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.
