Getting a lot of nozzle clogging

Im thinking it may be the orings i use. It seems to happen after using heat for an extended period and its on smaller nozzles. Is there a filter that I can use on my surface cleaner and are there particular orings that should be used for hot water pw. Viton?

Viton for sure, but with hot water you'll still lose them.

When was the last time you descaled you burner coils. I use heat and lots of it, but I know I need to descale again as I have the rusty water color and crap I am seeing way too often.

De what now? Never but unit is 4 months old. Tell me more

Daniel, we can get you a high pressure filter to go in line with your surface cleaner. Call me.

Did you Fix it?

I have high pressure filters on 2 wands, with so much scale in the coils these can easily fill up in a day or 2. How hard is the water you are using for washing?
Go look up hard water buildup

Benjamin, what's your descaling process?

Our water is pretty liquidy.

Did i fix it? Im ordering some filters so that should help. Those nozzles are toast. Nozzles are fairly cheap but six start to add up.

For me descaling will be a little easier as my burner is a separate unit from my pressure washer. I have quick connects rights before the flow switch so I just disconnect the pressure wash pump and put another pump to suck from a bucket. Put a hose on the exit to the same bucket and make sure the pump is sitting an inch off the bottom. Let the descaler circulate for a couple hours and then connect everything back up and flush out the burner with fresh water for 10 mins with nothing on the end of the hose. Hard water with lots of heat will cause the buildup to happen to quicker. I run a lot of wet steam jobs in the winter and do a lot of steaming of heavy equipment all year around.

My bigger burner has more issues as it can make more heat, my smaller burner doesn't make enough heat to have had issues yet.

This really should be a preventive maintenance thing as a clogged coil will stop you mid job if it gets too bad.

how often

You shouldn't need to descale very often...every couple of years unless the water is extremely hard.
