Swift Bathroom Tap spout popped off

[Mel]

Could the pop off type just be a precaution (fail safe) to fall off if there is a build up of pressure with debris?

Much like in my case

Could be. Would be great if it was, however the consensus on FB is that they are just rubbish taps prone to leaking as well as popping the ends off.

Like every thing else, they could make goods that last years, but then there spare parts sales would fall. Like a chap I know who used to sell cars, he hated selling Toyota,s , reason being when they drove away he never seen them again. Those days they were made bomb proof.

Sounds like the retaining clip might have failed or come loose. If the spout isn’t damaged, you might be able to reattach it with a new clip or some plumber’s tape for a tighter fit.

This is a common issue on Swift taps. They seem to have a contractual obligation to pop off. First of all dry the tap end and the popped off filter. Then look for the notch and the corresponding dovetail bit on the tap and filter and line them up. Press together really really really hard, don’t try and twist.
In the majority of cases this has done the job provided you are steady when turning the tap on.
This is well reported on Swift owners group on FB and worked for us
