Once again, we are at the time of year where they are posting freeze warnings. Last night was the first of this year, although it only dropped to 35 degrees in Sacramento. Outlying areas such as Grass Valley and in many other places, it dropped below freezing.
DO NOT LEAVE ANY MATERIAL IN YOUR PUMP OVERNIGHT. It doesn’t matter if it is in a camper shell or a trailer or a (unheated) garage or storage building. Your pump WILL freeze and serious damage can occur. If you are in doubt, come into the shop, I have 2 really graphic examples of what it can do. A split cylinder can run from $150 to $600. Just for the part. Then you have packings, etc. Run Pump Gaurd through your machine, remove the airless hose and gun and then run it for about 10 seconds to run it dry. A clean, dry pump without hose and gun cannot freeze.
If you have any pumps that you haven’t been using, go get them out and check them too.
