Hey, Hey, Hey
Thinking again. The other day I was on a commercial flat work job when my unloader quit unloading. When I let go of the trigger it would not go in bypass mode. I guess it was bypassing anyway or the hose would have burst. What scared me more was, I was using hot water and as long as I had pressure the heater was running. With limited flow through the heater I could have damaged it. Anyway I finished the job by holding the gun open all the time to avoid damage to my equipment. I took the unloader apart looking for a damaged part? Nothing. Put it back together, same thing. Put spare on, No problem. Luckily I keep an inventory of spare parts, belts, unloader, injectors, quick connects, o rings, nozzles, etc. Anyway I'm thinking if when you let go of the trigger and the pressure in the hose builds to a point, the trapped pressure actuates the unloader to bypass, right. Now, my question is how does the flow actuated bypass work and are they better. I have noticed they cost a little more and you don't hane that sudden burst when you first open the gun. I have also seen a hybrid that claims to be the best of both. Any comments...Hotwaterwizard???
