Hi,

Same thing happened to me this weekend ! Water was simply shooting out of the top of the T piece and not even reaching the jets ! So living 17 miles from the nearest dealer I have affected a fix that works with no noticeable difference other than a very,very slight delay prior to the water emerging from the squirters,Fix as follows;

Remove the T piece prise off the red top cap ( very easy with a thin edged knife or similar),put silicone inside ,use a small drill bit to gently drill through the 2 connecting valves that the jet tubes attach to and simply place some insulating tape around it for additional security and replace.

This is not as complicated as it sounds and my jets are very powerful.

Regards Giles.
