One of the major problems affecting the proper functioning of pressure washers is contaiminated water. By nature, water is a carrier of minerals, iron, dirt, rust, and other contaminants. Problems caused by this contamination could be clogging of the float tank, and pump inlet. The particles can get into the pump and cause wear on the packings and valves or crack the ceramic pistons. Unloaders are prone to damage if the water is not clean.
Every pressure washer system, whether it is pulling water from a city water supply, water tank, stream or pond should have a quality water filter installed on the inlet side of the pump.

The float tank usually holds about 1 gallon of water. It will be replenished when the float valve drops below a certain level. The float tank should have a top and a discharge filter to prevent debris from entering the pressure washer system. If debris does clog the outlet preventing water from getting to the system, the vacuum switch can be defeated, and cause the burner to ignite without water flow, and a steam explosion may occur.
