Should I disconnect the hose FROM the machine after washing? And remove the adaptor from sink fawcet? Also, should I take off the adaptor from the sink fawcet each time?

I leave everything on and it doesn't bother me. I've been using my washing machine for more than 5 years now. Enjoy!

Mine *DOES* come off. There should be a cylinder-like section sticking up out of the mesh part an inch or two? Push that to the side. It'll pop off; it and the filter/mesh screen are all one part. Then give it a good scrubbing with a toothbrush and pop in the dishwasher.I'm on my second Tea Maker; the first one lasted me nearly three years.

When that happens I would turn it off right away and unplug it. Then take a look under the bottom suction area to see if there is something obstructing the flow into the machine.

never had a problem with mine but when i'm done i drain all the water and I keep the hose in a bucket thats covered. Its a small pain but i really like the hose.

Weird. Is the hot water valve all the way open after installation? Do you have good pressure with cold water? If not is something under the sink pinching the hose? Never heard of anything like this.

I used mine to purge my tankless water heater. I placed the pump in a bucket, used a washing machine hose to hook the pump to the heater and then another washing machine hose to run from the heater to bucket. Filled the bucket with vinegar, and let the pump run. My kit did, however, bring another hose and adaptor that I have never unwrapped, so I really don't know what it is.

I don't have this particular model, but for my Maytronics pool cleaner I bring it inside to let it dry out, straighten out the cord and clean the fabric bag in my washing machine on gentle. Then I reassemble everything and store it in my basement over the winter. Hope this helps!

If it is falling off the connector, I cannot help, but if the connector is falling off the faucet, the threads in the faucet spout are probably worn with age and the only solution is to replace the spout or whole faucet. I have had no problems with the connection of the filter to the adapter.

No problem so far. I don't remove this from the faucet tho. leave it connected year round & just disconnect the 3 hoses I have connected.

I do disconnect each time AND drain it if I leave it outside. Actually, I drain the filter and hose and then make the connections so in the morning all I have to do is turn the water back on.

It may be dirt. If you leave a hose connected, water can stay in the down drain and cause mud in the base. When the water is turned on, this goes up the line first. Best cure is to always disconnect the hose after you turn the water off. Another cause could be a break in your plastic line. I have no experience with this, as the faucet I put in has a long metal down drain and intake.

Mine has also had a problem with that at times. I just pull it futher out or all the way out to get it to retract again. Ours is away from the faucet and it worked fine until we changed the water hose we hooked up to it. So I don't know if that is the problem.

I have the dehumidifier- hooked up hose to back threads and put in drain (but its above in sink) does this need to be drained in ground as it is not draining & is there something I need to turn on/ off to use continuous draining? TY in advance!

None. I just unhooked the old one, connected the new one. Left faucet open for a bit, shut if off and I was done. It is working perfectly. Lots of pressure. If you let it completely empty every so often it will allow the bladder to last longer.

I initially had trouble with the pull-out hose catching on a valve under the sink, but I arranged things under the sink to prevent that. Now I just went and tested it and realized that I have to gently push the hose back into the faucet to get it to retract. The hose has a braided covering that is not perfectly smooth or tight, so it drags a little. It really does not cause a problem for me, but I don't use the pull-out constantly, only once or twice a day. It is not difficult and only took a day or two to get used to. The supplied weight and the position of the weight is definitely a factor to consider. I love the faucet and it works very well for me.

Mine leaks too at the shut-off valve. I had the washers in place and I believe they were rightly used. It seems that there is another washer below the hex nut (which is not visible) and in my case perhaps that washer has issues. I can see water coming out from below the hex nut.I tried several times but could not stop the leakage. I am returning this piece and ordering another one. Let's see how is the other one.

Yes- I took all of the hoses apart, cleaned everything, put it back together, and it never happened again. I hope that helps!
