HYDRAULIC KNOWLEDGE BASE

Frequently Asked Triplex Pump Questions

What causes a triplex pressure washer pump to pulsate?

Pulsating (violent hose surging accompanied by a 30%–50% pressure drop) is caused when one of the six stainless steel check valves cannot close properly. This is usually due to a grain of sand or pipe debris jammed under the valve poppet, or a broken internal spring. This drops the pump into an unbalanced 2-cylinder cadence.

What type of oil should be used in a triplex pressure washer pump crankcase?

Always use non-detergent SAE 30 or ISO 68 industrial pump oil. Automotive motor oils contain detergents that foam under high-speed crankshaft splashing, introducing air pockets that starve the connecting rod wrist pins and bronze bearings of hydrodynamic lubrication, causing rod seizure.

How does an unloader valve protect the pump from bursting?

When the operator releases the spray gun trigger, water cannot exit the nozzle. The unloader valve instantly diverts the pressurized fluid into a continuous internal bypass loop recirculating back to the inlet. If left in bypass for more than 2 minutes, water friction heats the manifold above 145°F, destroying the V-packings unless a thermal relief valve trips.
