Why is the discharge pressure low on my JETStream Industrial Equipment?
- L
  lindsey79Aug 20, 2025
  If your JETStream Industrial Equipment experiences low discharge pressure, several factors could be the cause. The nozzle might be too large or worn, in which case you should replace it. Insufficient water tank level can also lead to this issue; try filling the tank and unplugging the vent. An inaccurate pressure gauge could be the culprit, so consider replacing it. Other potential causes include slipping belts (increase belt tension), leaking or sticking pump valves (service or replace valves), worn pump plunger packing (replace packing), leaks in the control gun, hose, or fitting (repair or replace), or a dirty filter bag (replace filter bag).

- A
  Aaron ParkAug 21, 2025
  High discharge pressure in your JETStream Industrial Equipment can stem from a few issues. The nozzle might be too small, requiring a replacement. Another cause could be a restriction in the hose or lance; test the hose/lance without the nozzle to check. Lastly, an inaccurate pressure gauge can lead to this problem, so consider replacing the gauge.

What to do if there is excessive pulsation in pump discharge in my JETStream Industrial Equipment?
- K
  Kimberly CollinsAug 25, 2025
  Excessive pulsation in the pump discharge of your JETStream Industrial Equipment can be caused by several factors. A low water tank level is a common cause; try filling the tank and unplugging the vent. Leaking pump valves, broken pump valve springs, or worn pump plunger packing can also contribute to this issue. Additionally, slipping belts or a dirty filter bag may be the cause. In such cases, increase belt tension or replace the filter bag accordingly.

How to troubleshoot pump noise in JETStream Industrial Equipment?
- A
  Audrey DavisAug 26, 2025
  Pump noise in your JETStream Industrial Equipment can arise from several causes. Check the lubricant level and fill if it's low. Pump cavitation can also cause noise. Ensure plunger clamps are tightened, and inspect for worn bearings or crossheads, replacing them if necessary. Also, check for excessive crankshaft end play and adjust it accordingly.

Why is the packing life poor in my JETStream Industrial Equipment?
- M
  manuel10Aug 27, 2025
  Poor packing life in your JETStream Industrial Equipment can be attributed to several factors. Hot water can be a cause, so ensure the temperature is at 125°F max. Insufficient water flow, dirty water, or a scored/pitted plunger may also contribute. Additionally, check if the gland nut is loose and tighten it if necessary. Clean or replace the filter if the water is dirty, and consider replacing the plunger if it is scored or pitted. Adjust water flow if it is insufficient.

What causes high pump packing gland temperature in JETStream Industrial Equipment?
- B
  beckmeghanAug 30, 2025
  High pump packing gland temperature in JETStream Industrial Equipment can be caused by insufficient packing lube water flow; increase the lube hose pressure. Additionally, ensure the guide bushing holes are clean. The water may also be too hot; the maximum temperature should be 125°F.

What to do if the engine will not increase in speed when control gun first closes on my JETStream Industrial Equipment?
- D
  Daisy LambAug 31, 2025
  If your JETStream Industrial Equipment's engine does not increase in speed when the control gun first closes, the engine idle speed might be too low; try increasing the idle speed. Alternatively, the gun nozzle might be too large; decrease the nozzle size.

Why won't the engine return to idle when control gun dumping on my JETStream Industrial Equipment?
- C
  Christopher JacksonSep 3, 2025
  If the engine of your JETStream Industrial Equipment will not return to idle when the control gun is dumping, it could be due to excessive hose back pressure; try reducing the hose string length. Another possibility is a sticking throttle control piston; in this case, repair the throttle control unit.
