Re: Pressure washers and frost

My Karcher had numerous warnings about frost causing problems. It's be in the garage every winter for the last 4 years with no problems. I think the main thing is to make sure as far as you can that it's totally empty before storage as water expands when it freezes.

Yup,disconnect water supply and run until empty before storing. Mine's almost 10 years old and it's never frozen in the garage.
