Leaking Wand

I have a 2 jet wand from prochem and its leaks water from the left hand jet all the time.
I have tried cleaning in case its the chemicals causing this but it dosn't seem to work, I have also cleaned the valve where the trigger is but still no use.
Any Ideas

the jet has a spring & ballbearing check valve which stop leaks when the flow is stopped.
either it is blocked open or you've stripped it down and droppped out the ballbearing without noticing or the spring has lost its 'power' and is not pushing hard enough to stop leaks, lightly stretching the spring might help.

Repalce the K-Valve, just done this with mine, £14.82 direct from Prochem and got it next day in the post.

take the valve apart and place a small washer under the spring to lift it a bit worked for me Paul

If it leaks from the jet it sounds like the ball and spring is faulty, replace, job done.

hi i had the same problem, plus the water pressure had dropped a lot. I tried the advice that that you have already been given but still no difference. I unscrewed the spray jet on my wand and there is a filter directly behind it which i did not know was there and it was totally blocked, scraped it clean and no leak and pressure like new again.

I've never tried this, but I was told once that if you get any problems with the jets on your wand its always worth a trip to the air hose at the local garage. Give them a blast, and if it is due to a blockage, this could shift it.
