When to Choose Buna-N Diaphragms Over Greentech?
Buna-N is an optional material for Delta 75 pumps and is preferred in applications where additional chemical resistance is critical. Select Buna-N diaphragms when working with extremely harsh chemicals or service fluids that require enhanced resistance to chemical attack beyond the standard Greentech diaphragms.

Essential Plumbing and Installation Guidelines
Proper installation prevents premature pump failure. Udor diaphragm pumps are positive displacement pumps and require a pressure relief valve or pressure regulating valve to be installed on the pump or in the discharge plumbing. A secondary safety pop-off valve is also highly recommended to prevent property damage or system blowouts. See the attached manual for even more installation instructions and best practices.
Inlet and Suction Line Requirements
Never run the pump with a starved suction. A starved suction due to a closed suction valve or a clogged strainer will cause premature failure of the pump diaphragms. To ensure proper feed:
- Use filter screens between 10 and 20 mesh on the inlet side of the pump. Never use a fine filter screen on the inlet side of a diaphragm pump.
- The recommended minimum feed tank size is 6-10 times the maximum GPM output rating. For the 20 GPM DELTA 75, this means a minimum feed tank size of 120 to 200 gallons.
- Keep the suction hose ball valve open whenever the system is operating.
- Ensure each pump is fed by its own separate feed line. Never feed multiple pumps with one common feed line.
Bypass Line Requirements
The bypass line routes fluid when the discharge flow is shut off.
- Bypass hoses must remain open and unrestricted at all times.
- Never install an agitator or ball valve on the bypass hose. Use soft hose only.
- Keep the bypass line as far away as possible from the suction hose line inside the tank to prevent aeration or cavitation of the fluid being pumped.
Pulsation Dampener and Recommended Settings
Diaphragm pumps, by nature, have some pulsation. The pulsation dampener reduces pulsation by providing a cushion of air to bump against. The rubber bladder separates the air cushion from the pumped chemical solution.
- Set the pulsation dampener to 20% of your system's working pressure. For example, if your pressure is set at 100 PSI, the dampener should be set at 20 PSI.
- 20 PSI is the absolute minimum pulsation dampener pressure. Do not run the pump with less than 20 PSI in the dampener.
- Air supply can be from a compressor or a manual type pump.
- Always shut down the pump before adding air or checking pressure.
- It is possible to lose 5-10 psi when checking pulsation dampener pressure.
Routine Maintenance Procedures
Establishing a strict maintenance schedule greatly adds to the pump's longevity. The crankcase oil plays a dual role: lubricating moving parts and supporting the diaphragm hydraulically during each pressure stroke.
Recommended Maintenance Schedule
- After Each Use: Flush the pump with clean water to prevent chemical buildup. Most diaphragm “attacks” occur when chemicals are left sitting in the pump. This helps extend the diaphragm's longevity.
- After First 50 Hours: Perform an initial oil change to clear out any break-in particulates.
- Every 500 Hours (or Season's End): Perform a full oil change and replace the diaphragms. Inspect pump valves and check valves for spring fatigue and seat wear.
- Every 1000 Hours: Replace the internal valves completely.
Note: For heavy-duty purposes, Udor recommends more frequent maintenance intervals.
Oil Change Process
- Remove the oil drain plug located at the bottom of the pump, along with the oil fill cap.
- Once drained, reinstall the drain plug.
- Fill the pump with 40 oz of Udor Lube premium pump oil (or SAE 30W non-detergent / 15W-40 oil) to the recommended mark on the oil reservoir or on the sight glass.
- Rotate the crankshaft manually while filling to eliminate trapped air pockets.
- Run the pump for five minutes under a "no-load" condition or in full bypass to evacuate remaining air pockets from the diaphragm cavity.
- Turn the pump off and recheck the oil level.
Winter Storage and Anti-Freezing
Here is how to protect your Udor DELTA 75 from freezing conditions. Do not run the pump with frozen fluid.
- Flush the pump with clean water.
- With the tank empty and suction/discharge valves open, run the pump for exactly one minute to ensure complete drainage of the pump heads and lines.
- Re-circulate anti-freeze and water at low pressure only. Leave it in the system.
- When restarting, purge all anti-freeze from the pump and system at low pressure only. Anti-freeze will foam under high pressure, which can severely damage the pump and pressure regulator. This will void Udor's warranty.
Note: If a spray gun is installed, circulate anti-freeze through the hose and spray gun, directing it back into the tank lid to clear or dilute residual water. Depending on hose length and tank size, more than one gallon of anti-freeze may be necessary to safeguard the system against freezing.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Low, No, or Inconsistent Pressure When Relief Valve Is Open to Boom or Gun
Causes:
- Plugged filter restricting flow
- Suction hose obstruction
- Collapsed suction hose inside or outside the tank, restricting flow
- Pump drawing air through suction line hoses or fittings
- Pressure relief valve stuck or worn
- Excessive tank foam due to low tank volume
- Nozzle volume is greater than pump capacity
- One or more pump valves/check valves are not seated properly
Remedies:
- Clean filter screen
- Clear obstruction
- Replace the collapsed hose
- Examine hoses and fittings, ensure an air-tight fit and no leaks
- Repair or replace the relief valve
- Refill tank
- Reduce the nozzle orifice size or the number of nozzles used
- Clean or replace pump valves/check valves
Pressure Gauge Shows Unstable Readings / Excessive Pulsation
Causes:
- Pulsation dampener pressure too low or too high
- Pump drawing air through suction line hoses or fittings
- Plugged filter restricting flow
- Air is not entirely evacuated from the pump cavity
Remedies:
- Adjust pulsation dampener pressure (refer to pump operation sheet)
- Examine hoses and fittings, ensure an air-tight fit and no leaks
- Clean filter screen
- Run the pump with an open discharge to totally evacuate air
Pump Does Not Draw Water
Causes:
- Pump drawing air through suction line hoses or fittings
- Plugged filter restricting flow
- One or more pump valves/check valves are seating improperly
Remedies:
- Examine hoses and fittings, ensure an air-tight fit and no leaks
- Clean filter screen
- Clean or replace pump valves/check valves
Milky Pump Oil or the Oil Plug Pops Out
Cause:
- One or more diaphragms have ruptured
Remedies:
- Replace all diaphragms
- Clean filter screen
