What oil do I use for the pump?

The pump oil you need is SAE 30. You can purchase this from any auto parts store.

I have water in my oil glass

If you have water in the oil glass on the pump, you have ruptured your pump diaphragms and they will need to be replaced.  If you continue to run your unit with ruptured diaphragms it will seize the pump and at that point, the pump will need to be replaced. Give us a call and we’ll be happy to help! 1800 645 688

Can I run diesel through my Quik Spray?

No, you can’t. You need to make sure the chemicals you are using are compatible with the diaphragms in your pump and pressure controller.  If not, you will need to upgrade to Desmopan or Viton diaphragms to help with wear and tear.
