The Sandia 80-0080 is the genuine 300 PSI replacement pump for Sandia Sniper carpet extractors — both 6-gallon and 12-gallon configurations. When the original pump fails or wears out, this is the OEM part that drops in without modifications, restoring the extractor to factory spray pressure for deep-cleaning carpet, upholstery, and auto interiors.
What this pump fits
- Sandia Sniper 6-gallon extractors (model family 86-XXXX), including 86-2200, 86-2300, 86-3300 and related variants
- Sandia Sniper 12-gallon extractors (model family 80-XXXX), including 80-2300, 80-3300, 80-3300-H heated unit, and related variants

When to replace the pump
The most common signs your Sandia 300 PSI pump needs replacement are: spray pressure drops noticeably below the gauge reading; pulsing or stuttering at the wand instead of a steady stream; the pump runs but no water comes out; the pump runs constantly without cutting off when the trigger is released; or the pump leaks water when the machine is powered on.

Frequently asked questions
Will this pump fit my Sandia Sniper extractor?
If your machine is a Sandia Sniper rated at 300 PSI (the typical Sniper spec), the 80-0080 is the correct replacement pump. If your machine is a higher-pressure Sniper (500 PSI variants) or one of the adjustable-pressure Sniper SE models, you need a different pump. Check the spec plate on the back of the machine before ordering.
Is this an OEM Sandia part?
Yes. This is the genuine Sandia replacement pump, not an aftermarket equivalent.
Can I install this pump myself?
Most Sniper owners with basic mechanical aptitude install the pump themselves — it is a bolted-in assembly with two water-line connections and a wired electrical connection. Sandia's parts diagram for your specific Sniper model walks through the swap. If you would rather have a service technician do it, an authorized Sandia service center can install the pump and pressure-test the machine.
Why did my original pump fail?
Pump failures are most often caused by running the machine with low or empty solution tanks (which lets the pump run dry and wear the seals), running solution that is more concentrated than the manufacturer's dilution spec, or letting the machine sit with chemical solution in the lines for long periods between uses. Storing the extractor with clean water flushed through the lines materially extends pump life.
Should I replace any other parts at the same time?
It is good practice to replace the inline solution filter and the spray jets at the same time as the pump. A clogged filter is one of the most common causes of premature pump failure on Sniper extractors, and worn jets reduce the pressure the new pump can develop at the wand.
