How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before removing hoses.

  • Check water level: Ensure the clean tank is at least half full to prevent air being drawn into the pump.
  • Bleed air: Run the pump with trigger held open and tool held low until a steady stream appears.
  • Flush debris: Fill the tank with warm clean water and run through the system to flush the solution pump.
  • Inspect pump: If noise persists, remove the pump and check for play in the shaft or internal damage. Replace the complete solution pump assembly if worn.
