Bc window 14 Report post Posted November 14, 2013 Just got this unit how do you run the bypass. It has a low pressure hose running from the pump into the unloader. Do I disconnect this hose and put cap in the unloader and then run the hose into the buffer tank? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John T 744 Report post Posted November 15, 2013 Take a close look at your unloader. See if it has a bypass part to it. It may be closed off. If it is take out that block screw and screw in a hose barb then put a hose on that to a holding tank. This way when you depress your gun the unloader will switch to allow water to go into your holding tank. From the tank the water goes back into the pump. In essence what your now doing with the unloader in bypass the water just keeps circulating through your pump then to unloader then to tank and back to pump over and over again so pump will not overheat. This stops when you squeeze gun where now water goes out of your wand and the pump as in bypass keeps circulating water so it never heats up to cause damage. That should do it:) 1 Bc window reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doug T 19 Report post Posted November 15, 2013 you almost got it right...disconnect the line at the pump, plug that hole, and run it from the unloader to the tank. Try to connect to the tank away from your supply line. 1 Bc window reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
