Filled up my water tank for the first time this weekend. I stopped when water came out the vent. Could not get the faucets to work and found water underneath the sinks. Can't find the leak. Any ideas?
Water leak under sinks in H260

Water Leak
There is a valve right at the tank under the v-berth that you have to open to enable water to flow to the sinks. When I bought my H260, it had some water under both sinks that had to be there for a while. I dried this out and have had no other problems, but I check it regularly.

Leaking sinks
I kept find water under my sink in my H26 and finally discovered it was the plastic fitting that is seated in the bottom of the sink. When I tried to take it out, it was brittle and broke. I couldn't find another one to work in there so I took some 3M 5200, put the broken fitting back in place, covered it all over with the 5200, let it dry and it turned out better than new!

Probably not the sink
Check very carefully the connection on the one way valve. And I mean carefully cos they are not very strong. More than likely there is a crack in the white plactic one way valve. I really think it is worth putting in a little pressure pump with taps.

Sink Leak
OK, I figured out where the water is coming from but don't know what to do about it. The water is coming from the joints in the water supply. These black connectors slide on the blue water pipe but I can't seem to tighten them. I have some experience with plumbing, so I'm not completly in the dark about the subject, it's just that even when I pull the black ring back to try to tighten the connector, it just pulls out again. Also, I think because the connectors are loose is the reason I can't get the sink pump to work. Does it need to be primed?
