Water coming from my pump

Trying to include video but it’s saying it’s the wrong file type. I’ll upload to YouTube and then link it

Nevermind. It was my detergent line. Still doesn’t get any water to the pump though. How do you check if your pump is froze up (bad)

Did you winterize it??

Damn, I was out of the country. Forgot all about it. New pump or seals?

You might want to pull the pump apart and see if there’s any damage. Can you see where the water leaking from? Maybe it’ll just be a hose fitting that makes it look like it’s the pump. Be sure to look and see exactly where the water is leaking from before pulling it apart so it’s easier to find the damage.

The only water coming out was coming from the detergent line. That is the only water coming out of the pump. Nothing coming from my gun. Gotta go thru it Monday after I do some research and a lot of YouTubing.

When you say “detergent line” are you talking about the suction line that’s hooked to your down stream injector or are you talking about a different pump like a 12v or pnuematic?

Suction line yes for DS

Sounds like the injector may also be faulty because it shouldn’t be flowing backwards out of the suction line. I’m sure you know this but they have to be installed in a certain direction. There’s an arrow that marks the direction of flow. Even if the injector is faulty I would think you would still be getting some water out of the gun. If the injector orifice is larger than the gun nozzle maybe not though.

I’m taking it in on Monday. I hate when dumb mistakes cost me money. Live and learn I guess. We will see come Monday

I hear you. We’ve all been there and done that. Lord knows I have over the years.

I know how pre-deployment is and especially with a wife and/or family. There are a million things on your mind that you’re mentally trying to check off of the list and I know a pressure washer was the last thing on your mind and very well should have been.

Maybe just remove the injector so you can take it out of the equation for now. Any chance the pump just needs primed due to sucking air? Is the unloader doing anything when you’re on the gun?

Not that I’m seeing. I walked away because it only pisses me off that I did something this stupid
