Thanks Bruce, heading off in next day or so. Planning on swinging by the fairy creek protest area , it’s on way to one of our fav camping sites, see if we can get by the blackshirts. If not we go onto klanawa via cowichan lake .

I’ve been dissatisfied by washers for years. I’ve cleaned pump and connections, added a check valve ( meh) and even another pump in-line. I’ve bought some Suzuki sx something something nozzles that might work, but haven’t done it.
Friend Simon put in some similar that I bought extras of. He’s very happy. More velocity in jet too, which surprised me .

I’ll get around to it someday. 

Bugs me more that the wipers come on when pump comes on, I want a second delay so screen is wet first. Hence my check valve experiment .

Ab
