Debate started on another thread so instead of hijacking someone else's thread thought I should start a separate one.
I recently bought an RO unit and have decided the only convenient place to run it off is my garden tap. Garden tap has a hozelock connector on it usually which does not leak.
I bought this:

But the connection with my garden tap is poor. Loads of water leaks out of the top and as a result it takes about 12 hours to fill a 25l jerry can. Am also wasting loads of water.
I then foolishly bought this:

Thinking it would allow me to connect the ro hose to the hozelock adaptor on the tap. Of course it's designed to do the opposite. It's for window cleaners to connect an RO unit to a hose, not a hose to an ro unit.
Any ideas how to get this connection working? I've thought about buying an additional connector that would fit the connector I bought above to the one on my tap but can only find male-male ones, not female-female ones, e.g.

Or is the original tap connector a bit dodgy. Should I just try another one? Don't want to spend the money if I'm going to end up with the same problem given I've got a hozelock connector that don't leak.
