    What to do if the Graco Controller pressure drops below the setting?
    • F
      Frank JonesSep 16, 2025
      If the pressure drops below the setting on your Graco Controller, it could be due to a damaged or clogged air regulator or line, an empty or clogged supply line, a clogged air spray gun or fluid dispensing valve, or using the regulator beyond its rated flow capacity. Clear any obstruction in the line, service the regulator if necessary, fill or flush the supply line, or install additional regulators.

    How to fix an erratic or accelerated Graco Water Pump?
    • K
      Kathy LesterAug 31, 2025
      An erratic or accelerated Graco Water Pump could be caused by several factors. First, check if the fluid supply is exhausted and refill and prime the pump if needed. The fluid might be too heavy for pump priming; in this case, use the drain/purge valve. Another cause may be a held open or worn intake valve or seals; clear the valve and replace the seals. Also, check for a held open or worn priming piston; clear and service it as necessary. Finally, worn packings in the displacement pump can cause this issue, so replace the packings.

    • D
      David CraigAug 31, 2025
      If your Graco Water Pump operates but the output is low, this could be because the fluid is too heavy for pump priming. Use the drain/purge valve and consider using a ram. Alternatively, the intake valve or seals may be held open or worn. Clear the valve and replace the seals to resolve this issue.
