"Excellent product, except for one design flaw" |
I purchased the model with the 50 foot hose about 2 years ago and use it every 2 weeks. It works very well, except for one initial problem. The threaded coupling that connects the flow control valve to a faucet breaks easily - in fact, the second time I used it. Aqueon sent me a replacement flow control (the entire section at the faucet end), even though the coupling is removable from the rest of the flow control. However, the replacement coupling also broke after two or three uses. This wasn't due to any unusual force applied perpendicular to the coupling, as I was careful not to do that. It just looks to me like the plastic coupling is not thick enough at that point.
I tried gluing the broken couplings back together with Loctite Plastic Bonder (which does indeed work, as it is notoriously difficult to bond plastic to plastic). It worked, and the coupling has held up OK since.
Aside from this problem, I would rate the product quality as excellent. If you purchase one, you might want to buy a tube of Loctite Plastic Bonder to keep on hand. It's a 2-part product that you can probably find at most home improvement stores. And, be careful not to exert any undue lateral force on the coupling. |
