Anyone had this hose for longer than 3 months without a leak? I've read a few leak stories with this hose.?

Mine leaked from the middle on the second use. I think you can find better elsewhere.

I haven't had this problem. Have you tried tightening it to see if that helps? I remember at least one other reviewer had the same problem. Once he/she tightened it, it no longer leaked. Hope that helps

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.

mine had no seal with it and i haven't had any leaks yet. used it all summer with a lot of rain , maybe it's your rubber seal that it sits on that needs replaced.

We've not had any issues with ours leaking. I think the leaking problems were in earlier model years, ours hasn't has any issues.

Hello Mine was leaking also after a few years. This one has an "O" ring at the top. Since replacing my old one with this one I have not had any leaks at all.

No, I have not had a problem with leaks. I have used my for about 9 months and am very satisfied with it's performance

I didn't look when I got it. I have used it for couple months now with no problems. Even had construction people working on my house use it and they have not managed make it leak or fail. The trick is to not leave water in the hose after use. Empty and put away. I have a very small basket under the hose nozzle where it is stored when empty of water and water pressure. Works great, stores in a very small place, and I believe this hose type will take over the market for home use.

No, Wally, there should be no air leaks. I've had mine for about a month now, and I'm very, very happy with it. Quiet, light weight and easy to move, with a short recovery time. Perhaps the leak is caused by the male hose connector you plugged into it.

It has never happened in 3 years. Note that there is ample pressure that even the low setting is generally too much, and a notch or two below it is sufficient. As such, I don't think the hose itself faces much back pressure that would cause it to slip off.

Oh, I'm sure there's a warranty, but you'd be dealing with the manufacturer directly, and for something that costs $20, how much time and effort do you want to put into getting them to follow through on the warranty? For me, that is zero time and effort. I went out and bought a "regular" hose for less than the shrinking hose. Lesson learned.

Mine does not leak. You have to remember to shut off the water and drain the hose. They can not take the extended pressure. This hose is so much better than the pocket hose.

I bought this hose last summer and so far have not had a problem. However, I don't use my hose too often and after seeing other responses, I am concerned. I also paid $50.00 for my hose and I like it because it never kinked. The company should have replied to your complaint and this makes me feel that this is not a good product.

We have no leaking at all from this iron, having had it for quite a long time now. Don't know how long you have had yours, but they are warranted for 1 year.

I've had my reel for 3 years and experienced no problems with the connection. This past year I left my hose and reel outside all winter, (drained all the water of course). Of course it all depends on if you're one of those persons who repeatedly unwinds the reel fully and then trys to pull a few more inches off of your hose! It's just not going to do that! The connection is durable but won't take constant abuse. I added a 3 foot section of hose to the original 3 foot and zip-tied the hose at the connection end to the reel frame. I still have the flexibility to move the reel but there is no strain on the connection. I'm on my 4th year and no leaks. I've had my reel for 3 years and experienced no problems with the connection.

Mine leaked a little too. I put some Vaseline on the threads and tighten it good. Hasn't leaked since but it's a pain opening it sometimes
