Awesome, I just got a deal with the GTX pro and the Schultze Basic, that is good to know thanks for that video. do you know if this pump works for the Basic model?
I think it does, I had a friend with the basic model and she replaced hers with my pump as she was waiting on the delivery of her new one. So I think so but not course just check the pump to be sure the specs match up
I have been having all the problems you mention. I have increased our cleaning routine running the water maintenance cycle regularly tried hot water and checking the filter, swopped the pumps, and even stripped a pump and cleaned all the internals which were a bit gummed up but still struggle to get 4 nozzles to give a good consistent spray. Anyone have any other ideas?
Very good advice I had no idea about all this mine is working fine the only issue is that is not spraying evenly but I'm pretty sure after your advice I'll be fine, Thank you!!!!
Many will soak in distilled water or run it on that sonic cleaner too to help even out your spray. If it’s uneven it may just be the metal nozzle plugged up a little
@@MarkRamosDesigns I cleaned the nozzles they are ok, I ran cleaner fluid whithout the nozzles on that's when I saw the 1 and 3 lines aren't the same as 2 and 4
David H I just swapped them. One runs only distilled water, one is the pretreat. After about a year and a half the pretreat pimp started acting up so I swapped it with the water one. And it works fine. This is the second time I’ve done it. I also bought a pump on eBay just in case
Omg!!! That filter was super clog, the thing that I found is that I may switch the pump to because I get uneven flow from left to right 1 and 3 doesn't flow like 2 and 4 is it that the way it should be?
@@MarkRamosDesigns Thank you so much! Maintaining this pretreat machine has been the bane of our existence, and I'm hoping your video here will get us running smoothly!
@@hardedgedesign3497 keeping it clean that way it’s repeating the spray and amount of pretreat is key. I test the amount of pretreat coming out about once a month, every three months I do a deep clean and test and adjust. Also changing out from those brass nozzles to stainless helped out a ton
@@MarkRamosDesigns Where do you find the stainless steel nozzles? I think those would help us a ton! Every time we had issues with the machine not spraying right the tech would tell us we had to replace all of the nozzles before they would look at the pump, and those suckers are expensive from Brother.
@@hardedgedesign3497 look at an industrial sprayer company, NOT brother. brother will charge you crazy amount. It’s been so long I don’t remember because they are great. Years. There are numbers on that nozzle, Google it and look for the stainless version. I’ll try to find it
I would just replicate whatever was already on the old pump. That’s my opinion, just in case it’s calibrated for specific things. I’m not mechanically inclined
Wow. 400.00! not surprised at all to find it more expensive going through B. Thank you for the info!
I am currently having an issue of over spray, even on quickest carriage speed, do you have any advice for that
Did you have to change the cables so they could fit on the pretreat machine? Just got the pump but the cables look different
I didn't. I used the existing tubes and cables.

thanks for sharing this!
David H just switched the pumps again a few weeks ago.
@@MarkRamosDesigns replaced the pumps again? Where did you get them, we just found some on the auction site today

I’m yeah I would probably try switching the pumps.
You are an absolute gem and treasure! The pumps are out of stock, do you know where else we could get one?
Many boats use these same pumps, I’d try marine supply stores.

Good Job!👍
I've recently bought the pump and it comes with a strainer/filter. Do you recommend using the filter?
I would just replicate whatever was already on the old pump. That’s my opinion, just in case it’s calibrated for specific things. I’m not mechanically inclined
Do you know where I can find the tool? For the front pump?
for front filter, you need T-bar swivel drive wrench 21mm
