I think I just have a standard water air/separator... I recently just had the pump sieze up on me when some water made it through... Wd-40 usually does the trick when its starting to slow up on you (you can hear the difference) but once it is seized up you have to play operation

I need to get a filter for my sureface cleaner. The tips are getting clogged and it make the sureface cleaner dance. I hate when that happens

I use 5 gallon paint strainers with plastic zip ties around my pick up tube to be a prefilter

you want a filter before the pump as debris will screw up the pump.

Even with presure washers I instruct my guys to flush the garden hose BEFORE hooking up to powerwasher, then flush the PW high pressure hose BEFORE hooking up to gun, then flush the wand/gun BEFORE putting a tip on. AND NEVER drop any part in th dirt!

Do they listen? rarely

I have a whole house filter on the truck. All the water that comes to the truck goes through that first. The 100 gal buffer tank has a 12" nipple on the bottom with a series of 1/8" holes. It then goes through an in line filter like this before it gets to the pressure washer. As to my house and roof tanks. They two have 1/8" holes drilled in the pickup. I need to take new pictures of the truck as many things have changed since the pictures I posted.
