Mytee Pump problems where to start

[Donald]

QUESTION: I have a pressure pump failure on a mytee 1003dx. I started to prime pump and it started to pressurize and it went from 0 psi to over 1000 psi. then I heard a snap and it quit working. It is leaking water from the pump. Any idea what would have caused this failure and how to fix it. Is there a rebuild kit for the pump or should I replace the whole pump. Is the pressure regulator shot(bypass) are they repairable Can I put in a pump with more psi.

You can replace components on the water pump, like, just the start and run capacitors, just the motor, just the head, or just the pressure regulator. You can also attempt to rebuild any of these. We have pressure regulator rebuild kits, and pump head rebuild kits.

you would not be able to place a pump with more pressure on the inside, but you could use an exterior pump when you want more pressure. Please visit

and then scroll down to the "related Items" section near the bottom. All those pumps can have hot water feed into them and use them in carpet cleaning.
