Surface cleaner help

[Barry M]

About 10 o'clock on the swivel there is a perfect little hole. I don't know if it was there before, if there was a bolt/plug in there, why it's there now, or how it even got there but all my water flow wants to spray out of that hole instead of my nozzles. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

That hole is a weep hole. It is there to protect the union in case of blockage. Check your tips for debris, and run the surfacer with no tips to clear the lines.

If that does not work, then you may need to rebuild or replace the union.

[Barry M]

I did take the tips out and ran it without them to flush it out, and then put in new tips. Same deal, still didn't work. It's a whirl-a-way and I've ran the crap out of it so it's probably time for a new one. I don't even know where to get replacement parts for it, do you?

[Ron Musgraves]

I dont know but that looks like the bearing the shaft slids into and the unions above.

Barry - try Envirospec for Whirl-A-Way parts... 1800-346-4876

EnviroSpec - 1-800-346-4876

Good Luck!

my need to replace swival should not be that much water coming out of that hole

[Russ Johnson]

There's a very small o ring at the top of the swivel that goes bad after a period of time...pretty easy to replace. I've got them and can tell you how to put it in. Call me.

I called Russ, he walked me through the disassemble process and he's dropping an o ring in the mail. Thanks Russ!!

I want to give Russ big Thanks here...... I had an emergency clean project over the weekend. I needed 2 new Surface Cleaners and Russ opened up shop on Sunday Morning to get me 2 cleaners so that I could get this project done on time. Thanks Russ.

Barry, I got that sme surfacer from Russ this weekend and my wife really likes it. I beleive it will continue to pay for itself over and over.

It's been a good unit for me Michael.

Russ is a good guy, this isn't the first time he's helped me out.

By the way I did gut the swivel and get to that o ring and it is deteriorated, so it looks like Russ was correct. It also gave me a good excuse to buy a set of snap ring pliers.....hehe. Thanks again Russ.

[Russ Johnson]

Barry, it's on the way...

Michael, next time bring donuts...lol...

[Barry M]

Got my o ring in the mail today from Russ. I replaced it and bingo, she runs like a champ. None to soon, I had a driveway to wash today. Thanks again Russ.
