Helper and I arive at our last job of the day yesterday, a five bedroom beach house without a outside water hookup and the cleaning crew was using the washing machine, so I hooked up to the drain on the water heater and didnt think to let it run for a while before conecting to the TM, needless to say half way through the third bedroom I lost pressure, opened the water box and found handfulls of mineral deposits clogging the pickup screen starving the pump!! cleaned the box, finished the job and went home and cleaned all the screens in my system.
I'm going to get a faucet adapter and play it safe!!!

that ring of adapters is nice , Kieth, but you'll only use one of them on that ring 97.3% of the time.

Scrub-above, Home depot or lowes or any decent stocked hardware store..in the plumbing section with the faucet aerators you'll find a faucet to hose adaper.
it will have inside and outside threads on it.
That one adapter will fit 99% of the faucets found in res and 93% of com faucets.
to cover the other 6.7% of com faucets, you can buy the smaller thread adapter.
It's actually more of a reducing bushing to go with the first adapter

about 3 bukz is all they cost.

But just that one adapter will cover you in all but the MOST RARE situations
