Connecting to a faucet
CAUTION:
Always use a pressure-resistant
water hose with ø13 mm or larger diameter and
connect to the faucet using a proper fittings.
Otherwise, the water hose and/or the fitting may
break and cause personal injury.
NOTICE:
Use a pressure-resistant water hose
as short as possible. The amount of intake water
should be higher than the max feed volume of the
pump.
NOTICE:
If you connect to the mains for drink-
ing water, use a backflow preventer valve which
meets the regulations in your region.
Prepare a pressure-resistant water hose. Attach the
coupling sleeve to one end and connect the other end
to the faucet as follows.
1.
Remove the nut on the coupling sleeve and pass
the pressure-resistant water hose through the nut.
Insert the end of the hose into the coupling sleeve and
then tighten the nut.

NOTE: If you connect the pressure-resistant water
hose to the faucet using a coupling sleeve, attach it to
the both ends of the hose.
2.
Connect the pressure-resistant water hose to the
faucet. Apply a suitable fitting such as hose band or
water tap joint to secure the hose end with the faucet.
