pump issues

[prestige cleaner]

what are some signs that your pump is going out or needs to be replaced. experiencing some delayed pressure if i dry pass for short amount of time and i trigger the wand little or no pressure comes at that point, its after a few seconds that i will regain pressure again after i have been holding the trigger. once i regain pressure at the wand and continue to trigger the wand on the back pass and continue pressure will hold up. its a 3cat pump.

sounds to me like it may be more of an regulator/unloader problem....

Can you feal a vibration in the wand ? Your pump might be thursty

Orings on the plunger(s) are bad.

If you have any shuttering or spasming going on that's my guess.

if the pump sucks any air in you will get a pulsation in the solution line and it makes your wand feel like its vibrating, the pump sucking air, or running dry is a bad thing, check the strainer and float in your water box!
