Is the connector suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions?

Yes, its robust metal construction is designed to withstand outdoor conditions. However, for prolonged frost, it is advisable to disconnect and store it indoors.

How do I clean the tap connector?

You can clean the connector using a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using abrasive or chemical cleaners that could damage the metal finish.

What does 'anti-splash functionality' mean?

It means the connector is designed to reduce or prevent water from splashing out when you connect or disconnect the hose, or during low-flow situations.

Troubleshooting

Connector leaks at the faucet

Ensure the connector is screwed on tightly by hand. Check if the faucet thread is clean and undamaged. Verify that the faucet thread size matches the connector's compatibility (16.7 mm or 21 mm).

Difficulty attaching the connector to the faucet

Confirm that the faucet thread is clean and free of obstructions. Ensure you are using the correct connector for the faucet thread size. The connector is designed for hand-tightening; avoid excessive force.

Water flow seems restricted

Check for any internal blockages within the connector or hose. Ensure the hose itself is not kinked. Verify that the connection to the faucet is fully secure.
