After fully cleaning the airless pump I'll also put the housing and tip back on and blow them out with the clean water. Perfectly clean for the next time as well. Nice video for sure!
Extremely helpful for the people who is the first time using airless sprayer. Other video also helping to solve the priming issue after the sprayer has been sitting for a certain period. WONDERFUL INSTRUCTION !!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the feedback 👍

Thank you very helpful video excelente job Master
Allways helpful
Great video
Lot of good details
You’re the best airless sprayer teacher I’ve found so far. Bookmarked all your vids. Thanks for the detailed tutorials!
The liquid in the pump is actually the lubrication for the pump plunger seals. Running the pump dry, is not healthy for the pump. Also, warm water greatly aids in flushing the pump, hoses and gun.
Thank you for your time
Thanks Brother!
Hi there, great video thanks, so what else would you need to do if you wanted to undo and remove the hose for storage purposes do you need to cap off the outlet to prevent the pump armour draining out or has that been isolated due to the sprayer being in prime mode ?
thanks very much cheers Tony
Nice1 josh very helpful.
Les.
Good job man.
👍👍
Champion!
Good job buddy!!!
Thanks!!
i just purchased this airless sprayer because I did not want to spend money on a toy. Real tools work for me. I know nothing about airless sprayers, nothing. I did like this video and I hope that after I am familiar with this machines idiosyncrasies I will be able to use this machine without too much hassle. All and all looks like a certified PIA to get this equipment ready to paint and clean. I need three bucket and more tips
Thank you so much
Very helpful 👌
Very helpful thank you very much. Do you have any trouble shooting videos for airless sprayers please?
Can you do a review video on the 390 classic spray unit you are using in this video please.
You forgot to turn the switch to the spray position when you finished with the pump armor…. So it will stay on the system. Nice video though. Thanks
You do awesome videos
Thanks, I really appreciate it 😀
If you use it for water based paint and then you want to spray clear varnish how do you clean it? With acetone, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, or paint thinner???
What about the water in the hose & gun? I’ve seen instructions to “drain your hose” but don’t understand how to do that 😅 Just hold down the trigger after it’s off to release any pressure?
So if I'm not using pump armor should I just leave it loaded with water? I plan on using it tomorrow.
Hi,
I have a Graco x21 and when starting the filling process most of the times need to fill watter in the system other wise it does not suck the paint. is that usual?
What do you clean one the kids used and didn’t clean . Paint is dry on it .
does this include with other makes like wagner ect
What liquid can be added to the pump area?
Hi Josh Ive just invested in a Graco GX21DF Direct Feed from you - if you could do videos on Initial set up / Operation / Cleaning that would be really helpful as I cant find any just for that model. TIA Mark
I just bought a used paint sprayer. Last guy didn't clean it so dried paint inside it. Will this method clean it?
What do I do with the "gray" water? Pour it down a household drain?
Does this apply to most airless sprayers?
So you leave the pump armor in the machine? Last video you cleaned it out again
Thanks, best how to clean The machine and gun video. The ser up vídeo is also very useful
Thank you! Really appreciate it. Make sure to subscribe, new video dropping tomorrow morning!!
Hi, using solvent-based primer with a 290pc graco, is cleaning with nitro-type diluent sufficient for cleaning or is it recommended to wash with water before storing the pump?
Water is actually an enemy of the spray pump. The interior portion of the pump shaft is carbon steel, and water will cause pitting in the pump shaft, if it sits unused for a period of time. I spray with epoxy coating systems, and clean up with petroleum based solvent. No need to follow up with water.
Tqvm , was using GX 21 for less than 100 litre painting , and I think my cleaning way is not right , and now the machine doesn't work after stop using due to covid 19 pandemic 😞
Hi
What is difference between Pump armour and Antifreeze?
Do you think that I can use and if not why?
Thank you
Pump armor is one ingredient, the exact same ingredient in antifreeze
I'm new to spraying. What's the best method for flushing solvent and shellac based paints?
Use the same process but instead of water use an appropriate gunwash/solvent. 👍
After flushing out water, can we leave the sprayer dry (without pump armor solution) to be used again in a few days?
Use rv antifreeze
(Cheaper)
Always flush again after cleaning filters. Thinner is better for storage for more than a month.
On the newer Graco machines don't they have "FastFlush High-Flow Cleaning System"? Any chance you could do a video on this? Thanks!
Door molding`
Yes I'd like to see a video also?
Don’t u damage the pump , when you empty it, and fill it with air ( prior to pump armor ? ) i heard some people juste dilute pump armor into clean water , and store it as is . Just bought one And îm kinda scared to burn it ^^.
If you don't have any pump primer can you use a soapy water as a pump primer
Don't think soapy water has the same protection properties eg lubrication and antifreeze.
It’s a good idea to leave clean water in the line for about 15 minutes before flushing out the water.
I use 5 gallons of Dasani water to clean the machine. It's kinda pricey at about $15 for 5 gallons.
What exactly will the pump armour do?
naveed khan the pump armour is a lubricant and anti-freeze solution. When used it helps prevent corrosion and helps prevent joints bursting due to freezing when being stored over winter.
Thanks !
Hi if you are using pump every week do you put the pump armour in at the end of each day or just when you are storing pump
Hi. What hapend if i forgot buy pump armor and i finish painting my job friday evening and can't get pump armor until monday? Can i fill pump with water and hold that for weekend?
I actually don't leave any water in unit at all...I disconnect the hose flush out water and squirt a few drops of oil thru pump.......water destroys everything and if it sits for any length of time its not good.....if your using it in next day or so fine but I leave my airless sprayer open and dry from now on.....
i wouldn't worry about it. not the first time i do it. I put
anti freeze if gonna store for a long time.
Do I need pump armor every time? And what does it do
I would say it depends on how long it goes between uses. I'm my shop we rarely use it because we use our sprayer daily.
Just wondering, when putting the pump Armour through the pump, do you also run it through the hose and through the Gun?
Alan McGrath he mention it at 7:56
No.
How do you dispose of the dirty water?
Um he pours it down the toilet or dumps it in a yard somewhere. Thanks to the epa the quality of paint is questionable, but you can damn near drink it.
Where do you dump the dirty water?
In your neighbors yard
Now tell me how to clean out sandtex ultra smooth masonry paint because I've been here fucking ages doing it think I'm going to have to strip it. On your classic 290 model. Also this is my first time using a paint sprayer so any advice would be very appreciated
I have 100 square meters to paint with masonry paint - bought an erbauer sprayer yesterday, first time using it and first time I tested it and I just thought "I hate this damn thing". Just with emulsion it took forever to get the water to run clean. The handle doesn't come off either, the nuts have been fastened so tight. Spanners, wrenches, buckets, hoses, water everywhere, I am ready for taking it outside and sledge hammering it to pieces!
Official instructions do not call on getting rid of the water before running 2 oz of pimp armor. I suspect it's not good to run the pump dry.
Should have flushed and cleaned the filters on the pump and in the gun
Does hot water work better?
Aaron Wilson personally I prefer to use warm to hot water as I believe it does help break down more stubborn residue but, also in the middle of winter on site, it’s a bit more friendlier on the hands, unfortunately hot water isn’t always available.
How about a little bit of washing up liquid (make sure you don't contaminate your paint with it). It breaks up paint residue very well.
@@noslrak2000 I will flush the system, then I run some water & dishwashing liquid thru the pump...then another thorough rinse. This keeps my Graco good for a few weeks until I need it again. If I need to store it for longer, I use pump armor.
you forgot to flush the paint out of the hose first
