Yes I was at Sherwin Williams and had a manager contact them to ask what the make up of Pump Protector was. The verified that it was in fact antifreeze and the chemical makeup was the same as auto antifreeze. I have been using auto antifreeze ever since as it is 10 times less money.
I am a firm believer in Titan and Graco. I have used both for about 12 years now and they work awesome. Tried and true. For weekend and pro's. For a weekend warrior the Titan 440i is amazing.
it's really very informative your video. I have one question, which brand is good for a weekly painting project. I would be happy to read your answer.Thank you
You are wrong here. A PVA primer is what is used and is thin for exactly that purpose. To soak in and seal creating a good surface for the paint to bond to. Thinning the paint only degrades it quality. If the walls are mopped correctly by the drywallers you will never have the problem you describe. The pumps and motors are designed to spray the paints just the way they are manufactured. The paints are designed to be used just as they are manufactured.
It's hard on the sprayers packings to not release the pressure before opening the prime valve. Think of the pressure knob as being a soft off switch, that is turn down the pressure before letting go of the guns trigger and then turn off machine before going into priming mode. This technique will also keep paint from splattering everywhere. Never heard of antifreeze for storage but if you are from a place that freezes a lot it is probably very necessary. Cool thing my brother.
I have never once thinned out any paint in my entire career. There is no need to as the paints are made to use without thinning. All you do is degrade the quality of the paint.
@idahopainters Well, if your spraying newly plastered walls then the paint should be thinned down 10%. There's needs to be a bit of soakage into the new pastered walls. If the paint drys to quick on the plaster then it just sits on it. It won't bond properly with the plaster. After a while as the walls dry out, the paint just sits on the wall like a shell veneer instead of correctly bonding. First primer coat should always be thinned 10% and it makes less work on the pump and motor.
good product from idaho will use info with my small CH pump, did like the part about antifreeze. always thought you must use pump protector. thanx chris.
No absolutely not. We have been using it for years. Titan sells a product called pump protector and it has one ingredient. Same ingredient as antifreeze. I called Titan and inquired about that and they confirmed it. They sell the product for about ten times more money and call it pump protector.
Excellent post, and thank you for sharing.

Use paint thinner or mineral spirits to clean after any oil based products. Also do not follow with water, leave clean paint thinner in the pump.
