    • @Mattofmichigan
      @Mattofmichigan 3 года назад

      Thank you Checking out my video ! I would recommend shopping around for a better 1/2 hose for the shower head. Clearance at Lowe’s or HD. Amazon surely sells them also. The metal casing around the hose held up nice but over time the ends worked free and are very sharp ( I tapped my ends up) The garden hose runs to my water pump which I have a 5/8 to 3/4 adapter. I had a few leaks at the beginning ( water pump connections ) with the proper Teflon tape and a wrench to snug things up it was quickly fixed. Tote will catch any drips if it starts leaking again. Let me know if you have any other questions!
