Splash You may be restricting the flow at the tip especially when using an upholstery tool. You may need to enlarge the tip size. You may also have a partially clogged internal filter. Next time, buy from an informed source and you will not have to subject your new pump to damage and a shorter life span. ------------- Kleen Kuip Supply Mart Inc. http://www.kleenkuip.com - New & Used Professional Carpet Cleaning Machines, Restoration Equipment, Training, Service and Supplies |

I had a rapidly pulsating action, many years ago, which I thought was very effective and would love to have the same facility right now.
There was some comment on a U K board a year ago, when someone apparently had a pulsating valve, but unfortunately I never followed up. ------------- we try harder and it shows |
