WATER SUPPLY
1. Connect the water supply to the 3/4” female garden hose swivel on the water inlet port of the unit.
Connect the other end of the hose to the pressurized water supply. The supply hose should have a
3/4” inside diameter (ID) and be no longer than 50 feet.
2. The water supply pressure must be a minimum of 20 pounds per square inch (PSI) and a
maximum of 125 PSI. The flow rate must be at least 3 gallons per minute (GPM).
3. Use a water softener if there is high mineral content in the water of your area. High mineral
content causes excessive scale build-up in the coil/heat exchanger.
4. Un-roll the hose reel and then connect one end of the high pressure discharge hose to the water-
gun assembly.
