I have a bruin ii and when I prime the chemical it shows full flow, also I have an open hose hooked up to a shutoff valve in my extra solution outlet, and when I open that the chemical shows flow, but when I use my wand or upholstery tool the chemical is not flowing. I just replaced the chemical pump for a new stainless steel upgrade, but same problem. any ideas on what is the problem?

Pressure regulator problem

$

0
Pressure regulator on my Prochem Performer doesn't go past 700Psi. Does anyone know how to fix it? I still have plenty of oil in the pressure pump. I can easily change the pressure below 700, pressure is steady, no pulsating.
I have just noticed the problem recently when I was about to start cleaning tiles, and the regulator wouldn't turn beyond 700. I didn't want to force turn it, so I just cleaned the tiles with that pressure.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Performer 405 timing chain

Ok, so my P405 has this ticking & I'm pretty sure it's a loose/broken timing chain tensioner. Now I remember this engine from way back when I was a teenager in my Dat 521 P.U. but man try to find any parts supplier for this now whew! Anyways, what I'm wanting to know is, what is the common or identically interchangeable engine references for this A-15. So that when I finally do find where to get parts for it, I can just make it a lot simpler to order. Is it just an early '70's L-16 motor???...

03 Prochem Legend se excessive water pressure.

My Prochem Legend SE has excessive pressure. The pressure gage is stuck at 1500psi even with the machine off. If I connect a cleaning wand and start the machine the pressure overcomes the control valve and water flows even with the valve closed on the wand. I want to remove the pressure regulator but I have no way to relieve pressure at the pump. My high pressure shut off switch must not work either cause the machine runs with the high pressure. Two Questions would a faulty pressure...

Hi all,

New guy here, I have a prochem blazer xl with nearly 1000hrs.

The problem started a week ago with loss of vacuum and no heat when the machine is running.

With the vacuum port's clear and machine on full throttle it's reads in the middle of 0 and 5hg

With vacuum hose connected and on full throttle it's in the middle of 5 and 10hg

I always use to cover the vacuum hose with my hand before starting the job for 10seconds to build up the heat but now as soon I do that I can hear...

Putting new resin in a Prochem water softener

I think my water softener has needed new resin for a while. I have never been able to find a cheap, easy way to even tell if I have soft water. My machine doesn't seen to have hardly any scale related problems like I had before I got the water softener which I bought used off E-bay several years back so I don't even know how old the resin is for sure. I talked to Jondon and they gave me some info on how to replace it and it sounds like the hardest part will be getting the tank lid off and...

Thank u in advance. I have this prochem legend se( older) and the water is overheating causing machine to shut down while I'm not using the water. I clean the filters and orifice.The only thing I didn't do is to clean the solinoid for water temperature because I didn't have special wrenches to open it. I used vinegar to clear all the plumbing pipes but It's no luck.

Performer Chemical Pump

What's up everyone? I need some help. I have a Pro Chem Performer first off. About a week ago I noticed that my rinse chemical was being used. This is weird because I JUST spent $1200 on it at the shop to fix the things I couldn't. So I take the chemical pump off and open it up and there is no disk in there. The diaphragm looks good but I think they forgot to put it back in. The check valves look and feel good. Shit I even think they got replaced. Ok so with all that said which way does the...

ProChem Legend Bogging down under load 900 hours

So my Legend GT has been a great machine. Just recently it started jumping all over the place when a load was put on it. Once we put the hose on it really bogs down. Cleaned all 3 heat exchangers, New plugs, new air filter, new waste tank lid gasket, no blockage, cleaned the carb. Runs great until you hook the hose up. When you plug the vacuum it gets to about 7Hg then tries to die. Any ideas?

I got a prochem legend that the engine rubber seal popped out. I was cleaning and engine shut off and smoked due to empty oil because of the leak. The tech. said he can replace the seal but it might pop-out again due to preassure and engine worn. It means no guarantee how long it will last. The engine has 3700hrs. He decided to pushed it in the old gasket and run it,add oil and it worked but He don't know how long it will hold.. Do you think 0ver $3000 with labor (engine is ch20s spec #...

Temperature gauge stuck

Does anybody know what would cause the temperature gauge to be stuck at a certain temperature, although the real water temperature is much higher? My gauge started acting up last week when it was stuck at around 150 F, then all of the sudden it went up to 210 F, which was the correct temperature. This morning the gauge was stuck at around 150 F again..I had the gauge replaced about 2 1/2 years ago, so I'm hoping that I could fix the problem instead of having it replaced again.

How often are you forced to replace a fuel pump?

Tomorrow I'm taking my van to mechanic to have the fuel pump replaced. It died right before I was about to pre-spray the carpet. It'll be my 3rd fuel pump in the last 3 years. What a pain..They all have been different brands.
Is it just me, or do you guys have to deal with changing them that often as well?
