Product QuestionsAnswered by Jim, the Pressure Washer Expert
I'm looking for a unit that doesn't need to be gravity fed but I want the whole kit. Does this pressure washer need to be gravity fed or is standing fine?

Answer
Most pressure washers need the back pressure from city water in order to operate properly- including the pump on this pressure washer.
Success using gravity to feed a pressure washer depends on the situation- large trailer setups may have enough pressure, or can use small water pumps to make sure the pressure washer has enough water flowing to it.
Pumps that self-prime to use standing water can be found on Karcher, Kranzle, and Dirt Killer units.
Please make sure your water supply hose has a filter on the end to keep grit out of your pump, and be aware that gravity and hose length play a part in how far away from the still water source your pressure washer can be- usually it's not a very long distance.
