TOOLCY 1" Shaft Pressure Washer Pump 4400 PSI with Adjustment Unloader | 4.2 GPM Horizontal Gas Power Washer Replacement, Direct Drive Triplex Plunger Pump

I'm new to the pressure washing business, my stock, 4400PSI 4.2GPM Predator pressure washer stock triplex pump failed on me. I don't have a large budget to purchase the name brand replacement pumps so I took my time and combed through more budget friendly pumps. I settled on the Toolcy because I liked what I seen from others. Well I cannot say enough about this pump. First off the cost 1000% in anyone budget, the replacement process was elementary, the pump fit 100% perfect and the power from this pump is out of this world. I use the glycerin gauge to set the pressure and the needle on the gauge never feathered or vibrated. It was rock solid the entire time. For anybody looking for a replacement pump, do yourself a favor and look into this product because you will not be disappointed! My only recommendation is maybe put a rubber gasket between the brass garden hose connection to whatever hose connection you use.

Needed to replace my pump on my predator 4400 4.2 gpm. This pump was very easy to install on my machine. Just watch a video if you’re unsure, you can find it. When I was sure it was attached correctly I fired er up and it was working GREAT! I’ve only used it lightly multiple days in a row so far so take that for what it is but it works with this machine. Good for a backup pump too

Fit perfect

I bought my Simpson pressure washer about a year ago. It was 4 GPM and 4200 PSI, but the original pump died. I replaced it with this pump, and honestly, this one is much better. It works perfectly, has great pressure, and runs smooth. I’m very happy with it.

If you're handy with mechanical things, this job is doable. If doing this for someone else, be advised that removing your old pump is seriously difficult so charge appropriately. Now, here's what I found:The pump arrived fast and damage-free being packed great in form fitting foam.First problem was that the included 1 page "manual" didn't say what type oil is recommended. Because it comes with oil already installed, that won't immediately be a problem but it shows me the incompetence of the manufacturer.Second problem: Before I installed it, I wanted to adjust the unloader down to a low setting because the new pump's PSI rating is higher than my old pump. The unloader handle would not turn by hand so I put a cloth rag over the handle and used channel locks to loosen it. That worked and showed what had happened at the factory. They obviously used some kind of power tool and tightened the unloader handle over top of the master adjustment ring with the setscrew locked down. It was so tight over the adjusting ring that you couldn't even see the ring. To fix, I oiled the threads, loosened the allen screw, tightened the adjustment ring all the way down to the bottom tight, and reinstalled the handle. Works great.This pump does NOT put out the pressure that they say it does but it's good enough for me. My 13 HP engine couldn't take much more anyhow so that works out. By adjusting the unloader down too hard, you can work your engine to the point of destruction so be careful. If you have less than a 13 HP engine, use caution adjusting the unloader down too hard. At the very least it will cause the engine to kick back when trying to start it and that could hurt you when pull starting the engine.Other points: with the pump off, lightly sand the rust off of the engine shaft using 120 grit sand paper. Wipe clean then coat the shaft with 'never seize" that you can get at any local auto parts store. You only need a tiny amount. Why? When you pull your old pump off, you'll know why. It took me hours and hours to get the rusted engine shaft loose from the pump coupler. I never want to do that again.The pump comes with a key but you don't have to use it and you don't need to use the setscrew that locks down the key to the key-way - that's optional. It comes with new bolts but just use your old ones if they're in good shape.If the new pump will not pump at first, take out your tip from the wand, start your engine, then press your handle to run water through the hose and wand. When running clear, use your pressure washer's instructions to install a new/different tip because your hose/wand/tip may have been clogged.Don't run the new pump too hard right at first. It's basically a 3 cylinder car engine in reverse so break it in slowly.

I've been using this for about 2 months now and it has incredible pressure and has worked flawlessly. The prices incredible considering the bigger brands charge about 4 to 5 times as much or more I will be buying another.

Recomendado

I would not recommend this pump. It was advertised as 4,400 PSI, but after just two uses, it stopped delivering the promised pressure. It worked the first time, but on the second use the pressure dropped significantly, making it almost unusable. This product failed far too quickly and appears to be very poor quality. I expected it to last much longer than two uses. Very disappointed with this purchase.
