The Wagner Paint crew is a Piston Pump paint sprayer, manufactured by Wagner spraytech. It is great for small projects around the home. The unit consists of the pump, a 7.5 litre hopper that sits on a steel carry-frame, 7.5 mtr spray hose and a quality spray handpiece. Also available as an add on is a power roller attachment.
Setting up the Wagner Paint Crew for spraying is a simple process. You simply fill the hopper with the required amount of paint needed. Next, you prime the pump which only takes a few seconds - you will see the paint come out the small plastic tube that feeds back into the hopper. This purges any air from the system. Finally, all you need to do is flick the switch over to the spray position and you're good to go.
The paint from the hopper is gravity fed down into the pump. It is then transported along the spray hose to the handpiece. Finally, the paint is delivered to the painting project with a quick pull of the trigger. To filter the paint there are two filters, one inside the handpiece and one in the important paint hopper. This stops most blockages of paint at the spray tip. The spray tip is reversible for quick purging of any blockage.
The Wagner Paint Crew is simple to clean, however it is critical that these units are cleaned up well. Simply pour out any unused paint, Hose out the hopper, flush the handpiece filter and pump some water through the system. Finally, it is a good idea to lubricate the inlet and outlet filter with some machine oil.
The two primary wearable parts in the paint sprayer are the inlet and outlet valves. The inlet valve is in the base of the hopper. The outlet valve sits inside the entrance to the spray hose. In time it is inevitable that these valves will need replacing. It might seem daunting to replace these valves, however it isn't difficult. It would be sensible to check You-Tube for visual instructions.
Overall, the Wagner Paint Crew airless sprayer is a reasonably priced, high quality tool that will save you countless hours of time. The Paint Crew is a quality unit, and comes with a good warranty.
If you hate spending the entire weekend painting and would like to speed up the laborsome task of painting, then an airless paint sprayer may be just the thing you need.
