Gutter cleaning takes more than extra reach.

A telescoping wand raises the nozzle to gutter height. The curved Gutter Cleaner attachment redirects the spray down and along the trough, reaching leaves, grit, and packed debris where a straight wand cannot.

Length gets you there. The attachment’s angle puts the spray where it needs to go.

Before you start, check for:
• Wand length that reaches the gutter without overreaching
• A nozzle angle that directs debris toward a downspout or exit
• Couplers that stay locked under pressure
• A balanced setup you can control with both feet planted
• Flow and pressure ratings that match your washer

Work in short, controlled passes near a downspout. Let water carry loosened material toward an exit instead of pushing debris deeper into the system. Pause if the wand begins to flex or a connection moves.

Keep the job on the ground. Do not operate a pressure washer from a ladder. Check for overhead electrical lines, people, windows, and fragile surfaces. Use eye protection and follow the attachment and pressure washer manuals.

Quick connect or threaded? Start with how you use your setup.

Quick connect fittings are useful when you change hoses, guns, wands, or accessories often. The system uses a coupler, plug, sleeve, and seal. Pull the sleeve, insert the matching plug, and release to lock.

Before use, check the plug profile, coupler size, O-ring condition, and pressure rating. A connection that is only partly seated can leak or release.

Threaded fittings screw together to form a stable, low-profile joint. They suit semi-permanent gear setups and compact assemblies, but take longer to change. Check whether the connection uses NPT, M22, or garden hose thread, and use the correct sealing method. Watch for cross-threading, over-tightening, and the wrong sealant.

Before connecting either style, match all five:
• Thread or plug profile
• Nominal size
• Pressure rating
• Temperature range
• Material

Looking compatible is not enough. Two pieces can still seal poorly or restrict flow.

Before disconnecting, shut the machine off, relieve trapped pressure, and let hot components cool. Never force a fitting that does not seat cleanly.

Which matters more in your setup: faster swaps or a connection that stays assembled?

Not all pumps handle what is in the water.

Choosing a pump starts with the material you need to move, not just the amount of water. A pump that handles clear water efficiently can clog when debris reaches its internal passages.

Know the three types:
• Water transfer pumps move clean or lightly silted water, such as tank water or clear runoff. Larger debris can clog or damage them.
• Semi-trash pumps handle light solids and heavier silt, bridging the gap between transfer and full trash pumps.
• Trash pumps have wider internal clearances for debris-laden water. They can pass larger solids, within the specific model’s limits.

Before choosing a pump:
• Look for silt, mud, leaves, twigs, and other debris.
• Check the model’s maximum solids size.
• Match the pump to the material, not just the water volume.
• Follow the manual’s setup and operating instructions.

A trash pump is not a catch-all for any material. The type and size of debris still matter. Checking the water first can help prevent a stalled job and a pump that needs clearing partway through.

What do you pump most often: clear water, silt, or debris?

The worst time to test a generator is during an outage.

Storm readiness starts before the forecast turns serious. A generator that starts at idle still needs to be checked with the equipment you plan to power. Find problems while you have time to address them.

Run through this pre-season checklist:
• Start the unit and test it under a suitable load, following the manual.
• Check the oil level and service it when due.
• Inspect the air filter and spark plug.
• Confirm the fuel is fresh. Old gas can cause hard starts.
• Test each outlet you plan to use.
• Inspect extension cords for damage and suitable ratings.

Plan your operating location before you need it. Keep the generator outdoors, at least 20 feet from doors, windows, and vents. Never run it inside a home, garage, or enclosed or partially enclosed space, even with the door open.

Carbon monoxide is a serious risk. It has no colour or smell, so do not rely on noticing exhaust to warn you. Use working battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarms in your home.

A short check now can reveal a problem before the next outage.

Which generator check is still on your pre-storm list?

PSI measures the force of the water. GPM measures how much water moves through the system. Together they determine cleaning units, so the best pressure washer balances both for the job.

Which matters more for your work, PSI or GPM?

Rule #4.
If you swapped nozzles and now your pressure is off, the or***ce is probably too large for your machine. Nozzle size is matched to GPM. Check the tip before you blame the pump.

Rule #3.
Pressure drops under load when the unloader valve is stuck in bypass. It's one of the most misread symptoms in the field: looks like a pump problem, usually isn't. If you're running in bypass, fix it fast. Heat kills seals.

Rule #2.
If the engine won't start, check the oil before you check anything else. Most engines have a low oil shutdown that cuts spark when the level drops too low. It's a safety feature — not a failure. Takes ten seconds to fix.
