I've just bought a Wagner 250r airless sprayer second hand on eBay. (In the next few weeks I'm planning to mist coat and then emulsion an entire floor of my house).
I am nor ready to paint anything yet, but I did want to test the thing in case it didn't work too well.
I set it up and attempted to spray clean water from a bucket. The spray seems to work okay but, in addition, water literally runs out of the outlet connector array on the machine itself. I end up with a sprayed wall, sure, but also a puddle of water on the floor under and around the machine.
I really don't want paint puddles when I come to paint the house.
Does anyone have knowledge of these machines and can anyone tell me whether this is because I'm using water rather than paint or what I can do to remedy the problem or if I have a leaky piece of kit that needs to go back?
Thanks guys.
