What an Unloader Valve Does
An unloader valve is a critical safety and performance component that:
- Regulates operating pressure
- Diverts water flow during bypass operation
- Protects pumps from excessive pressure buildup
- Reduces wear on hoses and spray guns
- Extends equipment life
- Helps maintain safe operating conditions
When the trigger gun is closed, water is automatically redirected through the bypass circuit until spraying resumes.
