Hands up all those with pressure washers? Have you remembered to fully drain them before you put them away in the shed /garage? ( pipes off turn on side to remove any water/detergent/whatever) Probably a good time to check!
It cost me a new one a few years ago because I didn't get the last of the water out and and it split the outlet connector - uneconomic repair Derek

cost me a replacement s/h valve block for mine, since then I obey the rules and run the water out of it. The instuctions say disconnect inlet hose and open outlet and run for 20s to remove water.
Last night I drained the caravan water heater and the water flush for the crapper... also the pipework (cost a busted shower fitting couple of years ago).
10 minutes job but well worth the trip to Ma and Pa's to sort it.Lee D
I'm horrified. You leave important things like tools where they can get cold and damp? What do you have central heating for?

Nige our house just isn't big enough to take ALL the tools if it was I would have a pool table as well Derek

Bruce has a 3 phase steam pressure washer(got it as part of a deal with some
3 phase woodworking machinery) which he did exactly the same thing with, so when he went to use it the following year, all is did was leak a large amount of water everywhere. Cost him £100 or so to put right.Nikki
Nope, but I'm thinking of getting one.
Eh? This is the time I've year I'm more likely to use the thing, to slosh the encrusting salt off. Rest of the year mud can stay, the rain will wash it off over time.
