Pressure washer foot pedal?

[inkman996]

We have a https://www.arnorthamerica.com/products/ar-blue-clean-power-washers/industrial-line-power-washers/ar630-hot-power-washer/ar-blue-clean-ar630tsshot
The switch burnt out one of the contacts and I am waiting on a new switch through snail mail. Its a rocker switch that breaks both the hot and neutral so i could not source it except through an AR dealer.

Before I put it all back together I was thinking it would be ideal to have this thing on a foot pedal instead of having to always walk to it to turn it off and on. But I do not know how to do this with out running full voltage hot to the pedal and that is bad being in a water area. Is there another option that uses a safer low voltage method? Maybe air activated or something? I do not want to get to complex using relays or anything.

TIA

McMaster-Carr has everything you need. Get the "Build Your Own" pedal of choice and choose a switch to fit. Super
simple, highly recommended.

That is awesome, I never thought it could be that easy. Already ordered one, I hope it can stand up to a lot of abuse. Thanks

We replace probably yearly. We actually keep spares on hand haha. Well worth it though.

We've running ours with a pedal for 25 years, a no brainer for sure, be sure to have a good switch, we have motor starter between our pedal and motor.
