Check that the 3/4" BSP thread on the tap is clean and undamaged. Ensure the hose washer is present and in good condition. Tighten the hose connection securely.

Water flow is restricted.

Ensure the 1/4 turn isolation valve is fully open. Check that the appliance hose is not kinked or blocked. Verify that the push-fit connection is fully seated.
