This put me at ease some i just bought a 4gpm dewalt with this pump knowing they werent the best but this gives me some hope for it for a yr at least either way paying 450 for it new i cant complain
@@jonboysprowash7845 , my DeWalt 4200 psi washer , Honda motor, with the EW 4040 AAA pump just failed on me. It shot water straight up out of the 1st of the 3 check valves. Pump oil wasn't too low. A tad is all. Any ideas on repairs ? Thanks
@@mikesanders4012 You can replace the check valves in it. I have a video where I did this. That being said I would just add $200 more and get a new pump. I have a video for that too.
@@mikesanders4012 The valve replacement was easy but, with the AAA it may be a matter of time. Mine came from the Tool Barnru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YcX0qFZq01g.htmlsi=I0XLyg6HUT3JPCUw
On my primary business machines I have GP, LOTS of hours and never had a single issue. I have a AAA pump on 1 machine that is 2.5gpm and 2 that are 2.8gpm and had no issues with them but they have very few hours on them...and I don't trust them at all. Normally, when someone with a few years in this industry says something is not commercial grade...that is probably what you will find to be true. What you have always heard about other things holds true with pressure washing equipment...you get what you pay for!
That is true. I’d rather spend more on the front end and know I have a quality product instead of cheaping out and always wondering when it’s going to break.
I HAVE THE SAME PUMP IT WAS MADE IN China. They put that on the underside of the pump so that you don't see it until after you have to work on it. they are made with cheap metal that will rust within about two years, and also a lot of cheap plastic. They are junk.
All of those AAA pumps are Chinese made they're only good for about a year to two years after that they're garbage I had the same problem that you did I just put a heavy-duty AR pump on and I've had it on her for five years now never had an issue with it yet but everybody who's had those AR has had some real negative comments the guys locally around here that bought their pressure washer from Lowe's or home Depot have had nothing but problems with the AAA pumps they are garbage
