Winterize Your Pressure Washer

» THE COLD HARD FACTS

Winter storage can be particularly hard on your pressure washer. Freezing temperatures can force any residual water to expand and damage the pump. Even without the extreme cold, residual water can evaporate and leave behind mineral deposits or cause corrosion. Dry winter air also attacks the seals and pistons in your pressure washer, causing them to wear out prematurely. These elements can result in very costly damages to your pressure washer.

» Put Your Guard Up

Fortunately, there is an inexpensive solution to this problem: Kärcher’s Pump Guard for Pressure Washers. This specially formulated solution will protect your pressure washer from freezing (down to -25º F), corrosion and premature wear. It also adds lubrication to your pressure washer’s valves and seals to prevent sticking in the future. Ordinary anti-freeze is insufficient in this respect and is not recommended. Kärcher’s environmentally friendly Pump Guard for Pressure Washers is specifically formulated to counteract the damaging effects of winter storage. Put your guard up today!
