Downstream Bypass

Downstream Bypass

A downstream chemical injector bypass is a system or feature that allows the user to bypass or disengage the chemical injector when it is not needed. This can be useful if the user wants to use the pressure washer for plain water cleaning or if they need to switch to a different type of chemical solution.

There are several ways that a downstream chemical injector bypass can be implemented. Some injectors have a manual bypass valve that can be opened or closed as needed. Others may have an automatic bypass system that is triggered by the pressure or flow rate of the water.

Having a downstream chemical injector bypass can be convenient and allow the user to easily switch between using chemicals and plain water without having to change the setup of the pressure washer. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the bypass system properly to ensure that it is effective and safe.
