KärcherWater Suction Hose with Filter - For Electric Power Pressure Washers

Works perfect on the Karcher to pull water from a bucket.

Excelente producto para la hidrolavadora muy necesaria para usar con cubetas de agua en donde no hay llave para conectar manguera. Excelente

Had trouble getting pressure initially from the lake about 4 ft lower than the pressure washer. Filled a bucket and put it level with the pressure washer and it took about 3 minutes to get full pressure through the system but finally started to work with full pressure. The pressure is higher out the nozzle when hooked to the garden hose than the lake but its adequate and better than not having anything down at the lake dock which has no other water source.you may even want to prime it with a garden hose before try passive flow.

Back flow valve is very poorly executed hard to keep hose primed, maybe my expectations were to high. AlsoIf you plan on using this on another brand machine you’ll need to put a standard hose fitting on it

Amazing product. I use this with the Karcher K3 pressure washer!Much better than the Caraid. The suction hose allows me to use this strong pressure washer with the water source being directly from a bucket of water. Have no access to a garden hose at my apartment.Figured out through trial and error it is best to have the bucket sitting on top of another bucket upside down so that the water source is slightly elevated helping suck the water towards the pressure washer for the first initial pressure build up for a few seconds. After that it's instant portable washing power provided you need just a good power source outlet.I also bought the great foam cannon attachment with some "Meguiars gold class car soap".In love with this thing!

We bought this to use for washing our solar panels. Our well water is very hard and leaves a thick white deposit, so we have to import RO water to wash the panels. Our Karcher pressure washer brochure suggested that we purchase this suction hose to allow us to pressure wash from a water source other than a hose.We tried everything, but were never able to make this thing transfer a single drop of water to the pressure washer. Very disappointing.

A hose is a hose, it does what it's supposed to. The main reason I'm writing this review is to let everyone know that it DOES work with a 1600psi K2 washer, just like it says in the chart (when scrolling through product images).It does help to have the water source elevated and it takes a while for the unit to prime (turn it on ans squeeze the trigger.. you will see the water get sucked up and then it'll take another 30 seconds or so for the unit to fully prime).So.. if you're looking for a way to mostly wash your toys (cars, etc) using standing water, it is not necessary to spend more money on higher psi models. This hose does work with K2 1600psi.

Try to makeshift a hose to use as a siphon hose. I've seen several testimonials on how they DO NOT work on Karcher Pressure Washers. Mine stays coiled & is not weighted, so it doesn't drop to the bottom of water source. That causes a flow problem, unless you suck the hose to start the flow! Even then, it stops flowing often & causes you to restart the process & potentially overheating the pump(If water cooled)! That totally defeats the purpose & is a health hazard if your water source isn't sanitary.
