Rotary nozzle.

Been out to do a wash this morning and during the course of the job my Rotary nozzle seemed to be running in 1[SUP]st[/SUP] gear at times. Then after releasing the trigger and restarting again it would go straight to top gear then slow to second or first gear just like an auto transmission with heaps of problems.
I question is “Is it stuffed?”
The nozzle is just on a year in service and hasn’t done a huge amount of work but of course like anything it’s going to wear out. Am I seeing the effects of the rotary bead having worn to the point that it is not running well in the race.?
 
sorry I can't answer your question, never used a rotary nozzle, but my question is, what's the benefit of them?
I always viewed them as a liability, especially in the hands of someone other than myself.
Usually green, sometimes yellow tip for me

They have their use....... Curbing, Hard substrate ( some brick, some landscape blocks, some hard surfaces ) I use mine almost 100% of the time on concrete curbing..

I use my rotary nozzle to do the edges of concrete paths, Concrete walls, really dirty cobblestones with lots of weeds, brick cladding it gets the Moss out of the grout lines, rough texture concrete splash coat on buildings. I will say that I use it on a low pressure setting for most jobs. Use it on high pressure and you can blow the grout line out of brick work and destroy the surface of the bricks no sweat.

reposting. We seem to be getting way from the core question.
 
Sometimes they act funny, when this happens I spray some lubricant like WD-40 in them and then they loosen up.

It is a good idea to have one of those high pressure filters on it to keep trash from messing with them.

There are rebuild kits that cost 1/2 of the price of the turbo nozzle, I just buy new turbo nozzles when they are worn out.
 
Finally found the time to take the nozzle to bits. The centre piece that does the rotating has 4 very small inlets in the top of it. I took the plastic sleeve off this and founds a small sliver of rubber or silicone covering 2 and probably under work pressure 3 of the 4 holes. Not sure yet if I have achieved a fix but having crap covering 50-75% of the water inlet can’t have been conducive to efficiency.
