Karcher pressure washer

I’ve been cleaning my patio. The pressure hose from machine to patio cleaning head has sprung a leak.  Presumably it’s not the sort of thing you can just tape up, so does anyone have a clue about whether it is replaceable or not.  I can see how to change the head but I can’t see an obvious way of fitting a new pressure hose.  

And if anyone also has ideas about how to finish off the last few feet,  let me know.  I’ve tried ordinary hose  and a stiff broom but it has no impact.  The patio is north facing and shady so  it really does need a good clean.

A lot depends on the age of the machine how easy it is to change but all of them can be changed fairly easily.  Look at where the hose goes into the handle.  If it has a little clip - one flat bit one side, two little bits the other - then just push the two little bits out.  if not the handle will need to be split in two - undo the screws and carefully note where all the bits go !  Loads of replacement hoses on ebay.

Detergent and a stiff broom is the only other method.

You could try heavy duty duct tape to get the last few feet finished.

But try here for spares. Depends on Model number etc.
