Hi all.
I switched to WFP 3 weeks ago. Bought a 2 man system; the tank is connected to the reels by push fit pipes. First 2 weeks I had no problems, but this last week was a nightmare. The last bits of push fit going into my reels kept coming off (on both sides ?). The last bit is (I think) a 3/4 bsp, it spins as the reel unreels/reels back in. I’ve also had problems with the pipe coming out at the other end of that last section, I’ve uploaded a photo to make my problem easier to visualize.
I’ve replaced the last bits of pipework going into the reels on both sides. One side seems to be fine now, but I’m still having problems with the other. It seems to be when I’m reeling back in (electric) that it comes loose and eventually pops off. My reels weren’t bolted to the van, but I’ve managed to ratchet strap them in. That seems to making a difference as the reels and pipework aren’t constantly moving about now, but it’s still not totally fixed.
Any ideas?
Oh and one last question. I’m new to all of this, so apologies if this is a daft question. If the flow rate on my pump is set too high, could that make a difference to the pipework coming loose more easily?
