Mytee M5 question

[kevinj61]

Is it normal for the solution tank pump to run constantly or should it only come on when you pull trigger on your wand?
on the mytee M5

 

[dgardner]

It should run continuously.

 

[kevinj61]

thanks Dan--I thought so but wasn't sure

 

[Goomer]

Did you buy an M-5 already?

 

[kevinj61]

Yes goomer I did already by the Mytee M5--works great also bought the hot turbo heater the one with 4 heater switches that works very good as well as long as you put start out buy putting hot tap water in your solution tank then when it runs threw the heater it get really hot

Congrats.
When you get a chance, open her up to get to the lower compartment that contains the vacs and pumps. You will see 2 clear hoses connecting to the inside of the rear fill connector and pump out connector. They should each have 2 hose clamps on them. My clamps were loose from the factory and slipped off during one of my first jobs. I have heard of this happening to some others. I put a thin coat of flexible GOOP on the barbs and tightened them down securely. Something you might want to check.

thanks goomer i'll do that, have you heard of anyone taking out the pressure sensor switch or anything like that onthe mytee hot turbo heater so it won't leak if your psi is too high

Good advice, Thanks. Mytee has already made that change in our production models. We changed to high temperature hose with swedged on fittings.

That's the relief valve. We removed it and change an internal hose.

how do you remove it, is it hard and is it safe for the unit itself because i would love to do it please help!!

I used a 175 with a shampoo brush and Rick Gelinas' soap, Release-It. Worked good for me.
