Blockage... loss of pressure and flow.

Believe it or not, I had a hard time finding this... I was loosing flow and pressure. Thought I checked everything. What the heck I'll try to hose reel swivel. Probably 80 to 90 percent blocked.

Ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight might make that thing look like new again.

A wire brush barely scratched it.... It's toast. Replaced it with the one next to it.... Will definitely check it more often now.

A little over 2 years. Looks like I have to check them at least once a year.

Yup. I was just gonna say it may be regularly scheduked maintenance. Keep a spare on the shelf!

No problem. I thought I was on top of my game with maint. But for the life of me i never thought to look there. Won't happen again.

I always have 3 or 4 spare super swivels on hand, mine usually last only 3 or 4 months max.

People put injector's before these swivels and wonder why they don't work.....
