Detergent to Water ratio

Adjust the Dial-N-Wash

®

dial to increase/decrease

detergent flow. Most power washer chemicals are
generally concentrated within that range so minimal
adjustment is required. If you feel like you are using
more detergent than is required for the application you
can dilute it with regular tap water. (see section 4.3)

Detergent - What to use

We recommend that you use a cleaner which is
specifically designed for power washers. There
are different kinds available depending on the
application. Check with your local Home Depot
store for the product which is best suited for your
needs. Never use Bleach, Ammonia or
Hot water in the unit.
