I have a 2005 Troy-Bilt Briggs and Stratton still going strong. Bought a spare water pump for it 5+ years ago for it just in case. Still haven't put it on. As with anything maintenance is the key. 2700psi.

I agree with the honda part, the nothing over 2400 or 2500 psi for what you are doing, and the triplex pump. I had a concrete business years ago now, though I still clean and seal stuff and I clean the equipment on the farm here. The little honda washers I have owned were the [bleep]! And don't loan it out!

Jake has one he let freeze, whoops. That's what heated garages are for. I did put 60/40 antifreeze in the new/used ATV that will go outside for the rest of the winter once I get the new shock and the various removed parts back on. Waiting for the shock. (reordered) - maybe by Friday. Tho I don't expect for it to drop below -35 ( 50/50 blend), one can't know.... It should be good to 50-55 below, just sitting. Not going to see winter use, probably. One would think a local Yamaha dealer would at least have the crush washer gaskets for the fluids' drain and fill holes on hand, but nooooooo. But that's all done. Anchorage had one set, except for the radiator drain plug. turned out the old one looked good anyway, so now I have 2 spares of that. So I have spares for everything next time, if I can find them again several years hence. I put them in an empty plastic container, marked it, and shelved it in the automotive section. Not that that is going to work, necessarily.

I have a simpson 3500 psi with Honda motor. It works well but I haven't used it much. Bought it end of year clearance at Sam's club for $250. It was normally $600.

Dont let it sit and run if your not spraying,
As others said, don't let it freeze,
And protect the fuel when it sets.
Also, if you engine is good when the pump dies,
Look into a rebuild,as before stated, or just replace the pump.
Northern hydraulic is one source for pumps.

Was given a washer that “didn’t work”. Had a Honda motor. Bought a cheap pump off Amazon and it’s been washing well for 6 or 7 years now. Also have an old Cheapy Troy Bilt.
Volume of flow is more important than pressure for what I do.

Go to your local equipment rental co.
See if they have a used rental for sale, or see what brand the rent and buy same.
They don't buy junk to rent out.

I've got a Simpson gas powered pressure washer that will cut grooves in my driveway concrete with the tightest tip.

If you’re in an area with freezing temps they make some winterizer you hook up to the hose inlet and spray in it. I run non ethanol in all our small engines if possible. Freezing temps? In Alaska? Nah....
