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

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 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.
