Problem With Surface Cleaner

[ROBERT MCLAUTHLIN 14]

Over The Week End We Were Doing Work Over At A Steel Mill. We Had Some Concrete To Pw We Were Using Our Surface Cleaner And One Of The Nozzels Was Not Pushing Out Any Water Out Of It. So I Took It Off And Cleaned It Out And Put It Back On And It Still Had Problems With It. Did This Ever Happened To Any One. How Did You Fix It. Is It Something As Stupid As Replacing The Nozzels. The Steel Mill Was Dirty, Dusty, And Crappy We Ended Up Wanding The Whole Thing So I Think Maybe That Was The Cause.

all those capitals make me dizzy

Did you test to see if water would even come out that end of the spray bar(hold spray bar and engage unit). What kind of surfacer do you have?

its easy to damage a s\c if a stone gets picked up by the jets and bounces around at speed or perhaps you never cleaned the jet or it blocked up again....a filter inline after the tank would help....i cannot see a jet being blocked up from from dirt you was cleaning....;-)

I had a small piece of steel shaving caught in one of my nozzles before that almost eliminated any useful flow through the orifice. Take the nozzle off and make sure you have a clean line of sight through the hole. If some trash made its way through your pump, it would likely accumulate in this place.

We use to have this problem from time to time.

Switched to about 95% s.s. plugs and couplers on everything and installed an inline filter at the rotary union.

No more problems!
