I added my own. A general pump metering valve on the hp side of the pump. It makes some very HOT water.

It has been useful in quite a few situations. Less water to deal with for interior cleaning when a wand is used. Can adjust pressure of the surface cleaner for delicate surfaces as well.

May be advisable to have an adjustable thermostat as well.

How does that work? Can you be a little more specific.

Rather than all the water going out the one port, to the unloader and then to the burner, you install the valve on the other hp outlet and bypass water either to the tank or to the pump again.

The burner will get less water to heat, so it will make what it gets hotter depending on how much you bypass.

You do not want to run this valve after the pressure switch for the burner or it will continue to run after you release the trigger, due to the flow of water.
