I run hoseless with 2 reels. One ez-snap fitting refuses to close and the other has been going for years. Changed the one that wasn't closing and even replaced the back to tank fitting. Yesterday i forgot it was left open as I couldn't snap it on the back to tank fitting and turned on both reels and flooded the back of van till I got to first job.

So decided to find out what was going wrong when I changed it again. Turns out its the lower part of the fitting which has plenty of limescale on it. Because of the plastic cover I can't get WD40 in to that part. In future I will need to remove the cover and get WD40 or Plusgas into it to keep it working.

After years of this problem I have found a simple solution, incase anyone else comes across this nightmare.

I often wd40 mine as they stick.

They are designed for airlines though not water.

Sometimes they don't easy-snap do they? Making sure the water pressure is on when I connect sometimes helps.

Do you get limescale with pure water ?

It looks like limescale but whatever it is, it stops then working. Good spray keeps them nice and clean.

I was like “limescale?” As well. 😂
