Hey guys!
My Whisper Wash Classic is spraying out of two holes that are located on the opposite sides of the green piece at the base - see pictures. It’s easier to show than to describe.
As a result, the pressure at the nozzles drops significantly. So obviously it doesn’t clean as good as it should. Which is not good 
What are these holes, and how can I fix it? Any ideas?
Thank you!!

I took this thing out (see pic). I don’t think I can disassemble it further.
Gonna call PressureTek to see if they have a replacement part.

So it appears that I’m gonna have to order a new swivel assembly ($297 from pressuretek). It is what it is, I suppose. I can’t live without my whisper classic!
But what I don’t understand is what caused it to fail. I mean, OK - I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the temperatures dropping to 27F last night. The Classic was outside in the cold. Perhaps, some water in the swivel assembly froze up and damaged it on the inside?
Has this ever happened to anyone here? If my guess is correct, I won’t ever leave the Classic (or any surface cleaner for that matter) outside when it’s cold. I guess, I should’ve known better not to leave it out. Oh well. Lesson learned. Moving on.

Alex,
We just had to replace the bar that is in the swivel assembly earlier in the week. It’s not too difficult to un-lock it (green from silver) however, there is a pin lock on the ball baring’s that was very difficult to remove, but you wouldn’t have to mess with that. I would look to see if its just the rubber 0-ring. There is a 0-ring at the top of the ball baring’s that could have been broken and can easily be replaced. Check that first.
Awesome. Gonna do it after lunch and report back.
Thanks!

I took the swivel apart. The seals / o-rings appear to be fine. It’s this little black piece (see pic) that’s torn.
I doubt pressure tek has repair kits. But I’ll call them up. As well as look online.

OK I ordered a new seal kit online. $49 with shipping. I’ll post here if this resolves my issue.

Thank you so much for your input. It may have saved me $200+ I’ll now for sure when those seals arrive.

Alex, no worries brother. I hope that fixes it 
For us, the rotor shaft broke(bad employee!) and that piece alone was $80 and was not fun taking the pin lock out, however with everything apart and seeing how well all the parts are made, now I understand why this surface cleaner is so good.
How many seasons do you have on your WW?

For us, a little over a year on that one.
Depends on the model if you don’t have the feature with the nipple to feed him grease maybe 500 hours 1000 hours maybe

I bought it towards the end of last season. So I haven’t really used it much.
But I am pretty sure it had something to with the freeze damage.

I agree with Andrew (from Clearview Windows) - WW Classic is built very well. As long as it’s not being abused - it will last!

I have over 300 driveways on my Classic. I now switch from an WW Aqua Pro and my Classic. The Classic has bigger nozzles on it to do pool decks.
Things are awesome.
What size nozzles are you running…it would be reeeeaaaal nice to do decks with a Classic!

I believe they are 4015’s. I am using 10 gpm so that brings the pressure down to about 800-900 psi. You have to test the deck first, older pool decks with kool deck can get damaged or leave swirl marks. I often have to use my ball valve to reduce pressure even more in worn areas. Be careful. But most of the time it works great. Saves tons of time.
I ordered one, it will be here April 4th and I can’t wait…
Thanks for the info! Ain’t the ball valve a wonderful thing?!

Figured I’d give you an update.
I replace the blown seal in the swivel assembly. Put a little bit of grease and put it back together. Works great. Love my Classic again
