How to fix pressure drop in my Nilfisk-ALTO POSEIDON 3?
- A
  Anthony WarrenAug 15, 2025
  If your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer experiences a pressure drop, it might be due to several reasons. First, there could be air in the system; try venting it by operating the spray gun at short intervals, or run the cleaner briefly without the high-pressure hose. Alternatively, the high-pressure nozzle might be blocked or worn, requiring cleaning or replacement. Ensure the pressure control on the spray lance is correctly set to your desired working pressure. Check if the detergent container is empty and refill or close the detergent valve. Finally, verify that the water inlet temperature is within the specified limits.

  If your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer motor buzzes without starting, the main voltage might be too low, or there could be a phase failure (for 3-phase models). Have the electrical connections checked. Alternatively, the pump may be blocked or frozen, requiring service. Ensure that the extension lead has the correct cross-section and length.

  If the Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer experiences pressure drops, it could be due to several reasons. There might be air in the system, which you can resolve by venting the system. Operate the spray gun several times at short intervals. If necessary, operate the cleaner for a short time without the high-pressure hose connected. The high-pressure nozzle might be blocked or worn, requiring cleaning or replacement. Ensure the pressure control on the spray pipe is set correctly to the required working pressure. Also, check if the detergent tank is empty; if so, top it up or set the detergent metering to “0”.

Why is my Nilfisk-ALTO POSEIDON 3 Pressure Washer pressure fluctuating?
- Q
  qphillipsAug 27, 2025
  Pressure fluctuations in your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer can stem from a few causes. One possibility is that the pump is drawing in air, which can occur in suction mode. Ensure the suction set is airtight to prevent this. Another cause could be a lack of water supply. Make sure to open the water tap fully. The water inlet hose might be too long or have too small a cross-section; use the specified water inlet hose. A blocked water filter can also restrict water flow, so clean the water filter in the water connection. Finally, ensure that you have heeded the maximum permissible suction height, as instructed.

  If your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer experiences pressure fluctuations, it could be due to a lack of water. Ensure the water tap is fully open. The water inlet hose might be too long or have an inadequate cross-section; use the specified hose. A blocked water filter can also cause this issue, so clean the water filter in the water connection, always operating with a filter. Check that you are adhering to the maximum permissible suction height. Finally, verify that the suction set is airtight to prevent the pump from sucking in air.

  If the motor of your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer switches off, the overload protection may have been activated due to overheating or overloading. Check that the main voltage and the cleaner voltage are the same. Also, a dirty high-pressure nozzle can cause this issue; replace the high-pressure nozzle.
