What types of filters are used in pressure washer systems?
Pressure washers use several types of filters, including inlet (water) filters, fuel filters, and high-pressure filters. Each one plays a role in keeping contaminants out of different parts of the system to ensure smooth operation.
What does a pressure washer filter do?
Filters remove dirt, debris, and sediment from water or fuel before it enters critical components like the pump or engine. This helps prevent clogs, reduces wear, and keeps your equipment running efficiently.
How do I choose the right filter for my pressure washer?
You’ll want to match the filter based on flow rate (GPM), micron or mesh rating, and connection size. Higher mesh or lower micron ratings provide finer filtration, but it’s important to balance filtration with proper water flow.
What’s the difference between a strainer and a filter?
Strainers are designed to catch larger debris like leaves or particles before they enter the system, while filters provide finer filtration and remove smaller contaminants that could damage internal components.
When should I replace or clean my pressure washer filter?
Filters should be inspected regularly and cleaned or replaced when clogged, damaged, or restricting flow. Routine maintenance helps extend the life of your pump, engine, and other key components.
