Just wasted 4 hours trying to get one of 2 Wagner Crew sprayers to work. One unit work fine for about 3 days-15 hours total and it now runs but no pressure, no spray, does not even prime anymore just runs.
Borrow my son's seldom used unit and used it for for 2 hours today and it now does not spray but primes just like my other unit. I read the entire manual again and watch the Wagner site video. I took apart and clean the filters and the nozzle. Everything is clean and clear on both units.Pull and cleaned the valve. The cleaned assembly allows water thru. Reassemble and NO Spray at all , just primes like crazy. Checked the placement of the plastic filter piece that does over the suction hole . Then tried to thin the paint in case it may be too thick being colder. Nothing but the unit primes. NO SPRAY.
Nothing. Lost the whole day and made me mad at Wagner. At $200 each at Home Depot and very few hours in either unit, now I have 2 pieces of useless equipment. Will call Wagner tomorrow and complaint. I should be getting more than 10-15 hours of use before these things mal function. I think it may be a defective design with the plastic filter that has to be properly place for the sparyer to work but I have adjusted that part several times. Units works only for a few hours and than you have a boat anchor.
DON"T BUY THE CREW. MONEY WASTED.

I used this sprayer not expecting to like it since I own a contractor sprayer. I used the paint crew while I was helping some friends paint a house for Habitat for Humanity. The thing worked great and sprayed the latex paint on the house like my professional unit. It far exceeded my expectations and really impressed me. It was lightweight and easy to move around.
Nice Job Wagner!

I purchased this sprayer for a home improvement project. It has worked out very impressively. As an odd job contractor I have used it for many side work projects and it has saved me so much time I purchased a second one. If there was one thing I would have to stress is to make sure the machine is THOROUGHLY CLEANED when washing out. Make sure to disassembly all parts (inlet valve, outlet valve, and sprayer) and clean thoroughly. It will last if the proper time is dedicated to cleaning. One note, I do not recommend for oil based paints, makes cleaning very very difficult.

The first model I was able to complete two jobs before failure to spray, mind you I had to constantly clean and rinse to maintain a pr oper pattern .I purchased the second unit because it was a new model ,upright, and it did fit my budget.I was pleased with it's performance and easier mobility.I was diligently cleaning this unit ,determined to make it last,when it stopped as if it had lost power.I haves looked all over for a fuse or other to restart as it's practically new.don't know how to fix but can't recommend it a won't buy

I had occasion to review some user responses in the last month or so to the Paint Crew sprayer and was shocked at how many negative responses were posted. All of which appeared to me to be because of lack of proper cleaning.
I've used my Paint Crew sprayer or about 10 major projects (Houses, Barns, etc). and it has yet to fail me.
But I know a trick.
Get out the instruction book and clean it EXACTLY like the instructions tell you to for Long Time Storage. Yes, it may take 30 minutes but it's worth the effort.

I have followed the instructions to the letter and every year I have to replace the valve in the tank that either corrodes or rusts to the point that it doesn't function properly and the spray is not even. WHEN IT WORKS it sprays very well and I do like the results.

I was using the paint crew after a long term storage. At first it worked as it should. The pump would build pressure and then shut off until the trigger was pulled. Over the course of spraying less than a gallon of paint (bare wood primer sealer)the pump would no longer build pressure enough to shut off or spray properly (low pressure). This unit has sprayed less than 5 gallons of paint since new. It this an outlet valve issue or something else?

Answer:
My outlet valve was not holding pressure in the paint hose and not enough pressure was available to spray paint. The problem was the outlet valve. I removed the disk at the interior end of the outlet valve by prying it up through the slot on the side of the valve with an awl (ice-pick). Underneath the disk was a spring and a valve seat. The valve seat had a cut O-ring on it and that was why it was not holding pressure. I went to Lowes and bought a box of ten #60 O-rings for $2.50, replaced that O-ring, and it works fine now when I test it with water. I'll paint with it this weekend to see if it works with paint and for how long. I've owned this painter for eight years, but have only used it three times. I think I have pumped nine 5 gallon buckets of paint through it in its lifetime. I'll have to see how long it lasts this time. At least I have 9 spare O-rings to fix it.Age: 45-54

Answer:
While spraying make sure that you are doing an arm's length pass and letting go of the trigger. If you are holding down the trigger continuously you are never allowing your sprayer to build up pressure. If you are still having problems take out your outlet valve and clean it really well in warm soapy water. There is a small disc on the bottom of the outlet valve that you need to remove and clean the o-ring and spring behind the disc. Once you have removed the disc inspect and oil the spring and o-rings and put it back together. if you continue to have problems you may need to replace your outlet valve.You will also want to check with the manufacture of the paint you are spraying to see what they recommend for a tip size when using an airless sprayer. The maximum tip size that sprayer can support is a .015. If the manufacture of the paint recommends a tip size larger than a .015 it will wear your valve prematurely.

I've painted several houses with the "crew" and love the sprayer but towards the end of the second house the sprayer would lose power and not give a good coverage. Would this indicate seals or something needing to be replaced?

This would indicate that the suction hose or inlet is clogged and needs cleaning. May be that the paint is to thick and news to be thinned4 months, 3 weeks ago
Answer:
It sounds like your outlet valve may be beginning to wear. You can take your outlet valve out and clean it really well in warm soapy water. There is a small disc on the bottom of the valve. You want to check the o-ring on the disc to make sure that it is not damaged. There is also a small o-ring and spring behind the disc that you are going to want to inspect and clean. To remove the disc take a small screw driver and pop the disc off. Once you have the disc off clean and inspect the o-ring and spring, oil, and reassemble. Once you have cleaned the outlet valve put your sprayer back together and test it to see if it will build up pressure. if you continue to experience problems with the sprayer not building pressure you will need to replace the outlet valve.5 months, 2 weeks ago
I was reading the other post on losing pressure with the Paint Crew. I took the outlet valve out and and checked the o-ring and removed the disc on the bottom to clean it. When I flipped the disc over I noticed the edges around the hole in the middle were extremely worn, it looked like someone took a Dremel tool to it and carved it all up. Also the inner o-ring and plastic cap for the spring is also eaten away. I just bought the sprayer last week and was able to get my house 3/4 of the way painted before this happened. Should it wear out this fast or is this an aberration?

The metal used in this machine is not of the best quality and are arguably made to wear out. Check your receipt if you still have it and the warranty should replace it.2 months, 2 weeks ago
Answer:
The valve will wear in about 30-50 gallons depending on the type of paint you are using. If you are using a paint that requires a larger tip size than what the sprayer can support the valves will wear faster. The maximum tip size the sprayer can support is .015.5 months, 1 week ago
Please do not recommend visiting my local retail or service center these places do not deal with the so called low cost sprayers for home use. I love this machine; I even have two of them. Cleaning and proper use is very important but unfortunately pieces do wear out.

We have a new Paint Crew Plus and are attempting to paint a two story garage, buy are very disappointed with the performance of the sprayer. We tried out sprayer first with water and that worked fine with a good even spray, but when we used the paint it began to clog every 20 to 40 seconds losing power and dripping. We did notice that sprayer did perform better on lower level. We would soon like to paint our two story house and don't want to have the same experience. We completely washed all parts in cluding the nozzle with each use. Thank you
