What to do if the Milwaukee M18 TP flow rate is too low?

John BishopAug 4, 2025
If the Milwaukee Water Pump's flow rate is too low, it might be due to several reasons. The inlet/outlet line could be clogged or damaged, or the inlet connection may not be airtight. Also, the impeller cover might not be secured tightly, or the impeller itself could be worn out. You should replace the inlet/outlet line, check for blockages, kinks, or bends, and clear any obstructions. Ensure the inlet connection is tight, using a gasket if needed. Hand tighten the four cover screws. Also check the impeller.
