Setup

1. Prepare Faucet: Ensure your outdoor faucet (spigot) is clean and free of debris. The Aqua Joe SJI-MFGA1 is designed for standard 3/4" x 3/4" threaded spigots.
2. Attach Connector: Screw the top connector of the Aqua Joe SJI-MFGA1 onto your outdoor faucet. Hand-tighten until secure to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten.
3. Connect Hose (Optional): If using a garden hose, attach it to the threaded side outlet of the Aqua Joe connector. Ensure a tight seal.
4. Adjust Orientation: The hose connector pivots 180 degrees, and the tap connector rotates 360 degrees. Adjust these to your desired position for optimal use and to prevent hose tangles.

Operating Instructions

1. Turn on Water: Slowly open your outdoor faucet to allow water flow to the Aqua Joe connector.
2. Select Mode: The Aqua Joe SJI-MFGA1 features three settings:
   • Stream Mode: Rotate the blue dial to the stream icon. This provides a steady, concentrated flow of water, ideal for filling buckets or watering cans.
   • Shower Mode: Rotate the blue dial to the shower icon. This provides a gentle, diffused spray, perfect for rinsing hands, delicate plants, or cleaning light dirt.
   • Hose Mode: Rotate the blue dial to the hose icon. This directs the water flow entirely through the attached garden hose.
3. Adjust Flow: You can control the water pressure and flow rate by adjusting your main outdoor faucet.
4. Switch Between Modes: Easily switch between stream, shower, and hose modes by rotating the blue dial as needed.
5. Turn Off: When finished, rotate the blue dial to the 'OFF' position or close your main outdoor faucet.

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically inspect the connector for any mineral buildup or debris. Clean with a soft brush and mild soap if necessary.
• Check for Leaks: Regularly check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, ensure all connections are tightened properly and check the rubber washers for wear. Replace worn washers as needed.
• Winterization: In freezing temperatures, disconnect the Aqua Joe SJI-MFGA1 from the faucet and store it indoors to prevent damage from freezing water.
• Storage: Store the connector in a clean, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

• Leaking at Faucet Connection:
  • Ensure the connector is securely hand-tightened to the faucet.
  • Check the rubber washer inside the connector for proper seating and any damage. Replace if necessary.
• Leaking at Hose Connection:
  • Ensure the garden hose is securely tightened to the side outlet.
  • Check the washer inside the hose connection for proper seating and damage.
• Low Water Flow:
  • Ensure the main outdoor faucet is fully open.
  • Check the Aqua Joe connector's dial to ensure it is fully engaged in the desired mode (Stream, Shower, or Hose).
  • Inspect the connector for any blockages or debris that might be restricting water flow.
• Difficulty Rotating Dial/Pivoting Connector:
  • Mineral buildup can sometimes cause stiffness. Clean the moving parts with a soft brush and water.
  • Ensure there is no excessive pressure on the unit from a kinked or tangled hose.
