My pump sticks. Does anyone have a solution for that? Is my unit defective?

I was just going to ask this question too because mine sticks so much now that it gets stuck in down position and sits there and it's hard to get it back up at all.I have found the other brand, Cuispro to have a better working pump, it's much smoother. I am going to try to see if some coconut oil will help this brand of pump but most likely I'll have to replace it.

I pulled the spout off mine and looked down inside. Soap scum builds up inside the pump mechanism and prevents the pump from resetting itself. I dripped a few drops of mineral oil inside the plunger mechanism, and now mine works as good as new. Another user in a review had good results using Dezcal, a descaler, in his, and apparently it also broke down the scum or deposits and helped his pump work, too. Dezcal is quite useful for descaling all sorts of things. (Amazon sells it in several different packages.)

Sounds like there is some type leak in your system where the pump has to keep trying to pump water because it can't make a complete seal when it tries to shut off. Wish I could give you a better answer.

A) Does your unit push air out when not connected to anything? If so, it sounds like a problem with your hose or something else on the unit. If not it has to be after the pump. Either the tire or the connection are at fault. B) Try pushing the metal pin in the valve stem to release pressure. If nothing happens you are either out of air or it's broken. It should flow air with little to no movement. C) If that worked it has to be the connection. Maybe they don't align anymore and can be bent, or maybe you have to buy a better adapter. I'd get something like this(http://amzn.com/B001CJHU9W).

You have kinda push down & then screw it on. There is a stop line on the pump, if u don't stop it will mess up. But mine comes loose after using it a few times but I just tighten it again.

My best guess is that the pump circuit is very dry and it needs to be primed with an EXTERNAL hand pump. They are avaiable for a small sum.

Gee...sounds like a faulty product. Shouldn't do that. Try a tiny bit of cooking oil on the gasket that is on the pump and see if it's just a dry gasket. If that doesn't do it...return it.

That happens with mine too (difficult to pump).. Probably normal =[ I suppose that's why they cost less than big name. Worth contacting Stant with that question. Let us know what you hear back

Probably if u find a pump the same size. Before you do that though, slide the bottom part off where the suction cups are. Then pull out the little fan part, try cleaning the barrel and then the inside of the pump with a q- tip. Some times mine would stop working be cause it would get to slimmy. Try that

Mike, had this issue once with my old pump, I accidentally switched the L1 and L2 wires. Mark them first ( for the future) and swap them. I also heard to make sure the internal ground and the external copper ground is attached as well. Hope this helps, once you dial in the timers this pump is pretty awesome.

Sammy ... I bought a new fuel pump for my Yamaha golf cart and it seemed to do well, but now, I have the same problem you are having. It will move when you push the pedal down, but after a short while will just stall and sit there ... no matter how much you push down the pedal. We then have to push or tow it to where we're going. I have been told that it is probably a carburetor problem, but I haven't had anyone look at it yet.

I had the same problem so I called Clairol. You must push DOWN on the pump while turning counter-clock-wise. TA-DA!

At first you have to give it maybe a dozen good pumps. If that doesn't do it, check the hook up on the bottle part of the unit, or the handle trigger. Took me a few minutes to figure it out too!

Had the same problem with several soap brands. Seems as though the underbody dispenser apparatus gets plugged up and allows the pump to be depressed, but has insufficient spring left to allow it to back come up again: thus you get a short stroke/minimal output problem. I tried cleaning it, oiling it, etc... nothing worked. Just replaced that part from Moen's website. Hopefully its a fluke, because it isn't even a year old yet.

I also had this issue. My problem was I did not screw the plastic ring part tight enough around the base unit and hence there was no pressure building up, and the pump wasn't dispensing. I called the MISTO customer service and they send me a replacement pump for free, in case there is an issue with the pump part.

I would say you have a defective pump. I so far never had that happen to me.

If it's new you may have a defective pump. Have you tried taking the pump off and running it under hot water? Do you have a pump from another product you could try, like a hairspray container?

Does your pressure only stall with the surface cleaner or does it also stall out with a regular gun? Either way it sounds to me that you might have an issue with the unloader valve on pump itself.
