I just bought a bottle, this showed me exactly how to use it! Thanks!
Ethelene Glycol is the primary ingredient in pump armor, also known as antifreeze/ radiator fluid. It’s what prevents the paint from drying inside your sprayer and won’t freeze
There are many types (colors) of antifreezes, do you know which one is good for Airless?
Good job.
Short and sweet.
Great video!
great video
Great video
i love this guy
Absolutely superb. I have discarded two Magnum sprayers because the manuals do not discuss freeing the inlet and outlet ball valves. This seems to be a common problem which Gracie needs to address upfront in their manuals.
InstaBlaster...
Can you expand on this? What should I do to the ball valves for long term storage?
What about the spray gun? Do we need to flush the spray gun and long pipe?
Korg!
can you use wagner machines with this product?
Does this fluid protect against hard water deposits?
Can i use my airless for water and lacquer ?
I thank you for this. Graco's instructions can be a bit...convoluted.
For sure, one, off, on, off...etc. Terrible instructions. In fact there seems to be an error in one diagram from what I read and see on line.
@@LiveGoodSMW Yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking about. To say that Graco paint sprayers are temperamental would be an understatement. But, they are relatively easy to fix.
Never get ripped off again 5ltr anti freeze £11.99 amazon
If it’s going to drop around freezing you need to fill the hose
Thanks for the video
What about the hose , im curious about paint drying up in the tube wall . No need to fill pump armour?
I run pump armour through my hose as well and leave it in the hose and gun.
Question... I noticed that you had Pump Armor left on the drain tube after the first prime and before you flushed it. Does the Pump Armor need to remain in that hose while in storage? I only ask because when I did this on my X7 there was no Pump Armor left on that hose and everything went into the waste bucket once it circulated thru the sprayer. Thanks in advance for your comment.
I was almost sure of myself but just wanted to make sure you were doing the same thing
So, it is "prime & store" as opposed to "flush & store", right?
Another great video Josh! What would be the process for a sprayer with a hopper? I’ve just got a GX21 cordless with a hopper. Bit confused on how to go about it 🫤
Have left paint “unwashed” my gx21. Cleaned every part, changed gauge. Dosent work. How to know pump is dead?
Hi check out this other video we made which might help - ruclips.net/video/B8UEH7dt4V8/видео.htmlsi=YS3EKgCWKNMg4D1D
Rv antifreeze is way cheaper.. pump armor is a rip off
Is it ok to run it through the gun as well if you are going to store it?
Yes.
I heard paint thinner with mineral spirits does the job too!.
Yes, whenever I'm done spraying, I use water to flush out all the paints of machine ,hose,and gun ( if you use oil based paint, don't use water. Skip to paint thinner) then 1gal. Paint thinner till that's all trhough and paint thinner can sit in the machine, hose, and gun ( I do take the gun apart and clean it at the start and put new filter in the handle, unless the filter is really clean and I'll reuse it)
is this good for other brands of airless sprayers?
Yes
Does anyone store the hose with antifreeze in it? Or do you leave it dry after cleaning it?
Do you have to use the pump armor before the 1st run?
first time on latex, use water on first time oil base use mineral spirit
Is there no need to run it through the hose?
@Mike Studmuffin That makes sense. The guy that trained me always had me run it through the hose. I never considered that it might not be necessary until I watched this video and noticed that he didn't. Thanks for the reply.
What type of sprayer are you using
It literally says it on the side of the sprayer and on the bottles. He also mentions it in the video.
So you have to use armor fluid after every day of spraying.
i've never used pump armour on any of my sprayers and they all work fine, one is at least 15 years old and still going
Mainly storing for long periods of time. But if you don’t use it, there’s a chance of getting sticky steel balls. Then you’re messing around stripping it down before you even start your job as the pump won’t prime. Well worth using in my opinion. Helps keep the pumps seals lubricated as well.
@@LostInDistance I agree. Cheap insurance.
@@steve0874 that’s because it was built 15+ years ago 😂 their built to break now
Yeah what is the point of the anitfreeze if you don't fill the hose? Your machine might not freeze but your hose and gun with be ruined potentially. This gives the false idea that people can then store their machine in the shed or vehicle in freezing temperature after using this, but that is not the case.
I thought you were supposed to store these units with it set to prime not spray. You set it to spray then that is it!? I'm new to airless spraying. Can someone enlighten me?
I was also curious on this, he left it in spray? was always told to leave in prime? did you find a answer
@@jord1215 store it in prime..
@@garethkennett5168 did you get told this? the guy said leave in spray haha
@@jord1215 I know it fuck t with me to but prime is the resting position for these machines apparently leaving in spray position too much pressure on machine or something.. have used my unit abit now and have sussed it .. I had no clue at first but now I kinda sussed the machine.. the spray part is easy.. it was always for me learning and cleaning the unit
Sorry I can't find my reading glasses and can't really see what I'm typing but I don't think it matters that much prime or spray settings when stored .. but look in to it. I'll try again when I find my glasses!
