So cleaned that up with hot water and old toothbrush. Put everything back in and tried pumping water and water started flowing that strong it almost cracked my windscreen

I wanted to just say if anybody has problem with windscreen or headlight washers to try cleaning the tiny mesh first.
+1 on this post, after cleaning the little plastic mesh I have never had cleaner windows!
On a related note, Mr Muscle kitchen de-greaser spray is an absolute revelation regarding keeping the outside of the windscreen clear! Spray on, rub in, rinse off.
