I’m convinced that they are secretly gathering, waiting to wage a war on all pressure washers. They probably have their own sub reddit and a private facebook page.
Seriously, I disconnected my hose reconnected it, turned on unit, and water came gushing out of the quick connect. I keep a bunch of orings, that isn’t the problem. I couldn’t find it and I had the gun and hose on the trailer for a quick test. Just odd. Maybe it was a free range o ring.
On a side note, just got my order of quick connect fittings. Man did they go up in price. That one fitting almost doubled in price since the last time I ordered them.

We only disconnect a hose when it blows so we can replace it. Granted that seems to be every six months now instead of once a year or so
Something to look into also is we never blown a o ring in the first two years and last week we replaced 5… now i need to buy more.. hmmmmmmmmm
Glad you popped in here, since you have probably forgotten mor about pumps than I will ever Know. What would be the best replacement pump for a GF 8040? I can’t even find a GF 8040 on the internet, guess they stopped making them when I bought mine. Google keeps giving me the HP 8040 as a result, but I don’t trust them.
Getting some belt whine periodically, could just be loose and need adjusted, but knowing my luck once I mess with something…
Hp is the same thing. Udor was the Cadillac of pumps for 20 years, but no longer. Legacy HD pumps, GX8030R, is a good pump. Always try to find one with U packings instead of V packs, and the heavier the pump the better.
