honda pressure washer question

[boostn]

I have a Honda pressure washer that I recently bought from Home Depot and I was reading where someone posted about putting a fuel filter inline to prevent any garbage getting in there. I went to buy one and they had two one for mowers with a fuel pump and one w/out. Which one do I need?

XR2600 is the model number of the honda. It is the 5.0 hp engine. The pressure washer is not the hot water version. Are the darker spots from too much pressure or too little. Can I use a attachment like you described on the unit I have and also use the etching solution? It has a chemical valve on it to add the soulution.
Yes I used the wand only on the patio.

Any other advise is greatly appreciated.

One of the things you can try is use a 20% mixture of bleach to water and use your chemical pick up. That may help. The etching chemical is sulfuric acid, and without experience and proper equipment, don't use that.

The unit I use for concrete is a separate unit. You could try to rent one. They are 3-500 bucks.

Hope this helps.

Honda never made a pressure washer, only the engine that goes on them. They have a filter in the tank so i would not put one on.

This is what the patio looked like after I was done. I don't know why it is darker than the other spots. The patio was all one shade. Anybody ever see this? I did the front walkway last summer with similar results but they were only spots, not whole areas.
Thanks for any help.

I have a Honda engine on my pressure washer. It has a factory inline filter and a fuel bowl.

First of all you need a hot water wash and use an etching chemical. This will prevent some of the problems. And I use a swing-around with 4 rotor arms. Yours looks like all you used is the wand. The swing around looks like a wax buffer shell with 4 spray arms under it and they rotate using the water pressure. You get even distribution. Your patio looks like the results of only using a wand with to much concentrated pressure as you are working. Just a guess from past experience.
