Troubleshooting
Leaking from the connection point
Ensure the rubber ring is present and properly seated. Tighten the connection firmly. If the ring is damaged, replace it.
Low water pressure from one hose
Check if the other hose is fully turned off or if there is a blockage in either hose. Ensure the splitter itself is not obstructed.
Difficulty screwing onto the water source
Verify that you are using the correct male/female connection type and size. Ensure threads are clean and free of debris.
