Bosch Self Priming Kit (Compatible with: EasyAquatak 110/120, UniversalAquatak 125/130/135, AdvancedAquatak 140/150/160, AQT 45-14X/33-10/33-11/35-12/37-13/40-13/42-13/45-14 X)

I bought this for my Bosch Aquatak 100 Pressure Washer so I could use a 25L water container as a water source for washing my car. I live in a rented property so wasn't able to use a hose pipe. Works great, just requires a little squeezing of the tube poking out the neck of the water bottle before the pressure reaches high enough to get a strong jet. Made washing my car very easy as it makes the pressure washer portable for moving it around different sides of my car. Slight leakage from the attachment into the pressure washer but not much, only a bit of dripping. Very happy with my purchase, fairly cheap accessory to get more use out of your pressure washer and make it portable. Probably use a lot less water for the whole job as well :)

Works well once pump is primed, very good pressure from pressure washer.

After buying a Bosch pressure washer, I needed this to use stored rain water to clean car and patio. It worked well but needed a heavy weight to keep it at the bottom of the water container being actively supplied from a nearby water butt. There was no noticeable drop in pressure without the mains pressure behind it. Worked really well. Slightly expensive but probably worthwhile.

You can make your own up. But this is genuine Borch quality. It's perfect for use when using a pressure washer. for the car or Patio, etc., no need to drag the hose pipe through the house to the drive. Makes life much easier, "I'd recommend.

Expensive for what it does but still valid to avoid priming the washer prior to start cleaning.

First of all, £27 (with a discount) for a small piece of hose is a total ripoff. Second, the product doesn't work. I followed the instructions, I tried to prime it first, and nothing worked. I risked to burn the motor of my pressure washer because no water was being sucked in. I just printed my return label and asked for a refund. With this kind of money I can buy a proper hose and connect directly to the tap or fabricate something for much cheaper. Save yourself some money and don't buy this.

Works a treat

Anyone thinking of using this kit with their AQT would be well advised to have a chat with the Bosch UK Garden Tools department, to find out how best it can be used. The AQT User Guide doesn't say, and the Kit's own bit of paper is equally unclear. For a start, chucking it into your water barrel won't work, as the filter nozzle and pipe will simply float on the surface! It has to be persuaded to fill with water before it will sink, but the best method is to connect to the tap which is, hopefully, at the bottom of a rainwater tank. That means a different connector on the hose (ie without a filter, so beware of debris in the source tank); or just use your garden hose with a rubber "squeeze" connector on the tank's tap. Either way, let the hose between tank and pump fill before turning on the pump. Water will eventually come out of the trigger-unit if the nozzle is left off, unless trying to run the hose uphill, of course. With the 3-in-1 nozzle on the AQT's lance, there is sufficient pressure to use either of the cleaning nozzles, but the third just sends out water with little pressure - could be useful for watering the garden, but that's about it, and best used in shortish bursts so as not to overheat the AQT pump.
