Before requesting a service call, try these simple steps. They solve most common problems on the spot.
❄️ Issue: Fluid isn’t dispensing / pump isn’t working
Possible Causes & Fixes:
Frozen Fluid or Tank?
If it’s cold outside, your fluid might be frozen. Make sure you’re using Winter Wash (-25°F) or Extreme Winter Wash (-35°F).
👉 Quick fix: Warm the tank room or gently agitate the tank to break up any slush. Never use open flame or heating devices.Check the Nozzle or Hose:
Kinks or blockages in the hose can stop flow.
👉 Quick fix: Uncoil the hose fully and look for twists or crimps. Straighten the line and try again.Dispensing Gun Not Seated Properly?
Sometimes the nozzle isn’t fully clicked in or may be cross-threaded.
👉 Quick fix: Disconnect, realign, and reconnect securely.
💧 Issue: Fluid is leaking from around the tank or hose
Possible Causes & Fixes:
Loose connection or fitting?
Vibration or daily use can sometimes loosen a fitting.
👉 Quick fix: Hand-tighten the hose connection or nozzle. If the leak persists, note the location and submit a service request.Overfilling or expansion?
Fluids expand when temperatures change.
👉 Quick fix: Check fluid level. If it’s above the fill line, remove excess with a clean siphon or bucket.
📉 Issue: You’re running low faster than expected
Possible Causes & Fixes:
New hires or increased usage?
Check if anyone is overfilling or using fluid outside of standard procedures.Is there a slow leak?
Look under and around the tank for damp spots or drips.
👉 Pro tip: Take a photo of the tank level at the same time each day to track usage over a week. That can help CM BULK adjust your refill schedule.
🧼 Issue: Fluid is smearing on windshields instead of cleaning
Possible Causes & Fixes:
Outdated Summer Formula?
Bug Wash doesn’t work well in freezing temps.
👉 Quick fix: Switch to Winter Wash (-25°F) or Extreme Winter Wash (-35°F) in cold seasons.Old or contaminated fluid?
If fluid has been sitting too long in an unused system, it may need to be flushed.
