Help! I’ve got a 4gpm direct drive and I’m having air in the pressure line. I’m losing a little bit of pressure and my pressure line has like air gaps in it. I think it may be a problem with my unloader or my downstream injector. Any ideas??
I don’t know if this is for reals or not
I thought for sure you would give mention to the 100+ gallons (placard?) of sh strapped down with lego-grade ratchet straps.

It’s “for reelz” I need help man. I know the injecter would be pulling air but I’m using high pressure and I have plugged it now and it’s still happening
There is so much wrong in that pic but not any info to keep answer the question lol
What’s wrong with it man?
Your barrels are unsecured. You plumbing coming from the injector is backwards. You have a leak. Tell us how you are feeding the pump.

Backwards?
Direct feed straight from house. House is giving roughly 6gpm
I still vote for the injector. How did you ‘plug’ it?
1/8 plug
This doesn’t look plugged.
Also when he says ‘backward’ he means the quick connect fitting coming off the injector should be a ‘male’ fitting instead of ‘female’ but that’s not the air leak issue.

Yeah i got the plug to try after the pic
Backwards is a little strong😂 that’s how it came and fit whip line perfect
Backwards is backwards. I don’t know if that means strong or not. What’s with the leak. Of water can come out, air can come in
I think “backwards” is a strong word.
I’m not sure but that was leaking before this problem
Ok. You have it wrong. Maybe that’s better clarification. You aren’t going to get much feed back with the limited info you have given and lack of video. Your problem is on the right of the pic though probably
I’m just not understanding man? Are you saying my quick connections are reversed and that’s wrong. Is it not more of a preference thing either way?
Where is all that water that’s spewing out of the right side of the pump coming from? That is more than likely where you’re sucking air in from. You can’t have leaks on your rig. It’s not something you just overlook. Like IBS said, if it’ll leak water it will suck air. Air then eats up the seals in the pump. Or, even worse, it will eat the brass surface that those seals mate to and then you’ll be replacing the entire manifold instead of just the seals.
Every garden hose and firehose in the world lead with the male end. Friction loss. It’s not a preference thing. It is doing it right or doing it wrong.
Bro what u talking about I have the male side hooked up to the pressure washer.
That is coming out of the thermal blowoff part.
