Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the tap connection.
Ensure the connector is screwed on tightly and that the washer inside the connector is present and in good condition. Try re-seating the washer or replacing it if damaged.
Water flow is restricted or stops.
Check the hose for kinks and straighten them. Ensure the tap is fully open. If using a spray nozzle, check if it is blocked or set to a low flow setting. Clean any debris from the tap or nozzle inlet.
Hose appears to be weakening or shows signs of wear.
Inspect the hose for any visible cracks or abrasions. If minor, you may be able to use a hose repair kit. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary. Ensure proper storage to prevent future wear.
