Angry Little Squirt..... issues with leaking

Not sure where I should be posting this, but I figured here was a good place to start.

Was just wondering if anyone has had any issues with their little squirt leaking?? ATM ours if leaking around the nozzle and we have to turn the tap to the toilet off, which means that every time you wan't to flush you have to turn the tap on... wait for the cistern to fill.... then flush, and of course you MUST MUST MUST remember to turn the tap back off... or we end up with a puddle on the toilet floor!!!

Can you get new washers for them or something?? Or do you just have to replace the whole thing?

You should be able to get a new washer for it Mine isn't a squirt but you unscrew the bit at the end and there is one there

Yes, you can definitely get new washers for them... mine came with a spare set and it was secondhand...(but unused! ).
Hope you can get it fixed quick!

We had a similar problem. DH fixed it with new washers and some plummer's tape.

Thanks Ladies... I tried to unscrew it a week or so ago but couldn't get it off all the way. I'll give it another go tonight.

OK..... had another go today, having trouble still.

Went to bunnings, managed to work out how to get the nozzle end unscrewed (with help from the man in the tools dept) the washer wasn't that bad so we just turned it around and put it back in.... trouble is we dropped the nut we were using to screw the end back in. My dad helped me screw it back in later but now it's leaking worse!!!

Is there only one washer in there??

I'm thinking my dad didn't screw it back in all that well. But was wondering if there was only one washer or if there's one further in that also needs replacing?

I think mine has two. The other one is at the end of the hose at the plumbing end. Gosh I'm glad DH is home to tell me this haha
