Quick Answer
Attach the GoSpout to your WaterPORT tank by threading it onto the tank outlet, then pressurize the system by pumping the tank or using the built-in pressure mechanism. Check for leaks before use.
Before You Start: What You Need
You'll need a WaterPORT tank (any size works) and the GoSpout assembly. The GoSpout includes a flexible hose, spray nozzle, and a threaded connector that fits the tank's outlet. No tools are required, but having a clean work surface helps avoid dirt in the system.
Common Installation Mistakes to Avoid
A loose connection is the most frequent issue. If the GoSpout isn't threaded fully, it may leak under pressure. Also, don't overtighten—hand-tight is sufficient. Another mistake is installing the GoSpout with the tank already full; always install it on an empty tank to prevent spills.
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Tank: Ensure your WaterPORT tank is empty and the outlet is clean. Remove any dust or debris from the threads to guarantee a good seal. A clean connection prevents leaks and contamination.
- Attach the GoSpout: Screw the GoSpout connector onto the tank's outlet by hand until snug. Do not use tools—overtightening can damage the threads. If it feels cross-threaded, back it off and start over.
- Pressurize the System: Pump the tank's built-in pressure mechanism (or use the included hand pump) until you feel resistance. Listen for hissing sounds that indicate a leak. A steady hiss means you need to tighten the connection or check the O-ring.
- Test the Spray: Open the GoSpout nozzle and check for a steady stream. If the spray is weak, add more pressure. If water drips from the connection, re-tighten the GoSpout. Always test over a bucket or ground to avoid wasting water.
