at Britclean, we offer a number of well-known pressure washer brands such as Karcher, Ehrle, Nilfisk plus our own brand.

While we pride ourselves on the quality of our product range, we also understand that sometimes washers will require repairs and maintenance to prolong their life span.

Don’t worry if you’ve never used a pressure washer before, as we have drawn up a handy guide to identifying the most common problems that require repairs or new parts.

Three Pressure Washer Issues We Can Help With

Water Leaking – Water leaking from your pump is one of the most common issues with pressure washers, which is usually caused by either broken seals, loose bolts when the pump is assembled or a broken rubber washer.
For all of these issues, we would recommend contacting Britclean to take a look at your pressure washer to identify the issues and get them fixed in no time.

Electric Pressure Washer Problems – If your machine refuses to start this could be because of a faulty motor or the electric outlet is faulty. During use, if the motor stops running this could be caused by the low voltage which requires checking the voltage in the motor’s specified range.

Oil Leak from the Pump – Oil leaks from the pump are typically caused by loose bolts or fittings which simply need to be checked and tightened. Alternatively, damaged parts such as seals and pistons will have to be disassembled, checked clean and replaced (if required).

Excessive Noise – If your pressure washer is making more noise than usual, this could be because the water intake is blocked, which requires it be checked over, cleaned and replaced, if faulty. A lack of oil in the engine simply requires a checkup and adding a sufficient amount of oil, whereas if there is not enough oil in the pump this will require a more thorough disassembly and an oil check.
