HeoS water connector

[Manic]

Since I got my HeoS water connector it always leaks a lot of water, I thought I may have the wrong washer setup (vented or non vented) but then I thought about how the pipe comes of the back and how the fill tube runs.
So I thought I would try a extension tube on the connector, tried it today and no more leaking, I think the water was hits the back of pipe and bouncing back out.

Thanks for the tip,I had an argument with mine again this morning whilst filling and it won l ripped the bloody thing off and stuck the pipe in,will try it at next fill

Thanks for this, I’m going to try it too as I’ve experienced the same with water coming back out in gulps - and mines fitted with a breather pipe inside the filler.

Never had a problem with mine, even filling at home where we have very high water pressure.

Good idea, though never had a problem with mine.

The problem I've experienced with ours is when using a lay flat hose with a low water pressure the hose kinks and stops the flow. This happens because of the weight of the hose is pulling vertically down but it has to enter the Heos connector horizontally. You can overcome this by lifting the hose manually but this makes it a two person job if the tap is one of those you have to keep pressing the button to maintain the flow. So with a few Hozelock connectors and a short bit of garden hose I made up this, which works a treat. No more kinky hoses.

Put a clip on that piece of hose in case, during use and you don’t know, it comes off and gets down into the tank.

LOL! thought I was looking at mine! I have done exactly the same and it's a good improvement.

I find that the hose stays in my van by itself when using the pointy spout adaptor when filling up fresh water

Just make sure the nozzle doesn't come off as it'll be a bu**er to get it back!

Jusgg tv this 90’ elbow (£2.65) to help take the pressure of the spigot and it stops the hose pipe flattening when these not much pressure.

I use a watering can.

I'm interested in using something like this on my Benimar Mileo 264...

... trouble is that my 264 has a water inlet hole internal diameter 45mm. This item and others that I have found seems to be for 67mm diameter.

Has anyone found such as this to fit a 45mm diameter hole pls? Non vented tank.

Regards, F
