Get the PERFECT Spray Pattern! Airless Sprayer Tips

What happens here

Remove and inspect the gun filter located in the spray gun handle. If it's clogged, it will restrict paint flow, forcing you to crank up the pressure, potentially damaging the filter or leading to inconsistent spraying. Similarly, check the manifold filter on the pump itself. Keep both filters clean by flushing them with appropriate cleaning solutions daily. The presenter recommends using a 100 mesh filter on the gun and a 60-80 mesh filter on the manifold. Using a coarser mesh on the manifold allows larger particles to pass through to be caught by the finer mesh gun filter, preventing the manifold filter from clogging prematurely.

Goal: Inspect and clean both the gun filter and manifold filter to prevent clogging, which can lead to high-pressure requirements and poor spray patterns.

pattern low overspray you could have a clogged filter that means you're gonna have to crank your pressure up really really high if you crank it up too high you're all the way up full pressure you're still getting fingering tip or the this this gun filter could be clogged and I've seen it's happened to me in the past is so clogged is trying to push the paint through it splits the gun filter right open ruins your gun filter so be careful with that you don't want to ruin the gun filter because there really lasts almost a lifetime if you clean them every day the same with a manifold filter and then depending on products for another video filter size you could have too small of a filter that could be causing pressure issues at the gun I'm typically almost 99% of the time running a hundred mesh filter on the gun and usually around an eighty mesh filter 60 to 80 on the manifold filter right there I want more things to slip through the manifold filter get to the gun and the gun to catch the rest but if you strain your paints which you should always do straining the paints is gonna eliminate that but clean your gun filters and your manifold filter on your pump there's always gonna be a manifold filter to clean that make sure it's clean we didn't used to strain our paints ever I
