FAQs

How long does the water pressure last after pumping?

The duration of the water pressure depends on the intensity of pumping and the spray setting used. A fully pressurized tank typically provides a consistent spray for 1-3 minutes before needing to be re-pressurized.

Can I use soap or detergent with this power washer?

This portable power washer is designed for use with water only. Using detergents may damage the pump mechanism or seals. Always check the product manual for specific guidance on compatible cleaning agents.

What is the maximum water temperature I can use?

It is recommended to use cold or lukewarm water. Using excessively hot water may damage the plastic components of the tank and pump.

How do I clean the 8L tank?

After emptying, rinse the tank with clean water. For tougher residue, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse. Ensure the tank is completely dry before storage.

Is this suitable for cleaning large patios or driveways?

Due to its 8L capacity and manual pumping mechanism, this washer is best suited for smaller, targeted cleaning tasks. It is not ideal for large surface areas like patios or driveways which would require frequent refilling and re-pumping.

What are the dimensions of the product?

The dimensions are H54 x W18 x D25cm.

Does it come with a warranty?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's information for warranty details specific to this Victor Tools product.

Troubleshooting

No spray or weak spray

Ensure the tank is adequately filled with water. Pump the hand pump vigorously to build sufficient pressure. Check that the spray nozzle or brush is not clogged. Ensure the trigger is fully depressed.

Unit not holding pressure

Verify that the fill cap is securely tightened. Inspect the hose and nozzle connections for leaks. If the problem persists, there might be an issue with the pump seal, requiring professional inspection.

Water leaking from the pump mechanism

Check if the pump handle is properly seated. If a leak is visible around the pump's base, the internal seal may be compromised. Discontinue use and contact customer support.

Brush or lance not attaching securely

Ensure you are using the correct connector for the attachment. Clean any debris from the attachment point and the connector before re-attaching.
