Stop using double clean !! I stopped using it ages ago and found my pumps last a lot longer.

Double clean has never blocked my jets, could it not be the hard water in your area?

What are they getting clogged up with? any visible evidence of double clean blocking them? used alot of different chems but still managed to find my jets getting blocked, think it the hard water where we are like Dave_Lee said.
Only thing i do is at end of day or even after each job quickly check the jets, mine are only done up hand tight so only takes a couple of mins to do each time.

Guys with Truck Mounts, in hard water areas have to have a water softening system on board, to stop all the plumbing from clogging up.

I periodically leave the jets in Viakal overnight. That deals with any hard water build-up.

If you pt an inline filter in place at the wand that should eradicate problems with the jetts clogging
They only cost about £6 each
