Why Airless DP6825 pump cycles but does not build up pressure?

If your Airless Paint Sprayer's pump cycles but doesn't build up pressure, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure that the pump is primed. Check the inlet screen for clogs and ensure the suction tube is fully immersed in the paint. A leaking suction tube can also cause this issue; tighten the connection and inspect for cracks or leaks, replacing it if necessary. Additionally, a worn or obstructed prime/spray valve can be the cause; clean or replace the valve. Lastly, a stuck pump check ball can prevent pressure build-up; remove the outlet fitting and clean the outlet check ball.
