HEED 3 Troubleshooting
For 3,000 psi models only. Use the technical manual for your specific model. HP-4500 service and filling requirements differ. Completely depressurize the unit before removing any component. Internal regulator repairs require qualified service personnel.
If HEED 3 is leaking, most situations require sending in unit for service. There are, however, a few situations that you may troubleshoot / replace a part yourself after doing a water test to determine exactly where the leak is coming from. Parts are available for purchase at our replacement-parts store.
