The Viking Brass Washing Machine Nozzle operates by simply turning on the water supply to the connected faucet or pipe. The integrated aerator plays a crucial role in optimizing water flow:
- Aerated Flow: The aerator mixes air with the water, creating a smooth, non-splashing stream. This not only makes the water flow feel softer but also helps to conserve water by reducing the overall volume used without compromising pressure.
- Reduced Splashing: The aerated flow minimizes splashing, keeping your laundry area or workspace drier and cleaner.
- Konzistentni pritisak: The nozzle is designed to deliver a steady and consistent water pressure, which is essential for the efficient operation of washing machines and other connected appliances.
No special operation is required beyond turning the water supply on and off as needed for your washing machine or other applications.

- Čišćenje aeratora: If you notice a reduction in water flow or an irregular spray pattern, the aerator may be clogged with mineral deposits or debris. The aerator can typically be unscrewed from the nozzle for cleaning. Rinse it under running water and use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove any blockages. For heavy mineral buildup, soak the aerator in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for a few hours before scrubbing and rinsing.
- Provjere curenja: Regularly inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. If a leak is detected, turn off the water supply and gently tighten the connection. If the leak persists, you may need to reapply plumber's tape or check the condition of the rubber washer (if applicable) within the hose connection.
