my washers where working fine but now have suddenly started squirting out slowly.

i have disconnected all the hoses and blown the air compressor through them and they all seem clear.
could the pump be on its way out?

what did you use to fill it... could of had some crap in it...

air compressor through the jets wont work... you need a pin right through them... try sticking the pipe somewhere and see if a decent stream of water comes out
