FAQs

Can I connect two different types of hoses?

Yes, as long as both hoses are standard garden hoses with quick-connect fittings, you can connect them to the splitter's outlets.

What is the maximum water pressure this splitter can handle?

The product is designed for standard domestic garden water pressure. Excessive pressure beyond typical household levels may affect performance or longevity.

Does this splitter come with any adapters for non-standard taps?

No, this splitter is specifically designed for taps with 1/2" and 3/4" BSP threaded outlets and does not include adapters for other types.

How do I winterize the splitter?

To prevent damage from freezing, it is recommended to disconnect the splitter from the tap after use in autumn and store it in a dry, frost-free location.

Will this splitter reduce my water pressure?

While any fitting can introduce minor resistance, the splitter is designed to minimize pressure drop. Significant pressure reduction is usually due to other factors like hose length or kinks.

Is the green colour purely aesthetic?

The green colour is part of the product's aesthetic design, making it easily visible in a garden setting.

Can I use this splitter with a pressure washer hose?

This splitter is designed for standard garden hoses. Compatibility with pressure washer hoses would depend on the specific connection type of the pressure washer hose.

Troubleshooting

Splitter does not fit tap.

Verify that your tap has a 1/2" or 3/4" BSP thread. This splitter is not compatible with non-threaded taps or different thread sizes.

Water leaking from the tap connection.

Ensure the splitter is screwed on tightly by hand. Check the tap thread for any debris or damage. You may need to use a rubber washer if one is not present or is worn.

Water leaking from hose connections.

Ensure the garden hose quick-connect fitting is properly seated and locked into the splitter's outlet. Check the O-ring inside the hose connector for wear or damage and replace if necessary.

Low water pressure from one or both outlets.

Ensure the main garden tap is fully open. Check for kinks in the connected hoses. Clean any debris from the splitter's outlets and valves.

Shut-off valve is stiff or difficult to turn.

Gently try to work the valve back and forth. Ensure there is no debris obstructing its movement. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
