Finer mesh (higher number) catches smaller particles but restricts flow more. For chemical strainers, use 80 to 100 mesh. For clean municipal water, 50 mesh is usually enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my pump keep failing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common cause of pump failure in pressure washers is debris damage from running without a filter or running with a damaged filter screen.

The arrow on the housing (if present) should point toward the pump. Make sure all connections are tight and leak-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the filter screen after every job. Remove the screen, flush it with clean water, and inspect for tears or stretched mesh. A torn screen lets debris through.

The arrow on the housing (if present) should point toward the pump. Make sure all connections are tight and leak-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the filter screen after every job. Remove the screen, flush it with clean water, and inspect for tears or stretched mesh. A torn screen lets debris through. Replace it immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your pump is losing pressure, surging, or making noise, check the filter first. A clogged filter restricts water flow to the pump. The pump cavitates (starves for water) and the internal components wear out fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep a spare filter screen in your parts box. When a screen rips on a job, you need a replacement right away or you risk pump damage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I clean my pressure washer inlet filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean it after every job. If you are working in dusty or sandy conditions, or pulling from a dirty water source, check it during the job too. A clogged filter starves the pump for water and causes cavitation damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat mesh size filter do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general inlet filtration, 50 to 100 mesh works well. Finer mesh (higher number) catches smaller particles but restricts flow more. For chemical strainers, use 80 to 100 mesh. For clean municipal water, 50 mesh is usually enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my pump keep failing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common cause of pump failure in pressure washers is debris damage from running without a filter or running with a damaged filter screen. Install a quality inlet filter and check it regularly. Your pump will last years longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy pressure washer filters and strainers near Gaithersburg, Maryland?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSun Brite Supply is located at 16620 Oakmont Ave, Gaithersburg, MD 20877.

The arrow on the housing (if present) should point toward the pump. Make sure all connections are tight and leak-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the filter screen after every job. Remove the screen, flush it with clean water, and inspect for tears or stretched mesh. A torn screen lets debris through. Replace it immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your pump is losing pressure, surging, or making noise, check the filter first. A clogged filter restricts water flow to the pump. The pump cavitates (starves for water) and the internal components wear out fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep a spare filter screen in your parts box.

If you are working in dusty or sandy conditions, or pulling from a dirty water source, check it during the job too. A clogged filter starves the pump for water and causes cavitation damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat mesh size filter do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general inlet filtration, 50 to 100 mesh works well. Finer mesh (higher number) catches smaller particles but restricts flow more. For chemical strainers, use 80 to 100 mesh. For clean municipal water, 50 mesh is usually enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my pump keep failing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common cause of pump failure in pressure washers is debris damage from running without a filter or running with a damaged filter screen. Install a quality inlet filter and check it regularly. Your pump will last years longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy pressure washer filters and strainers near Gaithersburg, Maryland?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSun Brite Supply is located at 16620 Oakmont Ave, Gaithersburg, MD 20877.

The arrow on the housing (if present) should point toward the pump. Make sure all connections are tight and leak-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the filter screen after every job. Remove the screen, flush it with clean water, and inspect for tears or stretched mesh. A torn screen lets debris through. Replace it immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your pump is losing pressure, surging, or making noise, check the filter first. A clogged filter restricts water flow to the pump.

If you are working in dusty or sandy conditions, or pulling from a dirty water source, check it during the job too. A clogged filter starves the pump for water and causes cavitation damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat mesh size filter do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general inlet filtration, 50 to 100 mesh works well. Finer mesh (higher number) catches smaller particles but restricts flow more. For chemical strainers, use 80 to 100 mesh. For clean municipal water, 50 mesh is usually enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my pump keep failing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common cause of pump failure in pressure washers is debris damage from running without a filter or running with a damaged filter screen.

The arrow on the housing (if present) should point toward the pump. Make sure all connections are tight and leak-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the filter screen after every job. Remove the screen, flush it with clean water, and inspect for tears or stretched mesh. A torn screen lets debris through. Replace it immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your pump is losing pressure, surging, or making noise, check the filter first. A clogged filter restricts water flow to the pump. The pump cavitates (starves for water) and the internal components wear out fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep a spare filter screen in your parts box.

The arrow on the housing (if present) should point toward the pump. Make sure all connections are tight and leak-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the filter screen after every job. Remove the screen, flush it with clean water, and inspect for tears or stretched mesh. A torn screen lets debris through. Replace it immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your pump is losing pressure, surging, or making noise, check the filter first. A clogged filter restricts water flow to the pump. The pump cavitates (starves for water) and the internal components wear out fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep a spare filter screen in your parts box. When a screen rips on a job, you need a replacement right away or you risk pump damage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I clean my pressure washer inlet filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean it after every job. If you are working in dusty or sandy conditions, or pulling from a dirty water source, check it during the job too. A clogged filter starves the pump for water and causes cavitation damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat mesh size filter do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general inlet filtration, 50 to 100 mesh works well. Finer mesh (higher number) catches smaller particles but restricts flow more. For chemical strainers, use 80 to 100 mesh. For clean municipal water, 50 mesh is usually enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my pump keep failing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common cause of pump failure in pressure washers is debris damage from running without a filter or running with a damaged filter screen. Install a quality inlet filter and check it regularly. Your pump will last years longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy pressure washer filters and strainers near Gaithersburg, Maryland?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSun Brite Supply is located at 16620 Oakmont Ave, Gaithersburg, MD 20877.
