Troubleshooting
Leaking connection at the tap
Ensure the connector is screwed on securely. Check if the tap's thread is clean and undamaged. Consider using a rubber washer if one is not already present or is worn.
Leaking at hose connections
Verify that the hoses are properly attached and that their washers are intact and seated correctly. Tighten hose connections firmly but avoid overtightening.
Low water flow to one outlet
Check for kinks in the connected hose or timer. Ensure the tap is fully open and that the other connected device is not drawing excessive water, affecting pressure.
