Default Bosch pressure washer spitting the hose off.

The hose pipe has the "safety" connection that closes when there's

My Nilfisk specifically recommended not using the "waterstop" type hose
connector onto the pressure washer ...




I imagine that's just because of potential flow restriction, I can't see
it affecting the connector "grip".

To the OP, I'd just try a different hosepipe fitting, preferably without
the waterstop feature.


Will try that, thanks. Can't find one right now, and shops all shut until
Monday.

Easy enough to convert it. Take it apart & remove the disc & spring.
