Default blobeye sti water spray not working

Hi just a quick question. Not really sure how inportant the water spray is but i want it working anyway.

When i press the button i can hear the motor/pump trying to spray but nothing actually sprays? Is there a simple common fault or anyone had the same issue?

Thanks

does the water level change when you press the button for a while, maybe a leak in the pipe or if not the nozzles might be blocked

Pull the t-piece apart underneath the scoop, clean it all out with a pin and maybe warm water. Also if the rubber tube is being pulled to high up over the scoop it will reduce pressure a lot.
