MAKHOON redesigned the valve body from a crack-resistant polymer blend and paired it with a low-friction POM gear to better tolerate repeated pressure cycles and abrasive conditions. The kit ships with one complete G52 backup valve assembly and an upgraded G53 gear, plus an 18-month warranty for added confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the MAKHOON G52 upgrade prevent nozzle spray when the cleaner hits an obstruction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upgraded valve body seals more reliably under backpressure and keeps water from being forced out of the nozzle when the cleaner stalls.
