Cat 3535 pulsating at start of rinse

Guys I have an I 5000 from D&S wash. After my last pass of soap and the rinse cycle begins my cat starts pulsating , the pressure drops to about 300 psi and slowly ramps back up to 1200. My tank is full of water and externally my lines seem to be fine. After about eight seconds the pressure builds back up and is fine through the rest of the wash cycle.
Any idea ?
 
Is it happening right after the presoak is applied? You might have a bad check valve that's letting air back into the pump, and it's pulsating/running low pressure until the air is purged.

I run a pre soak and then stage 2 . Yes it happens after last pass of soap when rinse starts.
I will try that .
 
Mine was doing the same thing and I backed my pressure down to just under 1200psi and it fixed it.

Thanks, I tried that too. Mine is only running at 1000 now. I disconnected the hot water valve and put hot water to my holding tank.
Either the valve is junk or the hot water pressure is to high .
