Title: Hot water WFP today - Hose popping off
Post by: mgba_78 on December 10, 2012, 08:17:49 pm
Gone over to hot WFP today  ;D but the hose connector on the outside of the reel which comes from pump/ heater keeps unscrewing itself when i wind in. Its not the push in part its the bit which has the hose on at the rear of the connector.
This never happened before we were hot so im presuming its the flexibility of the soft hose.

We currently have the brass style connectors is there a better option or a way of keeping it on???

Would this connect to hose and then i can crimp over the back?????

Looks like it would work,
Also have you adjusted your dead end stting on your pump controller ( if you have one ) so the pressure doesnt build up so much
Also do you use the elbow swivel on the reel as that helps

Is the controller digital or analogue,
If its digital you have to adjust using the buttons ( cant remember how )
If its analogue thetrs probably a dail to manually turn inside the casing
