  • Check the quality of supply of water as often tank water can have contaminants that can block the nozzle
  • For AC models:
    • The motor maybe low on power if running extra long or multiple extension leads. Only use one lead suitable for outdoor use and no longer than 25m

    • Check & clean the inline filter if fitted
  • For 36V model:
    • Check the power setting is set to "Boost"
    • The battery has enough charge and is seated correctly


If there's a low/no consistent stream of water: 

  • The line needs to be "primed" before each initial use.
