I have a timing device (Hozelock) attached to my garden tap, which waters the garden for 5 minutes each morning and evening.
Unfortunately the tap connection has developed a slight leak. There is a kind of two-piece connection, one piece attached to the tap, and the other to the timing device, one fitting inside the other.
There appear to be two adequate washers, in good condition, so I'm rather puzzled about the cause of the leak, and more important, what to do about it.
Is there any kind of magic plumbing glue or cement one can use in such a case? Any suggestions or advice gratefully received.
I ought to admit that the garden in question is in Italy, and I have just planted a little lawn (with grass seed), so watering is probably necessary, although the forecast on TV this evening was rather sombre, "Summer has ended, troublesome weather is coming in from the Atlantic".
I have to leave Italy shortly, and had been relying on my timing device.
