I bought a little domestic Nilfisk pressure washer today.
Cannot get the thing to work properly - it keeps blowing the inlet hose off when you release the trigger on the lance to stop the flow
The thing works fine and for as long as you keep the trigger in and keep spraying, but as soon as you stop, there seems to be a build up of back-pressure which blows the threaded female connector right off the connector off its male counterpart on the back of the machine. A bit of googling suggests the problem may be down to an auto-stop valve on the brass connections on the hose upstream of the connector.
Finding it impossible to get to speak to anybody at the manufacturers customer service line currently.
Before I go and buy a new set of hose-connectors thought I'd ask if anybody here has come across the problem - and is that indeed the right fix ?
