Hi,just finished a two day commercial job,7 to 8 none stop.Just cleaning the last 6 steps and the pressure drops in the hand tool and then starts back up again.Checked the psi on the machine when pressure drops and it does not move.To fecked to go play with it.I m thinking a dodgy hose connect.Its a prochem blazer.Any ideas .Thanks

sounds like the filter that feeds the header tank has blocked?

is the header tank filling? pull the wand trigger and peer inside

might be air bleading in from a lose supply pipe

if its slow feeding the pump it would show a trapped pressure but keep dropping when you pull the trigger
