FAQs
What is the purpose of the AquaStop connector?
The AquaStop connector has an internal valve that automatically stops the water flow when you disconnect a watering accessory, such as a nozzle or sprinkler. This saves water and prevents messes by stopping water from spraying out when you change tools or move around the garden.
How do I change the spray pattern on the nozzle?
Simply rotate the outer ring of the 3-in-1 Nozzle to select between jet, cone, and fine rose spray patterns. Ensure the selector clicks into place for the desired setting.
Will this set fit my outdoor tap?
The included Threaded Tap Connector fits 95% of outdoor taps with a 3/4in BSP thread. It also comes with a 1/2in adapter for older or smaller taps. If your tap is significantly different, you may need a specialized adapter.
Do I need a separate hose connector for each accessory?
No, the Grab Bag includes one Hose End Connector and one AquaStop Connector. You attach the Hose End Connector to one end of your hose and the AquaStop Connector to the other end. The nozzle then connects to the AquaStop.
Is the nozzle adjustable beyond the three patterns?
The nozzle provides three distinct, pre-set spray patterns: jet, cone, and fine rose. There are no further adjustments within these patterns.
What is the pressure rating for the hose connectors?
The Soft Touch Hose End Connector features a triple locking system designed to provide a secure fit and withstand water pressure up to 10 bar.
What materials are the connectors made from?
The connectors feature an ergonomic design with soft-touch grips for comfort. Their internal parts are made from ultra-tough engineering plastic to ensure durability and a long, leak-free life.
Troubleshooting
Water leaks from the tap connector
Ensure the Threaded Tap Connector is correctly fitted to the tap. Check if the internal washer is present and intact. If using the adapter, verify it is properly seated.
Hose connector feels loose or leaks
Check the Soft Touch Hose End Connector's collar and ensure it is securely attached to the hose. Make sure the hose end is trimmed cleanly and inserted fully. Inspect the internal O-ring for damage.
No water flow from the nozzle
Verify that the tap is turned on. Check that the AquaStop connector is not engaged (this happens when an accessory is disconnected). Ensure all connections are secure and not blocked.
Spray pattern is weak or inconsistent
Clean the nozzle head by removing any debris or limescale buildup. Ensure sufficient water pressure from the tap. Check that the nozzle selector is firmly set to the desired pattern.
AquaStop connector not stopping water flow
Ensure the accessory (nozzle) is fully disconnected from the AquaStop connector. Check for debris within the connector's internal valve mechanism that might prevent it from sealing.
