If you fill a large bucket with water from the sink, you'll end up with a heavy bucket once it's filled.You don't get cold water with the hose outside.You have to haul it out of the tub if you fill it in the bathtub.Attach your garden hose to the kitchen faucet and fill it up!It's easy to do with just a few twists and turns.We'll show you how to do it safely.
Step 1: Get a faucet accessory.
The end of the faucet can be converted into a garden hose fitting with this small accessory.
Step 2: The faucet tip needs to be removed.
Don't drop pieces that are contained in the tip.It's a good idea to put a towel in the sink to prevent things from going down the drain.
Step 3: The new faucet has a screw on.
There is no need to tighten the faucet if it forms a good seal.Before you connect the garden hose, make sure the vacuum breaker is in your plumbing system.Hardware stores have hose-type vacuum breakers.If the hose is accidentally left in a container with cleaning chemicals or contaminated water, it will prevent a siphon from developing and drawing chemicals into the drinking water supply.
Step 4: The hose should have a rubber or vinyl gasket in it to prevent leaks.
If the gasket is not in the hose, you will have a mess on your hands.
Step 5: The hose needs to be screwed on.
The hose is screwed onto the faucet.It needs to be screwed on tightly so that it forms a seal.
Step 6: After using the hose, replace the faucet tip.
Attach the faucet tip back on with a relatively tight screw so that it forms a good seal.Look for leaks.If the seal on the replaced faucet tip is not as good as it was, the faucet may leak.
Step 7: Attach Teflon tape to the faucet.
After removing the faucet tip, apply two or three turns of Teflon tape to the threaded area.Pull the tape tightly around the threaded area of the faucet, being careful not to let extra tape overhang the area where the water exits the faucets, as it may impede the flow of water.
