So today is a bad day.....
Had a couple of nice jobs on this afternoon, the sun is shining, got my brand new CLX for them and i'm feeling good! Get to the job and that's when the 1st problem happens. As i'm putting a new brush on the pole, i tightened it too much and snapped the quick release connector at the end of it making the pole completely useless and it's the only pole I've got that's suitable for the 2 jobs :angry:
Then i realsied something odd with my system (RO) as the water just isn't making it to the pole unless i turn it up beyond 50+ psi,

The water is fowing out of the tank just fine but as soon as i connect it to the hose reel it starts going backwards and shooting out of the connector at the top (closest to the van) and nothing is coming out the end of the brush

Then as soon as i disconnect it at the hose end it stops coming out at the top and flows fine, it's almost like something is caught in the hose itself and pushing the water back in the opposite direction.
Anyone had the same problem before? I've tried turning it up to 99psi but it doesn't change anything...
NOW SOLVED
After changing all the connectors and hoses about i finally nailed it this morning...

The problem was staring right at me all along, the small rubber band that you can see in the picture above on the port at the very top had come off of the the housing it is supposed to sit in. I am amazed that something so small as this can have such an effect on the entire system!!!
Thank you all for the replies, i can finally get back to earning money!
