The popularity of household mini-sinks is explained by the fact that this modern technique allows car owners to return the perfect appearance to a vehicle with any degree of pollution in a matter of minutes. Using such economical devices is very convenient and profitable, and simple recommendations will help extend the life of this reliable but expensive equipment.

Tip number 1. Do not forget to release the pressure at the end of work

This important recommendation is present in the operating instructions for any mini-wash. After all, excess air in the pump will instantly cause a water hammer, which in turn significantly increases the load on all parts of the device, which can cause serious damage. However, the attentive owner of the minimac, who has read the instructions, can easily avoid this trouble and extend the useful life of the useful device, if each time after stopping the unit simply pull the trigger of the gun to release excess pressure.

Tip number 2. At the end of the work, it is necessary to clean the nozzles from foam

Experts recommend the use of adapted cleaning products designed for non-contact washing during the operation of the high pressure washer. Otherwise, the foam, which is a complex chemical with a high concentration of alkali, will simply clog the nozzle passage and will gradually corrode the foaming agent. However, when using high-quality cleaners, it is necessary to clean the nozzles from dried foam and wash the foaming agent each time after work, unless of course the owner of the device does not want to significantly reduce the life of the household mini-washer.

Tip number 3. Do not store the device in a cold room.

Leaving household minisinks in rooms with negative temperatures is not recommended for the reason that water may remain in the nooks of this device. When the temperature drops below zero, the water will freeze and begin to expand, which will inevitably lead to damage and the formation of cracks on the device.

Tip number 4. No need to pull the trigger once again

If a gun appears in a person’s hands, it is quite difficult to resist pulling the trigger. However, the owner of the minimoyka must remember that the gun is a rather complicated mechanism. Therefore, every extra pressure on the hook speeds up the process of wear and breakage of this system of springs and joints.

Tip number 5. Do not exceed continuous operation time.

The manual for household high-pressure car washes necessarily indicates the permissible time for continuous operation of the device, which depends on the class of the device and can range from 15 minutes to an hour. Experts do not recommend violating this instruction in order to extend the life of the motor and so operating at the limit of its capabilities.

Tip number 6. Only use the sink for its intended purpose.

The performance of each household sink depends on the size of the surface and must be indicated in the technical data sheet of the device. Therefore, when washing a truck using a household appliance designed to take care of a bicycle and a small car, overload is inevitable, which in the best case will lead to a reduction in service life, and in the worst, to serious damage to the device.

Tip number 7. Before supplying the device, water must be filtered.

Water from municipal utilities can not boast of special purity, since it contains a large amount of salts, minerals and particles of heavy metals. Therefore, such a liquid will slowly but surely destroy the car wash. However, the owner of the device can avoid this trouble with a fine filter, the price of which is much less than the cost of repairing or buying a new unit. At the same time, the owner of the sink should periodically remove the filter element from the device in order to rinse and clean its mesh cartridge from small particles.

Each of these recommendations really works and significantly increases the life of the car wash. Hundreds of car owners who were left without warranty repairs of their washing units, which had failed prematurely due to improper operation, had already managed to verify this.
