How pressure washer throttle controllers work

 Pressure washer throttle controllers act as the command centre for your pressure washer’s engine, efficiently regulating speed to meet the demands of different cleaning tasks. The versatility of these controllers allows for both acceleration and deceleration, ensuring precise control over the engine’s RPMs. Key features of our throttle controllers include:

  • Locking mechanism. Many of our throttle controllers are equipped with a locking mechanism to maintain the desired operating engine RPMs once it’s achieved. This feature ensures consistent and efficient operation during washing, eliminating the need for constant manual adjustments.
  • Engine speed reduction. The decelerator feature steps in when the pump head pressure drops below 215 PSI, intelligently reducing engine speed. This prevents overworking and ensures optimal performance during various cleaning scenarios.
  • Prevents heat build-up. The throttle controller mitigates heat build-up by slowing recirculation during bypass, safeguarding the pump and engine from excessive temperatures. This feature contributes to the overall efficiency and reliability of your pressure washer cleaning systems.

3 reasons why throttle controllers are critical

Pressure washer breakdowns and repairs result in costly and annoying downtime, and throttle controllers are practical solutions to keep your units running during the most rigorous cleaning tasks. Here are three reasons why you should install these devices on your units:

  1. Optimal engine and pump performance. Throttle controllers ensure your pressure washer operates at the right speed, preventing unnecessary strain on the engine and pump. This, in turn, leads to enhanced performance and longevity of these components.
  2. Efficiency during bypass. The decelerator functionality ensures that your pressure washer efficiently manages bypass situations, reducing wear on the system and preventing unnecessary heat build-up.
  3. Consistent operation. With the ability to lock in desired RPMs, throttle controllers provide the consistency essential for precise and effective cleaning. This eliminates the need for constant manual adjustments, streamlining your cleaning process.

In short, pressure washer throttle controllers improve the efficiency and longevity of your pressure washer cleaning systems.
