The machine has 2 water intake outlets on the back top of the machine, you can contact 2 water inlet hoses to hook up with the regular water source like the regular washer. It also comes with a STANDARD SIZE faucet adapter which helps to directly hook tp the standard size faucet. If your faucet is not the standard size, it will not work. At this point, recommend you to search online to get an aerator faucet convertor which helps to resize it. Or, you can check with the local store, such as homedepot, and ask with the expert's help. They may give you some suggestions to solve it. Gentle reminder, if the machine won't intake water, it will not leak. Please do not lower the drain hose on the ground, please always hook up the drain hose at the sink, otherwise the water will automatically drain out for gravity. At your situation, recommend you to check with the manufacturer service team by email to service@ezbyonline.com, they can support you the further service and also send you the instruction on how to use this machine.
