I like the idea of the idle control,.I had thought about that in the past and I know they have been around for a long time,...I always liked the way a compressor will idle back when the system is pressurized. The issue I thought with doing this with a PW would be the washer would have to be using full pressure to make the idle control work and kick the engine back up to MAX RPM? I use big low pressure nozzles for house washing,..the only time I use any real pressure is with a rotating nozzle or surface cleaner.
Am I correct in my thinking on how this "idle down" function works?
*On a side note,.I don't see why using a ball valve to lesson the strain at start-up would hurt anything,..when it's open,..it would simply flow,....when it's shut,..it would be no different than the plug being in the outlet.

The only problem I can see with that is if you have a long run of hose say around the back of the house and the chem injector on. You would have it on concrete or somewhete where it wouldn't hurt any plants.
