[ps outthere]

My trolley is used as a van mount, and I run out of water regularly and if I run out I get air in the tube. The quickest way for me to clear the air out is to, lower the brush to ground level and let the pump move the water and air. It woks for me.

Forpy, this is just an ordinary female hozelock connector on the end of the intake pipe is it?

Do you ALSO have the nozzle tap on there?

ALSO is it one of those that shuts off or just an ordinary open female connector?

sorry mate missed this : my set up is diy so i cant be sure about freedom thingys BUT the problem is air getting in inlet pipe (in barrell ) so i put a female hozelock with a check valve in it on the end of the INTAKE pipe these are the sort of hozelock fittings that cut off supply when you pull out the spray gun if you are watering your garden.It worked for me

sorry i dont know what nozzle tap is ???yes its one that shuts off ...pump opens it when you switch on/demand water back pressure closes it

up date  for jikwan :)two days now and its still working for me.best if you change over before barrel empties but if not  just open tap on pole/reel whatever turn varistream to boost and wait for it to pull to full pressure dead chuffed

good for you lj
ive descovered that my  hozlock "non return" leaks
the one that connects to pole hosing
got to replace that and get another to stick on end of feed hose
i know this trick works

the connector that is on the hose you connect to take it off and remove the plastic bit inside that stops the water when hoses not plugged in and make sure the hose on the trolley is not dented anywhere especially at the bracket on the side . did this now have no trouble . also i run mine from a tank now as a tank system and never get a air lock . but as others have said the finger shoved in the end works great but this is because of the plastic bit .

this plastic bit is a loose floating bit eh?
