Product Information
Full details
The Hozelock Waterstop Aquastop Connector is an essential tool for home gardeners and professionals who frequently switch between irrigation attachments. Designed to fit most standard male-ended connectors, this piece of equipment offers a quick-click convenience that saves time and prevents water wastage through its internal valve technology. While it significantly simplifies hose management, users should note that it is specifically designed for the accessory end of the hose rather than the tap connection end to function correctly.

FAQs
Can I use this on the tap end of the hose?
No, this connector is designed for the accessory end. Using it on the tap end may cause pressure issues or restrict water flow.
Is this compatible with non-Hozelock brand connectors?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with most standard male-ended garden hose connectors.
How do I disconnect the accessory?
Simply pull back on the outer collar of the connector, and it will release automatically.
Does it reduce water pressure?
The connector is designed for minimal flow resistance, though any standard quick-connect fitting may have a slight impact compared to a direct permanent connection.
What should I do if the connector leaks?
Check that the accessory is fully seated and that the O-ring inside the connector is clean and undamaged.
Troubleshooting
Water continues to flow when disconnected
Check the internal valve for trapped debris or grit and rinse thoroughly.
Connection feels loose or leaks
Ensure the connector is pushed firmly until it clicks; check the O-rings for signs of wear.
Difficulty in clicking/connecting
Ensure the male connector is of the standard size and that there is no dried mud inside the locking collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your connector, push the female end of your hose attachment onto the male connector of your watering tool until you hear a distinct click. The device is compatible with most standard quick-connect systems. To maintain the life of the internal valve, avoid leaving the connector under extreme pressure for extended periods when not in use. Periodically check the interior for debris or grit that could potentially obstruct the valve. Clean with fresh water and ensure the connection points are free of dirt before snapping them back into place.
