VAX Platinum Floorhead Spray Manifold Blockage

No solution spray from the floorhead but spray works from the hose tool

Possible Causes

Clogged floorhead spray bar, Kinked solution hose at base, Blocked internal check valve to floorhead, Mineral build-up from hard water

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine and remove the clean water tank before working on the floorhead.

  • Check hose tool spray: Confirm that the hose tool sprays correctly. This indicates the pump and main solution line are working.
  • Clean floorhead nozzles: Remove the floorhead (if detachable) and locate the spray bar. Use a pin or soft brush to clear each nozzle hole. Soak the spray bar in a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and warm water for 30 minutes to dissolve mineral deposits, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Inspect solution hose at base: Look for sharp bends or kinks where the solution hose enters the floorhead. Straighten or reposition as needed.
  • Flush system: Reassemble and run warm water (no detergent) through the system for several minutes to flush any remaining debris.
