Today I was doing a job and five minutes later my wand stopped spraying water..
I think that the handle is not made of a strong enough material. And not pushing the pin in...

You may also want to check the inline filter. Confirm that it is not plugged and also that it is not faulty. Last year I had one that would for some unknown(to me) reason stop flowing. I thought it was the valve but after replacing the valve I still had the same problem so I replaced the inline and problem solved.

I dought a glogged filtered caused it to stop spraying all at once. I would guess its in the valve or the trigger malfunctioning.

post a pic Lesder

someone will have a replacement handle if that's what's needed.

It's easy enough to look and see if it's depressing the plunger/pin or not

if it's a "K" valve, you can buy a whole brand new valve on e-bay for $12-$14 bukz

My nearly new stair tool from Magic Wand quit the other day. I was ready to buy a new valve when I decided to test the QD. I took it off and blew through the valve. It was the qd that was stuck. Put on a new one in 2 minutes and back in biz.

Possible overheating causing the water pressure going way up and your wand valve cannot handle the high pressure. Just a thought.
It had happened to me before, back when I was using the "industry standard" 2 jet 1.5" wand.

Or whatever the other guys are saying....
