Water pressure

[John.Stitch]

Is mains and rather high.
6 months ago I replaced a hose on an old Servis Gem W/M.
It is held on with spring clips.
It is the cold feed to the powder compartment.
This replaced hose has started leaking at the same point, a three way junction.

Options I can think of are:
1. Buy a 1/2" jubilee clip and fit that, as it may give greater sealing effect than the spring clip.
2. Buy and fit a pressure reducing valve for the whoel house or just the W/M.

Any other suggestions welcome.

switch on the cold tap
turn the tap down till it goes to a reasonable pressure
unlikely your problem but will give a temperary fix

if this is doing nothing different then your machine repair has issues

needs to be done again properly i'd say

Reducing the flow rate into the machine by turning the supply valve down by the inlet hose is advisable if you have a high water pressure (it will not damage the tap or appliance)

as long as the spring clips were not damaged when you replaced the hose they should be strong enough to seal the pipe (I usually remove the hoses and check for wear or dirt and clean them up if they look ok and re-fit them)
