Possible Causes

Worn or contaminated solution solenoid valve, debris in manual valve seat, excessive line pressure from pump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and relieve pressure by squeezing the trigger.

  • Flush valve: Run warm clean water through the system to dissolve detergent crystals that may prevent full closure.
  • Inspect solenoid valve: Access the solution solenoid valve and check for leaks at its outlet when the unit is off. If it drips, the valve may need cleaning or replacement.
  • Clean manual valve: If the trigger operates a mechanical valve, inspect and clean the valve seat and O-rings.
