    General pump keeps breaking valve seats

    Any experience with this? 15 years in business, never seen a pump do this. I'd estimate a valve seat (any of them) cracks and breaks every 40 to 80 hours. I normally run TS2021s but is a TS1321. It is rated at less psi and GPM than the TS2021 but yet it has a larger bore, 22mm vs 20mm...

    Fuel nozzle in burner

    Quick question for the equipment expert. Do manufacturers of hot water skids use different size fuel nozzles based on gpm of the unit being manufacturered? I've upsized a pump and dont seem to have the same heat rise. Any idea what size a 12 volt 5.6gpm should use?

    seems awful cold

    I started a Sonic this morning at 1:10 and the temp was 36 degrees, when I finished at 5:00, it was 29. The high today is in the 50's. I cant imagine them having any icing problems. Anyone care to share their thoughts on ground temps?

    leaking pump

    TS2021 The pump was leaking water under the head so I took the head off and inspected the plungers and packings. Two packings had cracks in them and two plungers had cracks as well. $150 later, I have two new plungers and a new set of packings, but it still leaks under the head. The...

    New tool to air out pumps and hoses

    I threw this little gadget together tonight to find an easier way to blow out the machines. It blows the water out backwards from the gun hookup. It seemed to work on the skid but not so well on a belt drive cold water I have. Thought I'd contribute something.....

    22mm swap

    Hey Russ, I found out I had a cracked plunger today on my ts2021. I had to get it running and all I had sitting around was some 22mm plungers and packings. I changed the oil and ran it a few minutes to make sure it was going to work. It seems to be a lot more powerful. Do you have any...

    packing blew

    I had a packing bust today on my AR RK 18.28. I'm proud of the pump though. 4-5 years of abuse and the oil is always clear and I've never had a single problem with it. Its just one packing. I'm considering just buying one packing instead of the full kit. Its about 1/6th the cost...
