when i turn the water hose on water comes out from the trigger area and it won’t stop. i made sure that there is a washer where the hose plugs into the unit also.

YOU HAVE A SEAL/RUBBER WASHER THT IS Terrible

No problem as long as you protect them with a spray on oil before you use it again

I have a small rooftop "deck" in Manhattan that is in serious need of cleaning. Being on the roof, though, I have no way of getting a hose up there, and if I tried, I’d probably be evicted. Are there any alternatives to spraying the deck with a pressure washer after using the deck cleaner? All of them seem very adamant about the "rinse with pressure washer" part. The deck is a 7′ x 7′ platform composed of 2 x 4’s and rises about 7" off the ground.

You could use buckets of water and a brush. Or, seriously, try to time the wash just before a rain. I have done this with cars and driveways. Its the perfect season for it. Use environmentally safe products though.
Excellent luck.

I am mural-painting an exterior concrete block which is the base for a metal traffic control box. All of it will be painted. I read on the interwebs that it’s best to pressure-wash ext concrete before painting, but I have no access to water for the pressure washer. Do I have any alternatives?
I could transport *some* water to the site, just there is no hookup for a hose.

i’d transport some water there. use a semi-rigid brush, water, and some concrete cleaner (check out Thompson, they make one) to scrub the concrete.
rinse very well (even if it just consists of repeatedly throwing water on it).
allow the concrete to dry thoroughly (i’d leave it for a day if it’s sunny).
PRIME the concrete with a concrete primer (if you don’t the mural paint probably won’t stick that long) and let that dry thoroughly.
do your mural!

Hi, how can an air compressor be used as a pressure washer? I assume some sort of attachment with a place for a water hose to be attached? And where can I find such an attachment? Thanks in advance!

use a sand blaster instead of sand place the hose in water it will shoot it out of their like you wouldn’t believe.
