Jetstream Fluid End Conversion Kits Boost Efficiency

19 Mar 2025 CW Team

“With recent shakeups in the waterblasting industry, many waterblasting contractors are now struggling to find replacement parts and support for their equipment. Our conversion kits give operators a seamless way to upgrade their pumps while securing long-term access to high-quality parts and service so they can continue operating without disruption,” said John Schaer, new products engineering manager at Jetstream. “With a loss of support for some competitive models, contractors need a dependable source for parts and service that minimizes downtime and extends equipment life.”

Jetstream’s fluid end conversion kit includes an adapter plate that mounts directly to the pump and connects it to the new manifold, which features Jetstream’s signature UNx™ fluid end technology. Jetstream’s product DNA maximizes uptime with ease of maintenance and an emphasis on jobsite safety. Operators can change the fluid end’s packing in five minutes and replace the valve cartridges in 15 minutes without requiring the use of any special tools or equipment. The manifold swings down for easy access to the interchangeable parts which feature durable solid carbide plungers, a single-piece high-lubricity packing ring and pressure-bearing components that are precision-engineered from stainless steel. Jetstream’s fluid ends offer long-lasting durability and quality performance at multiple pressures, with the ability to quickly change between operating pressures on the jobsite for maximum versatility.

The conversion kits are designed for easy installation at a contractor’s facility to minimize downtime, and Jetstream’s support team is available to assist with setup and ongoing technical needs. For operations looking for more extensive upgrades, Jetstream also offers complete pump replacements and a total refurbishment program to restore and enhance existing waterblasting units.
