The pump packings on my airless sprayer are wearing out prematurely. What could be causing the accelerated packing wear?

Operating the sprayer with a clogged inlet strainer or without the inlet strainer. • Priming the unit without using the prime valve. • The throat packings have not been inspected/adjusted on a regular basis.

• Packing Seal liquid is not being used. Keep packing nut ¾ full of Packing Seal liquid. • Water or paint is being left in the sprayer instead of cleaning and leaving mineral spirits or pump storage fluid in the pump lower.

• The pump cylinder is worn and should be replaced. • A kinked or clogged siphon tube. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
