What's up with FloJet Pumps?

[BLewis]

Had to take my PC 650hp in have the FloJet pump looked at. It had been leaking for a couple days then quit altogether. Last week they replaced it under warranty and on a big job today the new one quit working after only one week! No leaks or no signs of a premature failure. My V didn't have one of these pumps and I must say it's being quite the PITA.

Funny you say that. I had to deal with the same problem recently. Our pump quit on us at a job and created quite a challenge! Brought it in and they replaced it - then BOOM, same problem. They said it was the fuse. This was on our ThermalWave

Your talking the transfer pump right? Not sure they have been a bugger why we use the mytee http://www.superiorcleaningsolutions.com/servlet/the-1339/Mytee-Truck-Mount-Transfer/Detail or the shurflo http://www.superiorcleaningsolution...5/CARPET-CLEANING-EQUIPMENT-TRUCKMOUNT/Detail

Longevity on those pumps have been all over the place for me, some as long as 2 years, some 2 months...

Does anyone have parts on hand to deal with these situations? Good God, a pump costs 1-200 bucks and you can't have an extra on hand?

 

[Chris A]

I usually have an extra, but its such a pain in the ass to crawl back there, I usally just hook direct the rest of the day.

Yeah, usually I carry enough spare everything to finish the job or day. However this pump thing is new to me do I'll have to learn. We did finish that job and 2 others and headed to a job now
