Water flows through the wand at low pressure. When the engine is on,

I experienced this with my PW, I changed out the tip of the wand and
it worked fine.

We have really hard water, so my guess was calcium deposits in the
tip.

I took off the outlet hose, and turned on the machine. The water does
not spurt out of the pipe any faster than when the engine is off. Can
this still be a wand problem then?

Tips from the web:

Low nozzle pressure is a common complaint generally caused by one of
the following:

1. Plugged nozzle tip.
2. Inlet screen plugged.
3. Insufficient flow in gallons per minute (not pressure) to the pump.
4. Unloader valve stuck open due to debris lodged under the check
valve ball.
5. Customer use of shutoff-type quick connectors.
6. Plugged hose.
