SmartWash Pet Hose extension does not dispense water or solution.

TIP: Before cleaning, prime the pump. Press the dispensing trigger for up to a minute to rid any air trapped in the hose.

  1. If priming the pump did not help, remove the hose attachment from the unit port. Insert a small object (pen) in the solution port to ensure it is dispensing properly. If it is not, then run the hose extension tool with warm water to remove built-up gunk.
  2. Once you verify the solution port is dispensing, rinse both ends of
    the hose under warm water. It is recommended to do the same for the attachment heads. 
  3. Lastly, put your clean hose back into the port, and make sure is firmly plugged in.
