Having a bad day
« on: May 31, 2015, 07:09:01 pm »
Everything went wrong today. I wont list them.
I topping my tank up, ready for a hard Monday. It has a float to stop over filling.  Done this loads of times. New setup worked fantastic. Plug and leave. I had a bad feeling and went out to van. I could see drive was flooded. The Wilko connector had popped off. Every where. Lucky that the drive slopes and only half floods. Looks bad anyway. I tried to reconnect connector and it always pulled off. Last try and its locked in solid. Does only Hozelock
sell good connectors

Get Gardena ones they do a version with a lock, they never come off accidentally

Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience

I have a plug in fast fill and this has happened to me .

I use "Verve" fittings , about £4 from B&Q .
Female £4
Male £4

Their better than Hozelock
