when does a fan jet stop becoming a fan jet ???.............when it decides to become a pencil jet ??? half way thru the day the fan jets splutter a little,so done the usuall blow job ;D on them checked everything reassembled and now i have pencil jets :P
As this happened to anyone else,whats the answer
-
Have you a pre-filter between your tank and reel?
-
Sounds like you still have dirt stuck in your pipe.
not mhappened with gardiners fans but it has happened and i used a fine artists paint brush down the stem to
clear it out and 'back flush' with pure

i will strip down later and double check,but would it happen to both jets?

well i have don it now,broke the buggars,thought i would be a smart arse and knock them out and have a good luck but because they are the new super lite plastic fan jets they simply snapped :'(
well back to pencil jets must admit was liking the fan jets
probably order the metal ones in the new year
-
Flow and pressure weak somewhere for them to stop fanning

I must say there better than the metal ones.. They rinse super quick... I've got two brushes running the new jets.

i would invest in a bike pump and the adapter for blowing up footballs . take the hose to the pole splinter the pump the poop out mate then reconnect.

I suspect this is correct, I went out today and noticed my fans had also turned to pencils, I upped the pressure a little and it improved somewhat. Then I noticed there were air bubbles in the line to the jets, then I noted a tiny leak on the output of the pump. I've not bothered to fix it yet mind ;D
Come the morning I'll have another look and prove it one way or another.
