Troubleshooting
Hose leaks at the connection points.
Ensure all connectors are tightly secured. If leaks persist, check for damage to the connectors or hose and replace as necessary.
Low water pressure.
Make sure the tap is fully open and check for any kinks or blockages in the hose. Inspect the tap head for any debris.
Difficulty attaching the hose to the tap.
Ensure the tap connector is compatible with your tap. If the fit is too tight, try applying a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone grease) to the threads.
