i've an AR pump, 3600psi @ 14gpm(i think thats the conversion, its speced at 30lpm) run by a 20hp Honda, with a K7 bypass system. I've a 't' fitting before the bypass that allows me to dump water straight into my recirculation tank, if I require a lower water amount to apply my chemicals (brickcleaning mainly). The machine is 18 months old, and has never missed a beat and have only cavitated 5 times tops (other trades turning off the water when I wasn't watching!), but the problem I have encountered is that the hose was slightly 'twitching' when I was power washing the walls. I have pulled the pump down, and all the valves were fine, but the high pressure seals were damaged.
Upon replacing the seals it was happy days for a few days, but it is now starting to show signs that the seals are going again!! Any ideas as to why this may be the case? Seal kits over here (Australia) are an expensive commodity, as most distributors know they have you by the proverbial when it comes to costs, so I don't want to be replacing them every month!
