Why does my Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer have low water volume?
- TThomas BellJul 25, 2025
Low water volume in your Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer can arise from several causes. Check if the water inlet is blocked and clear it if necessary. Ensure you have an adequate water supply to the unit. Inspect the inlet hose for kinks or leaks; straighten the hose or patch any leaks found. A clogged inlet hose strainer could also be the culprit, so clean it. If your water supply is over 100°F, switch to a cooler supply. Also, examine the high-pressure hose for blockages or leaks, clearing any obstructions or replacing the hose if needed. A leaking gun or an obstructed nozzle can also reduce water volume; replace the gun or clean the nozzle. If none of these steps work, the pump might be faulty, and you should contact a Briggs & Stratton service facility.
