  If your Hotsy Pressure Washer runs but won't spray, make sure to squeeze the trigger of the trigger gun. Check that the water supply is turned on by opening the water supply valve. Inspect the pressure nozzle for clogs and clean it if needed. Also, check the inlet water screen for any blockage and clean it if necessary. Lastly, ensure the pump isn't sucking air by filling the detergent container and checking for loose hose clamps or fittings.

Why is the spray pressure low on my Hotsy 5835SS?

  Michael CervantesAug 19, 2025
  To address low spray pressure at the nozzle of your Hotsy Pressure Washer, fully open the faucet to ensure an adequate water supply. Inspect the hose for any kinks or damage, and use a 5/8" minimum hose. Check the inlet screen for any debris that may be causing a clog. Additionally, inspect the pressure nozzle for partial clogs or damage, and clean or replace it as needed. Finally, if air is being drawn through the detergent inlet line, refill the detergent container and ensure that the pick-up screen is fully immersed.

  If your Hotsy Pressure Washer isn't producing hot water, first ensure the burner switch is in the ON position. Next, check that the gas valve switch is also in the ON position. Verify that there is an adequate fuel supply. Finally, confirm that the pump switch is turned on, as the pump must be running before the burner will light.

  Joel PayneSep 1, 2025
  If your Hotsy Pressure Washer's unloader cycles when the trigger gun is opened or closed, try opening and closing the trigger gun several times to remove air from the system. If the issue persists, the unloader may be defective and need replacement. Also, check for water leaks between the unloader valve and the trigger gun, inspecting fittings, hose, and the trigger gun itself for leaks, and repair or replace any damaged components.

Why is the pressure relief valve leaking on my Hotsy Pressure Washer?
- A
  Angela BurtonSep 7, 2025
  If the pressure relief valve on your Hotsy Pressure Washer is leaking, it could be due to excessive pressure from a defective unloader valve, which would need replacement. Alternatively, the relief valve itself might be defective and require replacement. Another possibility is a dirty relief valve, in which case you should clean the relief valve seat.
