Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the connection point
Ensure the hose is fully inserted into the connector and the accessory is securely snapped on. Check for any debris on the fittings that might prevent a tight seal. Inspect the seals on both the connector and the accessory for damage.
Low water pressure at one outlet
Verify that the other outlet is not completely closed off or blocked. Ensure the main water source is fully open. Check the hose for kinks or blockages upstream.
Accessory not fitting securely
Confirm that the accessory is designed for a 12.5mm (1/2 inch) hose and has a standard connector. Ensure the snap fitting on the connector is clean and free of obstructions. Try a different accessory to rule out a compatibility issue.
