Watching as I have the exact same issue with mine, also the C135i.

Hey Chris,
Think i have found the solution, you need to purchase the G5 lance to attach to the pressure washer gun and then your G3 lance attaches to the end of the G5 lance. I have ordered the new G5 lance so hopefully it all connects :D

Thanks, let me know once you've tried it out, you can be my guinea pig. :D

I did need to scrub, it made a much better job of cleaning compared to not scrubbing with it.

like rob said brushes on both nifisk&karcher patio cleaners are just curtain protection from thrown debris - and would wear out fast with any force.


for me, mechanical abrasion with brush helps, but if it's lichens/algae on the slabs (180bar k6) pressure washers even with power/turbo nozzle, alone, directly on slabs is not very effective (takes ages, loads of water)
so like for car cleaning too, you really need some detergent/chemicals up front, I recently tried diluted bleach leaving it overnight to soak but that wasn't very effective.


... so chemicals rather than lance enhancement is where I'd spend the money.
 
If you have a farmers market nearby, you can pickup a 20L container of hypochlorite, we have a few dairy farms around here so it's easy to get hold of a container. It brings up paving brilliantly from algae, really quick to do as well. Costs £10 for the 20L container, we just put 1litre prodict to 9-10l water into a watering can with the sprinkler, wet the paving, wait 15 minutes and it kills off all the algae, quick rinse. Done. I've tried pressure washer etc. but honestly, hypochlorite is so easy, although it doesn't kill lichen.

Interesting I had previously tried using some (drain unblocker) hypochlorite+hydroxide diluted about 10% in a garden sprayer and was disappointed this was ineffective,
it had seemed to mix well into water despite being thickened, it did not kill a couple of weeds in paving gaps either, who, I thought, would be a canary.
 
continuing down the sodium hypochlorate, solution for my patio black spot mold.
can anyone figure out the make of scrubbing brush this guy is using ?

 
well - having something with short stiff bristles - which isn't going to flick up bleach over me//clothing or onto adjacent grass sounded useful. - and I haven't seen brushes like it.
