Hot water leaks
« on: January 12, 2014, 09:51:13 am »
I have had the l5 heater in for a few weeks now. I like the hot water but I just don't seem to be able to stop the pipe either coming off the hose reel when under pressure and hot and neither do I seem to be able to stop the water leak where the pipe from the l5 joins the reel inlet. It is a pure freedom reel with Gardiners red hot pipe on it. What do you guys use as I hate water leaks.
