Anyone got one of these?
How do you adjust pump psi?
Thanks

The alltec version ..  the express uses this little regulator , more than likely same on mini
Its a low flow pump though so you mightn't do  much turning down

Speak to Cleansmart...

It depends on what the original owners requirements were...they are built to specification

What type of pump is it? Some pumps are a set pressure and cannot be adjusted they just run at the maximum pressure they can produce

Take a photo, but if the pressure is meant to be altered then it will have a adjustment screw protruding out of the frame like this....

^ whats the machine in the pic mick ?

anywhere they advertise a 220psi pump , its the aquatec diaphragm pump ,  the one i got with the alltec express has a demand switch ... but also a small regulator .
since then the demand switch burned up ... as they do  .... so i just bypassed it ... and then with some more fooling around i removed the regulator .... so no it just runs full and continuous ... which its happy to do as its an internal bypass .
just to confuse things the 220 pump now has 250 on it ( slightly newer perhaps ) ...on woodbridges site

I’ve had this ages and never used it as it had a fault on one of the vacs but i’ve Fixed that. I’m going to give it a go as a wet vac with auto pump out.

With the recycle system I can put a solution line onto the machine poke it into the drain then  as I work it will pump out the tank as I clean. I will Use my van water pump & heater for the solution supply

I just need to alter the inlet spade to take a 2 inch hose
