Jets clogging too much! Remedy?

[Steve Lawrence]

Even with new 100 mesh filters in line one of my teams is struggling with jets clogging too often. Where is this crud coming from? They use a 2010 Butler always with clear water rinse. #3 jets in PMF 802's. Help!

If you are just using clean water with no chemical rinse, check that no one has removed the filter on your incoming water supply. You would be surprised at the amount of fibre in clean water.

I also have a mesh filter connected before and after my trigger on my wand

But, you like a Castex wand!

If you have a filter behind the quick connect than what is your manifold supply hose made out

I may try putting a second filter, too. Thanks, Matt.

Is there a better filter people are using?

The hose from the valve to the manifold is Neptune so I suppose that is a steel braided Goodyear hose. I think I'll swap it out for Parflex this weekend.

Two filters in series, first a #50 then a #100.

First job of the day ALWAYS open flo line and flush anything from sitting in the lines. Will show how clean or not lines are and water supply run the water until it feels warm then it should be clear.Be sure to connect all the line that you will use for that job. If you add hose flush it out. jz

Also make sure when cleaning the jets, you actually remove them from the wand. Use a t-jet cleaner gently and flush under a tap. Blow it out with an air compressor and hold it up to the light to make sure there is nothing else lodged in there. Flush the wand open flow before reinstalling. Be careful with Teflon tape. I have seen a lot of clogged jets with tiny pieces of Teflon tape in them. I have an 802 and am considering purchasing a glide for it. Do you use glides on yours?

Just replace the Goodyear hose
And forget the rest of these retards

Theres your problem.


Rubber liner giving out.

 

[Mikey P]

Teflon lined steel braided is best but probably worth more than a 3 jet 802

Okay, looks similar to hoses I think I got from Cobb's a few years back, Parflex, going in soon. Will report back if it helps.

When was the last time you replaced the trigger valve. That's usually been my problem with plugging jets. The orings start deteriorating.

Do your wands leak or pop.

Just an idea.

 

[Hack Attack]

my jets started clogging beginning of the week, yesterday the hose went 10 ft from the wand..

happy anniversary its been 2 yrs!

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Put the Parflex hose in to replace the Goodyear Inneptune. So far testing has been perfect. Very relieved! Thanks to all respondents. You actually were helpful this time!

We used well water once and had to reclean the carpets. Not doing that again!

Mine have 3 and we replaced the crappy PMF valve with a Paraplate, then changed the crappy Paraplate for the awesome Butler valve--so much better!
