AG Foamaster connector problem?

[highgrade]

First off, I really like AG. The site is great, and the forum members makes AG my favorite and only site worth visiting, especially with regards to detailing.

I purchased the AG Foamaster and was really excited to use it. When I pull the trigger to spray, I get excessive water leaking out of the connector point. I can stop this from happening and the foamaster will work correctly if I push the unit into the connector point. However, this is hard to do. The leaking out of the connector is not just a few drops...it sprays water everywhere and I simply can't use it this way. I bought this during the winter and only had a chance to use it so I think the return policy is up.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to fix the connector junction so it will not leak and allow the foamaster to work properly?

you might try a thin soft washer on the female side. i have the same unit with no problems.

Just used mine for the first time this morning without any problems.

Perhaps the rubber washer fell out......
Should look like this:

Well....I figured out why I have a problem. Two bearings are missing in the quick connector. Since I had a problem from the very first use, I am sure they were missing when I got the unit. I hate not thoroughly checking stuff when I get it because now I am stuck....lesson learned.

You can replace that QD, it unscrews. Go to your favorite hardware/garden supply place, big box or otherwise.
