I set up my pro irrigation system and all was good until I turned in the pump and all the elbow joints on the main pipe blew! It was wet and quite funny but now I’m struggling to fix the problem. I didn’t see anywhere that said to use clips to hold joints together but I can’t see how to keep them together given the water pressure. Any advice or help please. Should I not have used the 13mm elbow joints?

Hi
We're looking into this with a view to possibly adding ratchet clips to the watermate irrigation components packs.
Thanks

Suggest you replace the supplied joints with double or triple ridged joints, and heat the pipe before pushing the joints together, it worked for me!

I have tried ratchet clips but they actually made the leaks worse! The tighter the clip the more the leak!
