Hi s_hall9800,

We bought a Vax Rapide Carpet Cleaner and were disappointed with it's performance as we couldn't see it spraying the cleaning soltion onto the carpet. I found there was no pump and gravity was all that put the solution on via a sparge pipe, controlled by a trigger-operated valve. So, all that happened was an intermittent sort-of dribbling. The cleaner picked -up quite well, though and we sprayed the carpet using a separate hand-held sprayer.

Vax rapid power plus upholstery hose trickling water

There are a few things you can try to fix your Vax rapid power plus upholstery hose:
  1. Check the water tank: Make sure the water tank is full and securely in place. If it is not securely in place, it can cause a reduction in water flow.
  2. Check the nozzle: Remove the nozzle and clean it thoroughly. If there is any debris or buildup, it can cause a blockage in the nozzle and reduce the water flow.
  3. Check the hose: Check the hose for any kinks, twists or damage. If there are any kinks or twists, it can reduce the water flow. If the hose is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
  4. Check the pump: Check the pump for any blockages or damage. If the pump is not working properly, it can reduce the water flow.
If none of these steps work, it may be best to contact Vax customer support for further assistance or to have the machine repaired.

Hello Jet Black,

Check the bottom of the clean water tank to make sure it is fully seated... and the hose connections...

Else you have a loose/broken fitting from your "trigger"

Hi my vax rapide ultra carpet cleaner seems to continually spray without operating the trigger and this makes extraction of the water/ solution difficult.Is this continoues spray normal?

No it should only spray when the trigger is pressed. After spraying you go over the area to suck the water out. The valve on the trigger is faulty. I found this

I had the same problem, after buying a new clean water tank the problem was still there. I decided to see how it works and discovered the little shut off valve that the trigger operates is sticking in the open position. I am now trying to find a new valve.
