Title: Problem installing fogwash
Post by: Pure Glass on November 05, 2011, 04:43:17 pm

Started to use my fogwash tthis week until I sprung leaks on 1 of my hose clips as the water goes into the fogwash. I have standard 15mm hose to and adapter to speedfit hose and then into the fogwash. The leak is on the barbed reducing adapter.

Ive changed it three times and still it leaks. Then I connect to the hose reel and the pressure builds and the leak gets worse. As the pressure builds, the pilot goes out and then the heated water obviously stops.

Any suggestions please. Really irritated by this and cant seem to solve what seems a simple problem.

Got hoselocks on mine with tap connectors and they don't leak at all. Plenty of ptfe tape on the threads. Maybe get shot of the speedfit?

Switched all fittings to hoselock and its works fine now

I think with the leaks, the increase in pressure caused the hose reel to back up and so the pilot went out

Thanks lads
