After just 18 months use the small rubber sealing ring round the water inlet trigger has failed. It is a simple job to replace it. But I had to buy a replacement in a little polythene bag for £8:50. There were 4 in the bag. Two the correct size and two slightly larger. So I now have one spare. But £8:50 for two small rubber rings!! I'd hoped the dealer might have had a rumage in his spares box and give me one f.o.c.

This company have every type of "O" ring you would require. https://www.polymax.co.uk Mine cost 16p.I hope this helps anyone.

When the O ring failed on my Whale inlet they sent me a pack for free. Had a few problems with air getting in until I started using a very thin smear of Silicone grease. It’s expensive stuff but a tube has lasted me about 15 years! Other compounds like Vaseline will attack the rubber so you really need silicone.
