what is every one doing about cleaning their pumps in between stain jobs? what about going from one color to another? how do you clean it out at the end of the season? Thanks Steven
 
I use straight up Dawn soap and leave the water in the pump and hoses I don't drain them dry.It also primes up faster leaving the soapy water in the hoses and a little water in the pump. I found mineral spirits to dry up the seals inside the pump if cleaned with thinner.

You want to clean with a soap that will try to cut the oil inside the pump.
