Which model, platinum or something else?

Not realising water down the hose to the front blade or when using the handheld brush.

They need regular disassembly and cleaning or they tend to block. I do mine after every use.

It's a Platinum. I've been trying to use it with this tool:


Some water does come out of here when I press the valve in with a pencil, but its only a trickle. To be honest I don't know how fast it's supposed to flow.

Have you looked at the hose to see if it's not blocked?

Does the trigger work on wash and rinse cycle's when you turn the lever or button on the Vax?

I have an old Vax about 8 years old now and has the 2 tank system.

Does the Vax work on the carpet cleaning part and water comes out of the clean water tank?

I have one of these, and I have vague memory that it was not very easy getting the end of the pipe locked into the hole properly. I had to look up the instructions on the internet.

Is the cleaner  working for the carpet cleaning part ?( as also asked in the previous post)

You have turned the knob to 'wash,' on the tank, turned it on, and are pressing the trigger on the hose?
