Title: Flushing machine and hoses/wands
Post by: Jason Hedges on September 19, 2005, 01:31:28 am

Hi all,

My prochem machine seems to have lost solution delivery power in the last few weeks. Does anyone have a remedy for running a solution through the equipment to break down any blockages or build ups?

Any suggestions very gratefull,

Jason.

Have you checked the wand filters?

Could be limescale build up due to our hard water.

If you don't run an acid rinse, go to Hugh Crane and get some "Phos" descaler, mix it about 50 to 1 and run it through with the heater on for about half an hour. You can also run it through your tools into a bucket.
When you've done run plenty of fresh water through everything.

If you do run an acid rinse, your pump may need re-building or changing.

Thanks Lee, I've checked the filters and they're clean.

Thanks Dennis, I'll pick some up next time I'm at Hugh Crane.
