5 Questions
Q: Will the Ladder Saver work with a 2600 psi powerwasher and using a siphon that connects after the pump? I would like to rig an after pump siphon to reach 2 to 3 stories with cleaner and foam. What do you recommend? by Joe Owens from Virginia on July 10, 2016
A: We had an earlier questioner ask this too- and the best I can tell you is that it might, since we don't get to put all this stuff together and see if it works.
You might want to check with the folks at theLadder Saver Contact Page or give them a call in Georgia at 404-408-8071.
The 2nd Story Nozzles I told you about in your earlier email will get soap and water up to your second story, but you may need to go up a ladder a bit to reach under the eaves of a third story- please be careful! by Brian, Product Expert
Q: Will the Ladder Saver Long-Range Soap and Rinse Nozzle be good to use with soap and still hit 60 ft with a 4000 psi with 3.5 gal per min by Vincent from Florida on January 29, 2015
A: Yes the ladder saver will be great with your 4000 PSI 3.5 GPM machine. It will quick connect where the colored spray tips normally go. by Brian, Product Expert
Q: Hi Bill, What is the difference of a downstream injector from an upstream injector? Thanks, John by John Marchand from Massachusetts on June 03, 2012
A: The difference is whether the detergent goes through your pump (upstream) or is injected into the water flow after your pump (downstream).
Since upstream (most consumer units) goes through the pump, you should only use pressure washer safe detergents that won't harm the gaskets & seals.
Downstream injectors can use harsher chemicals since they don't pass through the pump. (Although you need to be careful of overspray & runoff with the harsh stuff.)
The Ladder Saver will spray with either system, but will only be able to apply detergent if you have a downstream system, or use an accessory downstream siphon like this one:Accessory downstream chemical siphon by Brian, Product Expert
Q: Can gas pressure washers be stored in an unheated garage for the winter months? I'm getting ready to buy, but don't want to ruin a new machine storing it in my garage over the winter. Thanks in advance for your help. by Tony Conti from Connecticut on September 29, 2011
A: Yes, you can store a pressure washer during the winter in an unheated garage. However, there are some precautions you must take. First of all, you definitely want to either drain the gasoline out of the tank or you can mix fuel stabilzer into the existing fuel. Secondly, you definitely want to add a pump saver chemical to the pump. If you do not take these 2 steps to "winterize" your pressure washer, you will absolutely ruin your machine. by Brian, Product Expert
Q: Hi Bill, My home is on a gradiant, front of the house is 2 stories, the back is 3 stories. Will this product (karcher kg 31317) provide the neccessary pressure and distance to wash the windows and siding on the 3rd floor of the house? Thank you. Rick. by Rick Bronson from Washington on March 27, 2011
A: The high pressure stream will definitely reach that high using the zero degree spray tip. However, you will only be able to spray detergent at low pressure which will only reach about 10-15'. We do carry a couple accessories that can be used to increase your spraying distance and allow you to spray detergent at high pressure. Using one of these attachments will definitely take care of what you need to do.
I posted links to the products I am referring to below:
I have tried the nozzle one time it was just OK. It did reach very high but pressure was a little low. Will try again, also cost was high.
Pros:Easy To Use
Cons:Expensive

Tim,
I'm sorry you feel the price is high on The Ladder Saver. The folks that developed and manufacture this pro-grade nozzle are pressure washer professionals in Alpharetta, Georgia, so you're not going to see the economies of scale that you would with a mass-produced, consumer grade accessory.
We plainly state in the features "it's long distance, not high pressure", so I hope you will find it suits some of your applications.
I have an MTM 3000 PSI, 3 GPM machine. Just received the Ladder Saver and tried it out. It shoots at least 30 ft with good pressure. I am not looking for a power nozzle, bought it for applying house wash solution and rinsing of high areas.
This product is exactly what I am looking for. The low end Home Depot, Lowe's machines won't work with this product.
Pros:Light Weight, Easy To Use, Durable, Fast
Cons:Shipping

Chris,
I'm sorry you were disappointed. The Ladder Saver is designed for pro units of 3000 PSI, 3 GPM and up. Our Post Sales team will be contacting you through your account with return details.
It only projected about 15 feet using a 3100 psi 2.4 gpm pressure washer. Not sure how the advertisement is achieving the distance they tout and would like to know the circumstances to achieve these results. Very disappointed as this is not a ladder saver.

