Don't take this personally, but it sounds like you've never connected a garden hose anywhere before. It always has to be screwed on tightly, pushed in all the way, etc.
Hi
I don’t take it personally. Personally, when I asked the neighbor, I also thought I was "too stupid to put something like this together." When he told me he had the same problem at the beginning, I was already relieved.
As I wrote – I had pushed it in up to the (supposed) stop and then closed the connector. Following his advice, I then pushed further with more force and suddenly it moved another 1 cm. Most of the line runs through a conduit (additional protection against general garden work). Our line was already completely underground (except for the sections planned for separation), then it was cut open and the T-pieces or connectors were inserted in between.
This is meant as a hint for those assembling this for the first time, so they don’t endlessly (like me) search for potential errors, but check this point first if necessary.
If you had installed a water socket right away, you wouldn’t need an extra hose attached. Then water would only come out when you connect a hose and start watering.
However, that wouldn’t work if the cistern is empty and I want to operate the irrigation system alternatively via the faucet. Withdrawal at this point was not planned – it should only be an additional feed-in point. So now we have an even more comfortable solution, which we hadn’t initially expected.
