FAQ about Airless Spray Gun Filters

02 Feb.,2024

 

Normally every time the sprayer is cleaned is all that is needed.

Exceptions would be as below.

1. Your paint has an unusually high amount of “trash” or small grains.

2. When using a small paint sprayer tip and the Red Extra-Fine filters. In these cases you may

need to clean the airless sprayer gun filter during a spray job.

For example if spraying a latex paint with a small 211 tip with the Red-Extra fine airless gun filter;

you may need to clean the filter every 2 to 5 gallons.

so normally we recommend you to change to bigger nozzle size (like 517 515) and use smaller mesh (bigger hole) filter (like 60mesh 80mesh) to prevent clogging frequently.

(How often will GREATLY depend on how much trash is in the paint)

Easy way to tell the filter needs to be cleaned during spraying

(or replaced if in a hurry) is the reversible paint spray tip starts to constantly clog.