Thomas,
I'm sorry you weren't pleased with your results. The folks at Ladder Saver say the best results occur around 3000 PSI and 3 GPM and up, so that's why we made sure to include that in our Features.
Have several of them and use them just about every day.
Pros:Light Weight, Easy To Use, I'd Buy It Again, Reliable

Total Waste Of Money, Does Not Do What They Claim It Does

Cons:Low Quality, Bad Instructions, dont shoot 50 ft

Lyle,
I'm sorry you weren't pleased with your results. The folks at Ladder Saver say the best results begin around 3000 PSI and 3 GPM and up, so that's why we made sure to include that in our Features. The more GPM and PSI your unit can produce, the farther the Ladder Nozzle will throw the water.
This nozzle does not do anywhere near what it claims, will not apply cleaning liquid. I contacted the manufacturer two times, and still have not received a call back.
All I told by the seller is, it's supposed to work. I have a 3700 PSI at 4 Gallons a min. machine. $50 down the crapper.
Product Expert
Charles,
The Ladder Saver features page explains that the Ladder Saver will only apply soap if your unit has downstream soap application, meaning it can apply soap with any nozzle. This is usually found on professional grade units.
If your unit uses a black tip to apply soap, a high pressure soap nozzle like those on our Soap Nozzle page will work better.
We will contact you directly with more information.
I just got done trying out this product yesterday. I was going to use it for spraying down a gas station canopy.
Let me tell you, this product is trash, do not waste your 50 bucks. I hooked it up and it barely shoots water 12-15 feet.
And before some pressure washer expert tells me I don't have an adequate washer: I have a Generac 4500 psi 4GPM washer. So, I doubt it's my washer.
If someone wants, I will upload a video with this piece of trash in action. (or inaction I should say)

Jagraj,
I apologize for the issues you are having. First, do you have the chemical injection hose in a bucket of water? If you do not have the chemical hose on your pressure washer in a bucket of water, the item will not perform at all. This is a common mistake when using the product and this will normally fix it right away. Call me directly if this does not fix the issue. I can be reached at 800-710-7499. Thanks
I bought this tip thinking it would spray soap further than the black soap tip. It doesn't. The black soap tip sprays the same distance with a wider fan.
The black soap tip works better than that thing, and that thing is non-returnable. you buy it, you own it, whoopee!! I bought a piece of worthless junk again from this company.
Cons:Equal To A Black Tip
Richard Does Not Recommend This Product

Richard,
The Ladder Saver is intended to work with professional, downstream chemical application units. In that situation it will apply soap and rinse at a greater distance than regular tips.
If you have a consumer style, upstream (soap runs through the pump) unit then the red, 0° tip will shoot water the farthest but you won't be able to apply soap.
Since the Ladder Saver is an item that we stock, it is returnable according to the "Open Merchandise" terms in our Return Policy. The link can also be found at the bottom of our web site under Customer Service.
There is a restock fee if you've tried it out. That allows us to check it and make sure it can be re-sold as new, and makes it inconvenient for folks who might "rent" it for a weekend of cleaning and return it when they're done.
As with the other review you posted, a friend or relative may have a different brand or model of commercial-style pressure washer, and do quite well with the Ladder Saver. It might be worth asking around so you can recoup your investment without worrying about a restock fee.
This thing is amazing , With my 3 gpm machine I can easily hit the peaks on a 3 story home , with my 4gpm machine it just gets humorous. At 4 gpm I can wash my neighbors house from my yard!
This one attachment is going to change the way I wash houses completely. I just did a 2 story house that I had washed 2 years ago , So I looked it up in my notes and found that 2 years ago it took me 3 hours , this time I was pulling out of the yard with the check in my hand at 1.5 hours.
And I have to admit some of that time was playing with the ladder saver.
