Pipes could be blocked in the middle somewhere, not got an air compressor to blow them out?

Hi
I think thatif the jets are blocked, the pump can`t clear the air from the pipes. I normally use a single strand from a wire brush if I have no air line.
Stick it in and just jjjjjjiggle it about Arcwright. Normally works
