    Why Fountainhead Paint Sprayer leaks at pump or does not build pressure?
    • Z
      zgibsonJul 31, 2025
      If your Fountainhead Paint Sprayer leaks at the pump or doesn't build pressure, it could be due to several reasons: 1. Dirt or debris on the pump gasket or closure. Clean the gasket or closure to resolve this. 2. A chipped, torn, swollen, or defective pump gasket. Replace the old gasket with a new one. 3. A faulty check valve at the bottom of the pump assembly. Replace if missing or damaged. 4. A worn or damaged o-ring on the piston. Replace the o-ring if it's worn or damaged.
