Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
The water filter on my pressure washer broke! lol
These break pretty easily, don't they?
What's more, the filter part is made of an ultra-thin sheet of iron, and the hose part is made of plastic.
We won't be able to repair it if things stay this way.
I could have replaced the hose's threaded section with a metal one, but for now, since the plastic threaded section fits the 6-bun size, I'll use a 6-bun coupler.
On the filter side, I used couplings with different diameters—a 4-minute, a 6-minute, and a 4-minute one.
If there's galvanized coating, it just sparks and won't weld, so I'll grind off the galvanized coating.
In the end, I peeled it all the way to the top lol
Welding while filling in the gaps.
Since working with thin stainless steel is definitely beyond the capabilities of an amateur, I’ll have Yuki, a college student working part-time at Wakazono Manufacturing, handle it.
I've been training for two years now, so I'm a pro. (If I can meet my clients' requests and get paid, that makes me a pro, right?)
Anyway, this is how it turned out.
Since the machined areas are prone to rust, we apply a room-temperature plating spray after degreasing.
That's great.
Finally, install it, and you're done.
This should last me for a while.
If something can't be repaired, I have no choice but to buy a new one, but if it still works, I'll use it until it can't be used anymore. I'll even repair it if I have to.
Can it be repaired?
How can I start using it?
It's easy to throw things away, but if you learn to use them thoughtfully, it becomes a learning experience.
And then there's profit.
It's just a small thing, but I'm really grateful to be in an environment where I can do things like this.
I am also grateful to be in an environment where there are professionals who can do such things with such ease.
See you later.
