leaky connector
« on: June 17, 2008, 08:26:16 am »
Why does my hose connector leak.Ive 3 different hose connectors, the 1st night it just leaked all night and i lost about 100 liters of water, i changed the hoselock to one with a stop bit in it which has slowed it down but it still drips all night and day.

mine does the same,

turn the tap off on outlet to tank at night and it will stop you losing water.

No not that one.

at the bottom of your tank (mine is bottom left handside looking from the back doors) it has red tap on it and comes directing out of the tank.

yes that is the one, is it one that pulls up to close it?
I cant see them fitting a shutoff valve that does not work.

I've got the same fill port, but then with the new connectors, and I don't have any problems. But that might be because I've adjusted the shut off pressure on my varistream.
