Can not get it to build of pressure

If you are using the reservoir to add cleaner to your project, there will be minimum pressure. Make sure that you have not see the unit to feed from the detergent reservoir.

I had two units with a similar sounding problem. It was an internal mechanical flaw and I returned it both times to Costco, swapping it the second time for a more expensive (and much more effective) gasoline powered unit. I had had a previous electric home unit that lasted more than a decade, but the SnapOns were a complete and utter failure.

Check hose connector. If hose is loosing pressure, at faucet or at any connection point, pressure will not build.

do you have all of the reservoir cap tightened? When you attach sprayer hose do you hear a click? How old is the unit? If the gaskets are old, missing or damaged that could effect pressure.

if it's working right, it should pressurize it less than a minute. I've had major issues with two of these pumps losing the ability to come to pressure. Haven't had much satisfaction with repair or customer service. I would advise against this pump if you haven't already purchased one.

Robert is correct, I was wrong. It seemed at the time I had a little more of flow but it is impossible. If you have a pressurized tank there should be a shrader valve on the tank to check the air pressure of the bladder inside of the tank to boost water pressure, you may be low on pressure in the bladder. You may need to use an air pump to raise the air pressure but be careful, I don't remember what the pressure should be. Check with Watts Premier web site.

It does require some pressure... I would say a medium amount of pressure... More than I was expecting when I ordered it

Make sure you are pressing hard enough on the carbonation button. I had the same problem with mine until I realized I wasn't pressing it down all the way. Try two firm, short bursts. You will feel the difference in the pressure on the button when you get it right.

You don't need that much pressure. Simply pressing it down to keep it stable and then a couple of light pulls and it starts.

The pressure isn't marked (but I'm sure it does). However, due to applying pressure the clamp mechanism on mine broke 3 times and I had to take it to a machine shop each time, then the cord burnt out and I got a new at Radio Shack and then the heat element died and I bought something else. I spent more on fixing this thing than it cost.

I know I'm responding to this later than the others, but don't loosen the screws! You have to lift the handle first; I know, it's really tough, I had to get my dad to help me, but that really is the solution. Once the handle is lifted, you can turn to knob to adjust the pressure.

with the launcher have u used the rubber ring on the up spout. that will hold the pressure and make sure you have about a 1/4 of the bottle with water.. but make sure you are using the rings supplied that may be your issue.

I just pumped it up to where it was good and firm. I don't think there is a way to measure the pressure.

Yes, you do have to apply some pressure though not a lot. You could probably do it with the opposite arm. Hope this helps.

Also, I am using a Dewalt 200 psi compressor, so it gives plenty of push. Try it out on a piece of scrap wood first and see if you are getting the proper depth of staple set. If not you may need to get more PSI. There isn't any adjustment....so this may be your sollution to your problem.

Sometimes I have this problem if I don't completely release all of the pressure. If that doesn't work, use a little oil and run it as close to the seal as possible.

There's a dial on the stem of it. Just turn that till you get the pressure you need.

If you keep adjusting the screw, it should work. Try stepping on it for a minute to maybe release some pressure. I hope this helps.

In response to M. Hursh, it may be possible that it was not pumped enough to build up the pressure needed before the spray. It does require a few pumps before the top becomes stiff and it does not last long if it sits a while from my short time experience with this product.

Sorry, no I do not - I have just begun working on a project with the block(s). I will be using low flow so pressure drop should not be much of an issue for me. Sorry. I does appears to be very well made.
