Does anyone recommend a good tap connector for my RO feed?
I had one from RO Man and after 3 weeks it's split, so water going everywhere.
What does everyone else use?

new hose lock alloy from b and q bout 6 quid, bees knees

Well thanks for all the help...
Every person on here who makes pure water uses a connection to a tap, and only one person is good enough to even reply. ::)

Im not sure if the one at the bottom of the page on this link will be any good?

Its a Hoselock fitting with a 6mm barbed end.
Might be worth giving Gardiners a ring to see if it will do the job for you

Where's the Fairy?

that last suggestion from ajm is what I would do but as I said I am di only so no idea really, by the way your tiles look like the grouting needs cleaning :D

No, that's bigger than the red output hose. Thanks anyway.
Maybe I'll phone Alex...

Rodger, you need one of these,
http://www.remotebasket.com/basket.php?shopId=1438&deliveryCountry=225&deliveryCountryCount=1
then a short length of hose with female hoselock connectors on each end.
Or this one if you can't wait for him to re-open his shop.

-
Thanks Mike, but that's nothing to do with it!
I've got a perfectly good hoselock connection.
I'm talking about hoselock to quarter inch, which you'd still need anyway!
-
sorry rog ime not with you ??? ;D

sorry rog ime not with you ??? ;D
You're suggesting a connection to a tap. I've already got that.
I'm after a connection to the quarter inch RO feed.
I've already found one, but I was just asking if the two pieces I pointed out above would do the same job, that's all.

john gest fitings
Yes I know they are! ;D

Looks like those two make up the whole one doesn't it...?

fingers crossed then rog ;)

Can't risk "fingers crossed"!
If there's any doubt I'll have to get the other one.
-
they look right, but without sizes it would be a risk. For the sake of a few quid I would get the WCW one, at least you know that it is right. And they are usually next day delivery.
ps if you'd have ordered it today you could have had it tomorrow. ;D

I know. I'll be pretty short on water by then too.
Those two do match though as it tells you you need the other bit.
And it is quarter inch to hoselock.
I've already got an account with Ro man too, so don't need to put all my details in. ;D

Oh my god!!!! :o
What has that got to do with it? Why do people keep saying that?!!!
My tap connection is perfect.
I was looking for a connection to the quarter inch RO feed, NOT THE TAP!!!!!
I've ordered it now anyway.
Sorry Ian, don't mean to stress, just don't know why people think that. ??? I never once asked that.

No that was the original one with rubber on it that split.
Now I'm going to get one that plugs into the hoselock fitting on the tap. That way no rubber to split.
