The spring has gone on the little arm, is there any way of fixing it without drilling the rivets.

Cheers all

You can buy replacement springs from Aqua Dapter, they are a bit tricky to put on but with patience you can get it up and running again.

Hi,

No; the only way to replace this spring is by removing the plate done by drilling out the rivets. Has the spring definitely broken or is the arm sticking? In other words, if you carefully push a flat screwdriver between the body of the Aquadapter and the plastic plate, does this free up the little lever?

The main spring is easy to replace.

The arm isn't sticking Spruce its very loose which makes me think the spring has broken.

You do not have to go to such extremes. A set of pinchers and some patience will sort it. Ive had to replace several springs and you do not have to drill out the rivets. Doing so will weaken or break the Aqua Dapter and void any guarantee!

he means the spring in the side that opperates the little lever, not the main spring. so yes you do have to drill the rivets from the side. Email paul at AD an he will send you the link for the spring as its not listed on their website.

No, not at all. He explained it was spring on the little arm.
