Turn on the water taps completely and check for leaks.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement
dates on the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the tap.
Damage to the inlet hoses can result.
Clear water lines
Run water through both taps and inlet hoses, into a laundry
tub, drainpipe, or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water
lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water tap and that the
cold water hose is connected to the cold water tap.
