Water out of 2 jets unevenly?
« on: August 05, 2015, 01:51:26 pm »
On my gardiner mixed dual trim, left jet is firing out, right jet hardly at all?
Tried upping the flow, tried takes the right tube out of the john guest fitting and the water comes out fine.
Soon as I plug hose back into central john guest fitting, it fires out the left jet and trickles out the right. Any advice?

You have a blockage in the tube or jet, nip off the good side and you should blow it out.

im betting you have a tiny bit of a leaf/plant debris in your right jet ! ;)
price higher/work harder!

Hmmm thanks chaps. I have tried giving the tube a good old blow to no avail. Perhaps it's lodged in the actual jet and dazmond suggests.
How do I flush that out?

Push a pin or small needle in. If it re-blocks then pull the pipe off the back and go in that way.
It's a game of three halves!

Sometimes, it can be enough to just block up the open jet with your finger - to put more pressure on the partly blocked one.  I always try that first - occasionally it works.
