Sure could use one of those rigs now, how far do you travel with it, and did you get it all winterized?

Then ideally run some watery mud through it first. My rig tends to bind a few times after I put a new stator tube on... till it's worn down a bit. Also never (or at least rarely) do a complete washout of a rotor stator pump with just water and if you do DON'T LET IT JUST SIT CLEAN it will be much more likely to bind up. if you want to let it sit clean run a little dish soap in the water and leave it there as a lubricant. A clean metal on rubber pump is hard for the spray rig to get moving till it has some mud for lubricant. Now you may have a mechanical problem besides but this is the first place to check. If you can turn the pump by hand and then switch the rig on and it still won't turn... then start looking elsewhere.
As for the adding soap I was told by the manufacturer to only use green palmolive

How do you keep your mud from freezing in the hose running to the house? Spray fast so it creates enough friction?

i see all of the post for spray rigs. Do yall do that much texture? We barely get to do any except for apartments. No one wants texture down here. Its all slick

Re: What types of Spray rigs do you use or like?


i'll have to clean up the rig for pictures but i use a 2000 Freightliner FL50 with a 3126 cat that pto powers a atlas copco compressor with 10 gallon air tank to power a grover 10:1 pump and a 300 gallon hydrolic mixing tank, also setup to run a second material pump if need be, it also has a 350 gallon pressurized water tank and the air/material lines are 350ft and i use a step saver pole gun made by pumping systems(psi hackle) in milwaukee who also built the whole rig.

with the economy right now we only do about 200 houses a year, when we are doing good we do around double that.

Break out the pressure washer so we can see some pics.
wow i had no idea others were not setup with a regulator right at the gun for the pump speed, that would suck to be setup any other way, even our old rig with the 7d binks on it had the regulator at the gun to adjust pump speed, the only problem i ever have is if paint or sand spray plug up the air cap it will send paint down the air line and into the regulator and then i have to pull it apart and clean it right away.

i love our water tank, the only thing i would change would to put a sight hose on it like cement trucks have to see how much water is in it, psi does have a pressure washer option we could have had in the setup but the boss decided to be cheap and not get that, the rig sure does make for a great shop compressor though, my impact gun never runs out of air
