i got 2 di vessels, and both of them leak,  sick of ptfeing them  no matter what i do they still leak from the neck and the joints,  why have you done to stop yours from leaking,  van ends up soaking wet at end of the day

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

Replace the male threaded connectors for new hozelock ones. PTFE each one with generous wraps of tape, enough wraps so it looks like it wont go back in!

Replace female connectors for new hozelock ones.

[Pope vader]

which are the hoselock ones,  do you have a link

[AS Window Cleaning]

its hozelock, as In your normal garden hose pipe fittings you get from any garden center.

and yes you need ptfe tape like nobody's business to stop those leaks.

[Pope vader]

i already use them and they leak like hell, i buy them off a wfp supplier near me,  i have even thougth of removing my di vessels and making it a delivery system only

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

Genuine Hozelock males are yellow. I also use genuine Hozelock females for mi two DI's. I have zero leaks. You can get both from B&Q, homebase etc.

Plenty of PTFE on the males is a must.

I put mine in the garage - never leak now.

[Smudger]

where are they leaking from ?? - the threads or the hozelock connectors ?

if its the threads for the water in & out go to a decent plumbers and get brass threaded connectors - male thread
each end - these will be tapered so PTFE and screw in the tape and taper will make it water tight - the other end
screw on the hozelock  fitting ( one used to fit  household tap )

if the main thread leaks on the actual bottle then you prob need a new 'o' ring

if your hozelock fitting leak put on new 'o' rings and lubricate them regularly with silicone grease - this
stops the rubber drying out and keeps it a good seal
