It's just air.

Sometimes takes a whole to work through.

I like the bubbles tbh.

I bet it’s air see if every now and again it seems like it’s spitting water out the brush,stopping briefly I reckon it’s air run the pump flat out for a while.

Take the top of the resin vessel off shake it and then do it back up,run the pump flat out and see if that clears it.

Also try another brush if it doesn’t have detergent on it then it must be air.

Sometimes happens when water in tank gets hot but I sometimes get it when the hose  real has been standing for a while  like over a weekend.

I get it when using the van for the first time after a few days off . Nothing to worry about , all clears up after a house or two .
