Title: Unblocking fan jets
Post by: Matthew JN on June 13, 2011, 08:31:13 pm

Hi all,

Has anyone got any tips on the quickest way to unblock a lumark fan jet when small bits of debris get in there - i.e. the jet still works but the spray pattern is all messed up.

I've been using the wire from a paperclip and this sometimes clears it - but sometimes i have pull the tubing off of the jet barb which is a bit time consuming.

In my experience the piece of offending dirt usually has to be sucked back out i.e. the same way it went in. :D
