Regrettably, these pumps lack preventative MX. Replace the pump only when it stops operating. Alternatively, when you notice that it is losing strength/power. Now, always refer to the back of your handbook; it contains a troubleshooting tree!! When to follow it! Something is incorrect. Do not simply replace a pump every 12 months. Perhaps you have a clogged tip! Perhaps the pressure is too low, and I could go on and on. If you use low-cost paint and low-quality materials, the pieces will wear out more quickly. In comparison to, example, $90 per gallon paint. Once more, WHEN SOMETHING DOES GO WRONG. Open your manual and turn to the back to the troubleshooting section. If it says to replace the pump, then replace it. However, a pump that has been properly cleaned! That is, you clean it completely after each job within an hour of it ending or within two days if the job continues the next day. And if you use pump armour, it may last for years or it may last for two weeks. Occasionally, metals include microcracks that can be detected using NDI inspection.
I used it to paint extremely rough stucco and it worked great — I would recommend purchasing a much smaller nozzle. It comes with a 515 tip, which I found to be far too aggressive in terms of paint output. I purchased several different sized tips and discovered that the 311 produced a fine enough spray that I was able to spray from a variety of angles and directions without putting on too much paint. As a result, excellent coverage was achieved, even in the nooks and crannies of the hand textured stucco. As a sprayer, I was really happy with the unit's ease of use and functionality. Cleaning up was even easier than I anticipated. I have no regrets about this purchase.
For automotive finishes, we do not recommend airless sprayers. We would propose HVLP due to its increased efficiency of transfer.
