Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping or leaking
Ensure the PTFE tape is properly applied to the threads of the tap and riser connection. Tighten the tap connection firmly but avoid over-tightening.
Riser does not fit IBC outlet

Low water flow
Check that the main IBC valve is fully open and that there are no kinks or blockages in the riser pipe or tap.
