With the 5 gallon jug open end pointed up so water doesn`t drain, screw in hose and then take other end of hose to pressure washer and attach to pressure washer. Lift 5 gallon jug to highest surface possible so gravity will feed the pressure washer and water drains through hose to pressure washer. Don`t forget to open air vent of the jug to assist flow and with the pressure washer turned off, squeeze pistol till water starts to dribble out and of sprayer. When water drips out, pressure washer is primed and ready to turn on.
I cannot emphasize enough use a low gallons per minute pressure washer. If your pressure washer gpm is too high, water will not reach it fast enough. I use the lowest gpm karcher. Even with that pressure washer, I get a hesitation every once in a while but not enough to make me not use this system. If I regularly did not have access to a home or business water supply, I would buy an on demand pump but for the few times I need it, this system is fine.
