FAQs

What size tap does this connector fit?

The HydroSure 2 Way Garden Tap Connector is designed to fit standard UK and European garden taps, typically with a 3/4" BSP thread.

Can I completely shut off water to one outlet?

Yes, the external dial on each outlet can be turned to completely shut off the water flow to that specific outlet.

How do I prevent leaks?

Ensure a tight connection to the tap and that hose accessories are fully clicked in. Regularly check and clean the internal and external rubber O-ring seals.

Is this connector suitable for high-pressure systems?

While durable, it is designed for standard domestic garden water pressure. Avoid connecting directly to high-pressure mains supply without appropriate pressure regulation.

What is the benefit of the 'Quick-click System'?

The Quick-click System provides a fast, secure, and tool-free connection for your hoses and accessories, minimizing the risk of leaks and saving time.

How does the adjustable control valve work?

The external dial allows you to easily regulate the amount of water flowing to each connected hose or accessory, giving you precise control over your garden's watering needs.

Can I use this connector with non-HydroSure accessories?

While designed for the HydroSure Quick-click System, it generally offers good compatibility with other standard quick-connect hose accessories.

Troubleshooting

Leaking from the tap connection

Ensure the connector is screwed on tightly to the tap. Check the internal rubber seal within the connector for any debris or damage and clean if necessary. Consider using a thread tape if the tap thread is worn.

Leaking from the hose connection

Make sure the hose accessory is fully clicked into the outlet. Check the O-ring seal on the hose connector itself and clean or replace if damaged.

Low water flow to one or both outlets

Verify that the tap is fully open. Check both control dials on the connector to ensure they are open. Inspect hoses and connected accessories for any blockages or kinks.

Difficulty attaching or detaching hoses

Ensure the Quick-click mechanism is clear of dirt or debris. Push firmly and twist slightly when connecting. For detachment, firmly pull the connector collar outwards.
