  If your Simpson Pressure Washer isn't drawing chemicals, check these potential causes: * Ensure the spray wand is set to low pressure. * Clean the chemical filter if it's clogged. * Make sure the end of the detergent siphon hose is fully submerged in the cleaning solution. * Dilute the chemical if it's too thick; it should have the same consistency as water. * Lengthen the water supply hose instead of using a long high-pressure hose.

  To troubleshoot low pressure on your Simpson Pressure Washer, ensure your water supply is at least 5 gpm @ 20 PSI. Repair any leaks at the high-pressure hose fitting, applying sealant tape if needed. Clear any obstructions from the nozzle, and clean the water filter screen. Remove air from the hose by disconnecting the water source, turning it on until a steady stream appears, then reconnecting and squeezing the trigger. Also, check that the choke is in the 'No Choke' position and use a high-pressure hose under 100 feet.
