Plumbing Question

[aussiblue]

Have you fully repaired the fault now?

Yes and no. I have fitted the new hoses so the old tap is safely working (albeit checking daily) but I am waiting for the arrival of https://plumbingsales.com.au/15mm-ma...ting-mst1.html and https://floodstop.com.au/shop/ and a new tap.

In the meantime I have found the original receipt for the mixer tap that boasts not only a six year warranty on all parts but having "lifetime guaranteed bust-proof braided hoses". Of course the retailer has vanished the same way as the local retailer of my now holey marine grade aluminium house gutters with the 25 year warranty did (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvb9HurTz2o ) . There was also no separate manufacturer listed or printed on any of the tap or hose parts or papers just the Wells water mark on the tap/ In fairness the fine print said the warranty was limited to replacement of parts and not damage from failure and admittedly the hoses did not actually burst just corroded at the threads.

I am going to make diary reminder to replace all such hoses in my house every five years in future.
