Troubleshooting
Water leak at the tap connection
Ensure the female tap connector is screwed on tightly to the 3/4" BSP tap. Check the threading for any debris or damage. Consider using PTFE tape on the tap threads for a better seal.
Hose does not click securely into the connector
Verify that the hose connector is fully seated on the tap connector. Ensure there are no obstructions in the click mechanism. Check that your hose is the correct 1/2" or 5/8" size and the hose end is not damaged.
Low water flow or pressure
Check the main water supply to the tap. Ensure the tap is fully open. Inspect the hose for kinks or blockages. Clean any filters within the hose connector if applicable.
Tap connector appears corroded
While brass is corrosion-resistant, extreme conditions can cause surface oxidation. Clean with a brass cleaner or a soft cloth. Ensure the area is well-drained to prevent water pooling.
