thanks for all your help guys,
once I will get my Lube and will use for regulator and cam I will say what I got

[Radek Jablonski]

Ok, got the Lube yesterday.

unscrewed the brass k n o b and this is inside of it





movie showing the water coming out from regulator:

after cleaning and after Lube added, hand tool attached straight to the regulator, seems to work better but with the 15m of solution hose works bad again. Before cleaning and lubricating was working bad even just with hand tool (without hose).

here is the cam and pump bar




here is the movie showing how is the pump bar moving, not too stiff?

Replace regulator, or install a repair kit if the regulator is leaking.

[Radek Jablonski]

what is included in the repair kit
how old this parts from the regulator looks like Ed?

[john martin]

I'd say these are regulator kit parts ...  yours looks pretty old to me

[Radek Jablonski]

under the link I can see some extra part I did not see, mean that plastic ring

did you order from them before, how long is waiting for uk-ie delivery? any cargo problems or something

I'd say these are regulator kit parts ...  yours looks pretty old to me 

hmmm, it should be brand new 

[john martin]

The Steambrite guys are in the USA Radek ... might be easier to source from one of the UK suppliers .

Cleansmart sells the regulator kit. Doesn't cost much.

There's also a video on youtube showing how to change it. Its easy and you'll also have to change the white plastic disc (its part of the kit) that's behind the metal plunger thing that your holding in the picture. You'll need a small drill bit to remove it.

Apply lube to everything before putting it back together.

The pump bar looks smooth enough. Remember to apply lots of lube to that bar before putting it together.

thanks, have sent a message to cleansmart

Radek;

Hard to put a number of years old those look ; however, I would safely say; "Old" & worn.

Further I suggest first cleaning the cam motor bearing and greasing it with a clear silicone grease before replacing the pump head.

I believe that Solutions UK also carries a full stock of replacement kits.

best;

Ed,

those pictures you can see above shows the effect of service carried out by Solutions in Cornwal if any was done  

so, need to buy a regulator repair kit, pump head kit and cam and do it proper and soon is possible
but why do I need to pay for it twice, shame,

Kit A Pumptec plunger/seal £45.00 + VAT
Kit B Pumptec valves £30.00 +VAT
Kit C Cam bearing £15.75+VAT
regulator kit ?  guess around 20+vat
delivery £28+Vat

and I have around £165 extra to £117  that I have already payed  
very good bussiness done  

could try first just with regulator kit but if not work then another delivery cost

[john martin]

 Radek , you need to refer ED to the ' Magic service ' thread four pages back ..

 This is ridiculous  , Ed is in the business for 40 years and he said the regulator was not serviced  , if you have paid for parts you should at least get your money back .

Radek

I’m no lover of solutions UK and will never be but can you post there service invoice on work carried out not that I disbelieve you but it should be itemised like filling the screen washer £1.60 if you get my drift

[Radek Jablonski]

John, do you think that Nick will give back those 117 proving that he wasn't right, I say he will not? Legal action could be the only way but is not worth it, this is only 117. He still owes me alta spray tip and standard 2" cuff that I payed and never got.

Ed, here you go http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=167205.0   if you bored  
if you will read and if you do some opinion probably it will be on the Nick's side but I do not care, so feel free.

Len, no problem, just give me few sec



edit://
origanally it is pdf, I did a screen shot



and there is also something I forgot,
interesting is that one time I was told "We removed the pump and motor and from the machine and replaced the internal poppet valves and seals, we do not leave fingerprints inside an machine when we are working that would not be professional."
and in another message I was told "The motor/pump was spun upright still inside the machine the pump was opened seal replaced and then refitted"
one sentence is opposite the other one

[des]

Mine is just like your's .Have you run the machine with an open end on the pressure pipe so the air can be released back into the tank and then turn down your pressure and see if the pulsing stops .I get the banging when i release the trigger

[Radek Jablonski]

many times I did it Des, many times.

[john martin]

 I'd say they thought you would be ' soft touch ' Radek
  and it leaves you with a potentially unreliable machine costing you working downtime .

At least you have proven your doubts to be founded .



 

[Carpet Dawg]

Quite damning evidence right there.... I didn't realise you had also paid for a regulator kit already.

I still don't understand this not cleaning the inside of the machine while working on it!?! The internals NEEDS to be cleaned before AND after the work has been done! It makes the work more clean, professional and it just makes sense to do it that way.
And the strange thing is that it only takes like 2 minutes to preform this basic task.

The defenders of the realm will be along shortly to rip you apart Radek. Be strong brother.

[Len Gribble]

Got to ask as per picture there seems to be a lot of residual in the regulator presumably you fill fresh water tank with a bucket what one?

Looks like graphite grease in pump head not good practice methinks (think Ed agrees with me )

On the positive side you now have a suppler in Dublin

Len, the dirt in the regulator can be new after descaler, still have it in the solution tank, even after cleaning new one will come up
the regulator is/was leaking a bit so it could be it. Well used piston is the thing.

I have a 200lt drum on the van and I am filling using garden pump, new clean one.
