Why does my pressure start and stop as soon as I turn it on? Most of our Sun Joe pressure washers are equipped with a Total Stop System (TSS), which is a micro-switch sensitive to water flow. When the trigger is released, water stops flowing through the pump and the TSS automatically turns the motor off to protect the pump from overheating. This saves energy and prolongs pump life. To activate your pump, simply pull the trigger. The TSS will then turn the motor back on and you can start cleaning. For further information or questions, please contact our customer service team at (866) SNOW-JOE. Related articles Why does the motor buzz and fail to run?
