Hippo Repairs

How to send your hippo back for Repairs

  • Unattach the WATER hoses only. LEAVE THE GAS HOSE AND REGULATOR ATTACHED (this is the orange hose)

    The water hoses are a simple push fit connection, so you just need to gently pull the little brass sleeve down at the top to release the fitting. 
  • Remove the silver boiler from the frame

    To do this, undo the single bolt at the top and the bottom using an allen key and 10mm spanner. We only need the boiler, not the frame, as it will add significantly to your postage costs.
  • Wrap well, and tuck it up into a box

    Download the paperwork by clicking here: Repair Paperwork, print it out, fill it in and pop into the box with your boiler and return to us.
