an uploader is a spring mechanism that allow trapped pressure ( like when you stop pulling the  wand trigger, but the pump is still pumping) to flow into a second solution line and return to a holding tank or to the pump supply line.

it can also control psi, if the pump produces 3000psi it can send 2500psi back to the tank and only 500psi to the wand

Oh I see , seems over complicated to me , another expense and more moving parts to go wrong .
I am trying to go simple = easy to operate= cost effective.

Think Gunny was smitten with Paul Kings beast of a machine. Have to say the thing is awesome. Not pretty but pretty awesome.

Interesting thread!

I've been saying to the guys in the window cleaning section who carry a big guttervac & a huge generator that an engine with a blower attached would be a much smaller, simpler & more powerful solution.

I've been looking on ebay for ages though & have yet to find a suitable blower cheap.
