Equipment Review and Discussion :: Why is my Xp3 flow so soft?

[emma]

I have the the tube with all the holes in it at the end. Lately it seems the flow has not been as strong.
How to i get the faster, better flow back?


(Btw,. last time i cleaned out the whole filter was on December 25th)

Your last comment says it all---you haven't cleaned the filter in almost six months??? When I used the XP3, I usually cleaned it about every 5 - 6 weeks. Try giving it a good cleaning (and clean the spray bar/the tube with the holes as well).

Using microfiltration pads will slow the flow faster as well.

What kind of media do you have inside? I recently cleaned my 404 and XP4 and both had super clogged polishing pads. After getting rid of those and put some new stuff in they flow great again.
