I attached 1" diameter pond hose, and all the fittings leak terribly! How do I resolve this?

Simply go to your local hardware store and buy the appropriately sized hose clamps that tighten with a screw driver. Place the clamp over the end of your hose, fit this over and onto the filter and tighten just enough to stop the leak.

Make sure that the O rings are in the quick connect fittings, if not replace, lube the area where the O rings are and reattach hoses, I haven't had any leaks in mine.

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.

Sounds like you have a problem with your hose. I would just replace the hose and it should work fine.

I had a similar problem, but it was due to my cross-threading the water supply hose. I was very careful, and it appeared to be threading straight, but it was not. I changed the water supply hose (plastic) to a new one, and the problem was solved. It was user error and not due to product.

I have not had any leaks from the spigot, do a water test when you get it. Make sure the rubber gasket is seated correctly.

Had the same problem- everything was fine until I changed the filter & the next thing I knew it was leaking like crazy- I almost threw it out but decided to re-assemble the whole thing again. The tube on top of the motor has to be in the corner so it goes directly into the tube of the raindrop cover. The cord from the motor needs to be flat and in the little insert. If everything is not lined up just so, it will leak. I also moved the lever on the motor -it was all the way to the left and I put it mid-way. Who knew it was so delicate that a few millimeters would throw off the whole system. I like the fountain but that's a design flaw they should alert you to- ruined a little rug I had too.

you don't. I used a pool type flex hose and clamp. The hose is bad; their hose is too short and drains on your feet. Easy to fix with a 5 foot length of pool hose.

NO, the fittings are designed to be used with 3/4" Garden Hose connections. Could you adapt the fittings for air? I suppose you could be I've always found that air will leak where water will not. Plus I'm not sure the increased pressure of air would be smart. ie: Water 30-50psi Air up to 120psi.

Jim I don't really know if Intex or the company I got my hose from has an adapter that will go from 1.5" to 2/5" but maybe you can get something in the plumbing section of Lowe's or Home Depot. The hose I got from the company leaked and they were good enough to get me one from Intex that was much better. Hope this helps a little

wow - can't imagine where it would leak - I wouldn't use it until I figured it out! I'd check the space where the water is pumped up to - sounds like you should be able to fix it though - good luck

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

The only think you can do is throw it away! I had two hoses and they both leaked with in 4 uses. These hoses are garbage.

Sure is -Update 8/2/14 - These leaks can be fixed. Went to Lowes and bought a small plastic fitting and 2 small hose clamps. With a pair of scissors I cut out about 1 ft on either side of the leak. I inserted the fitting, placed the two hose clamps and then secured the open area with duct tape to cover the entire opening.Works fine again for $1.50! Bought two more because I love them.

there is a plastic insert in the hose which regulates the flow of the water . maybe it has something blocking the flow . take that plastic insert out . maybe that might fix your problem

Mine leaked. Your best bet is to return it but I was too lazy. I used an old sock and then the plug to prevent the table from leaking.

Lift the spring and you will see a standard connection where the hose from the sprayer connects to the main body of the faucet. If that is where the leak is coming from you could try taking it off and putting thread tape and retightening it. If its leaking farther down, you may have to purchase a new faucet.

Lucy - I'll bet that the leaking is coming at the point where your hose attaches to the sprayer. Check the female receptacle on the Havaheart sprayer and see if their is a washer that your hose is supposed rto butt up against. If not, you can get hose washers for less that a buck at any hardware store. Good luck.
