D Waterborne paints will not redissolve. Dried paint film in paint containers or paint suction lines must be removed. Graco offers a Suction Line Strainer Kit 240499 that should be installed at least 2 ft from pump inlet to remove contamination. Strainers must be cleaned regularly to avoid pump starving or cavitation.
