PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY
Below are common terms associated with the use of pressure washers:
PSI Pounds per square inch common unit measure used for water pressure, air
pressure, hydraulic pressure and pounds of force.
GPM Gallons per minute (litres per minute (metric) common unit measures used for
flow rate of water.
Bypass Mode In bypass mode, high pressure pump recirculates water because the spray gun
trigger is not squeezed.
Thermal relief valve When in bypass mode, this valve releases a jet of water to prevent water
temperatures from reaching harmful levels that damage the pump. Once the
water has cooled, the thermal relieve valve will reset itself. DO NOT allow the
pump to run without spraying (in bypass mode) for more than 5 minutes.
