Hi folks have a blocked jet on my wand have tried flushing under tap and blowing through, still blocked any ideas
all help appreciated

[AshWhite]

leave it in a small bowl of descaler overnight?

[Paul Heath]

the only thing that has worked for me is a blast from an air line from a compressor

[Paul Moss]

Remove the jet, and use a fine needle to clear the debris whilst running water through it on a open tap. Just make sure you clear it from the back of the jet and not the front or you may damage the cut angle of the jet opening.

[John Kelly]

Better off using copper strands from electrical cable as opposed to a needle as these will not damage the opening.

[Fintan_Coll]

Agree John. Something like a sewing needle is not a good idea. A strand of soft copper wire is much safer.

replace with stainless steel jets and filter screens, problem solved

[david_green]

Who sells stainless steel jets?

[Mike Halliday]

i carry fuse wire, the 3amp fits into 001 jets,

 then i get a trigger sprayer and hold the jet against the jet orifice  and squirt water back through the jet and washes out the dislodged particle..... just poking out blockage can leave it in the jet so when you refit it can just get pushed back into the jet

[Paul Moss]

John and Finton, since when did a fine needle become a sewing needle  :

Paul

Since when did I mention sewing needle? 

[neil 47]

How ofton should they be replaced, and whats the best size on a twin jet 100psi



Cheers Neil

[Paul Moss]

John since you started the knitting classes with Fintan 

[Jim_77]

Neil, general convention is a total jetting of '06 on a wand which would be ... hold on while I work out the maths.... a pair of '03 jets

If you had more pressure at your disposal I'd suggest you might find it performs better with a pair of '02s in it on a higher pressure, but I'd stick with the standard jetting at 100psi.

The jets currently fitted should have the size/angle on them, you might need to clean them up with de-scaler if they're a bit crusty!

I'd take a punt they say 9503, in which case replace with the same in stainless!  Make sure you get the correct thread, either 1/4" or 1/8" (I'd guess they'd be 1/4" on a standard twin jet)

Did you not know I was a tailor at one time.

If a sewing needle is not a good idea, I`m f"$ked with my knitting needle.  I`d use a strand from a nylon brush, and leave in cola overnight.
