- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the entire length of the pipe and all connections for any signs of wear, kinks, bulges, or leaks.
- Cleaning: If mineral deposits or debris accumulate in the connectors, disconnect the pipe (with water supply off) and clean the adaptors and filters (if present) using a soft brush and water.
- Storage: If the pipe is to be stored for an extended period, disconnect it, drain any remaining water, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leakage at Tap Connection | Loose screws on universal adaptor, worn rubber washer, improper tap fit. | Ensure screws on the universal adaptor are tightened evenly. Check the rubber washer inside the adaptor for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the tap spout fits correctly within the adaptor. |
| Water Leakage at Machine Connection | Loose connection, damaged washer in machine inlet, cross-threaded connection. | Hand-tighten the connection firmly. Check the washer inside the machine's inlet for damage. Ensure the connection is not cross-threaded. |
| No Water Flow | Water supply tap is off, pipe is kinked, filter clogged. | Ensure the water supply tap is fully open. Check the pipe for any kinks or bends that might restrict water flow. Clean any filters in the tap adaptor or machine inlet. |
