    • J
      Jacqueline FitzpatrickSep 8, 2025
      If your Graco Controller has no fluid flow, the issue could stem from several causes: a plugged fluid inlet (flush the fluid line and regulator), an exhausted fluid supply (check the fluid supply and supply pump), no air inlet pressure (check the air inlet pressure), a ruptured air diaphragm (replace it), or ruptured fluid diaphragms (replace them).

    Why is the fluid flow low in my Graco Controller?
    • M
      Michael BrownSep 7, 2025
      If your Graco Controller has low fluid flow, it might be due to an incorrect ratio. Ensure you are using the correct spacer and ratio piston for your desired ratio. The fluid supply pressure may be too low; increase it, but do not exceed 300 psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar). Alternatively, the air inlet pressure could be too low, so increase the air inlet pressure.
