Precautions for installing water machine
We have received a complaint about a customer’s water hose bursting after the improper installation of the machine, it caused the water leak out and soak the whole house. We find that during to the installation, someone removed the original Pre-Filter of the customer to install his own. Therefore, the hose needs to be modified.
The original water hose has deteriorated, however, when the machine installed, the customer haven’t be informing the problem.
And also using the rust hose connect to your new Pre-Filter, it will be burst and the water will leak and soak the whole house. Distributors should bear the responsibility and compensation.
Taking photo for the water hose before and after the installation. If there is any problem with the customer’s own hose or other equipment, Distributors should warn the customer immediately.
