Thanks for the information. One important thing I didn’t see mentioned: on my Craftsman 3000 PSI the soap tank will only work with the low pressure nozzle head. In my case it is the black nozzle.

UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust kzitem.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.

This video was not very helpful to me. I already put in my soap and started to pressure wash. Getting an attachment would be fine if I didn't already start. You briefly mentioned using the soap nozzle (which I haven't been doing) so I am going to switch. But my soap instructions say to NOT USE the product undiluted. I was hoping that you would explain whether or not the soap would come out with a low pressure nozzle (which is what my instructions said). So, I'm going to go against the cleaner's manufacturing instructions in an attempt to drain the tank. I still don't understand if the soap will come out of any other nozzle rather than the soap nozzle.

The soap will only despise while using the soap tip. It works off a Venturi affect. Meaning when you try to pull at a higher pressure it won’t work. Use your soap tip when you need soap and switch to a higher pressure tip and it will only pull water. That being said there’s no need to add water to your soap, just switch tips

So - the first thing that came to mind was - I can go to the hardware store and get a shutoff valve and splice it into the line. Is this a bad idea ? ? I've watched three or four videos now, and nobody has mentioned doing this. As long as I'm asking. How about putting a cap with a tube going into the tank, and just pulling that tube, when You're done, and going a step further and (maybe) put the tube in a glass of water to flush the soap out when you're done.

@enufots4621

Let me explain why...many of these pressure washer uses what's call an UPSTREAM method of dispensing soaps/detergent/bleach from your solutions tank. This means the water comes in from the source (your homes outlet/spigot) then picks up the soap, sends it through to the water pump in your washer and then out through the hose and nozzle. The cleaning solution is very BAD for the water pump and hoses. It will cause damage to your pressure washer over time. That's why they recommend flushing it out with plain water! The better machines are DOWNSTREAM whereby the water comes in, then goes to the water pump, then picks up the soap and then out the hose and nozzle. See the difference? Still a good idea to flush the tank, hose, and nozzle though. So yeah, just buy and use a foam cannon and forget using the builtin tank.
