broken snow foam
Anyone had any issues? Mines just not sucking up any water, tried fiddling about with amount of air but nothing has happened. Some water trickles out but no foam, no pressure.
Gona email where I got it from jus wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Probably just a shit blockage. Never happened to me though. Try leaving it steeping in bicarb and water, see if it cleans it out.

Have you got hard water in your area mate, If its like here i have to strip mine down every month.
Can either clean them all in hot water or do what i do and dissolve a calgon tablet in boiling water and soak them all u gotta do is wash them off.

The filter clogs if you don't run just water through it when you are finished with the foam. Replacement filters from retailer/ ebay.

This ^^ or a little beastie that's made a nest in the water chamber (don't laugh happened 3 times to my standard jet lance).
I run my snow foam lance out of foam and then run clean water through it for a good 30 secs after each use to clean the filter (point the jet at the ground not the car otherwise you'll just take off the foam on it, lol)
