Proper Way To Adjust Your Unloader
You'll always need to know your GPM and PSI that your machine is designed to run along with a pressure gauge.
The correct was to adjust your pressure on your pressure washer is by using a nozzle chart. Watch this quick video to learn more on using the nozzle chart. The unloader valve is designed to allow water to bypass through the pump when the trigger is not engaged. If you turn the unloader to reduce the pressure, you reduce your flow and reduce your cleaning power. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should! Adjust your unloader valve often can also cause it to fail earlier and more often than normal.
