Black Sludge

[Goldenboy]

3 months ago I had this nasty black sludge come out of my wand jets when I first started cleaning. It happened again on Monday. I can clean it out of the carpet but stuff just freaks me out. The black sludge feels kind of Sandy. What the hell is it? Ive been running a blue type goodyear hose to the front door then I use a Parker hose inside the hose. Should I switch to all Parker Hose? My heating system is a little giant.

It's either the Badyear hose breaking down from being cooled or from the crap sitting in your coils between uses. I'd guess hose, just replace the first one coming from the unit.

You would of thought Waldough would of heard of Blue Neptune Black Death by now?

Ask Jimmy about it...it could be early irritable bowel syndome!

The hose may have recently frozen with water in it which often triggers the beginning of "black death".

 

[Steve CGD guy]

Lee has it right. You froze or almost froze either the pressure hose or the wand line from the valve to the jets. Had it happen to me before. That black sludge is scary when you shoot it into a light color carpet at the start of the day!

I would also be looking for a bad hose on your machine. Anywhere from the chemical solution line to a high pressure line.

 

[Goldenboy]

Yes it did recently freeze looks like Lee nailed it.
