Has anyone figured a way to get more pressure out of this hose? I like it but the output makes it look like its got a prostate problem. :(

You've probably checked this already but I'm wondering if the problem is something other than the hose - maybe a bad or clogged connection to the main water faucet or the nozzle you're using? I get a lot of pressure through mine.

My husband has used it to water plants uphill from where it is connected to the water faucet and it has worked fine. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

a very similar thing happened to me, I did not feel that it was worth the bother to send it back. we had ours for 3 days, and it burst. I cant give you an answer for them. I would not want another one. the first one was enough for me! I wonder if the technology on this type of hose is ready for the market.

I'm having the same problem . Don't know why . Just bought last year. Not happy with product, seems like the hose isn't long enough. Tried with regular vacuum hose and it worked a lot better but not great . Found it easier to just do it the old fashion way.

try twisting any one hose 1/4 turn and repeat until you get the movement you want. it should move in different directions as it cleans

Could be your outlet flow...pushing it to one side..could be that the hose is very brittle and does not expand nor maneuver around the pool very well...might need more hose...I add and take out hose, bi weekly it makes the vacuum clean in different patterns....

are you using the clear hose that came with it? We had trouble with ours so switched to a regular vacuum hose.

I am not sure because I don't have this issue, but my only thought is that you have the valve to the hose open at all times. I don't think the product is made to keep pressure at all times. That would explain the constant leaking as well as the fact that it leaks more when you flush (due to the additional water pressure). I would try turning off the hose where it meets up with the toilet tank and if that doesn't solve it, then you should see about getting that piece replaced.

I had the same problem, i've only had it 3 months and started popping out. so I started to hold it in there manually with the plastic tip and then the hose broke off the adapter entirely. Would that be covered under warranty? I love this thing, just disappointed that my water pressure is to strong and caused it to start popping off.

I have had the same problem everyone else seems to be having and the seller, Amazon and the broker would not help. You might be stuck with a very expensive hose.

Sounds as though the pressure reducer on your supply to the house is restricting too much, may need resetting or replacement....

I had the same issue. Make sure the piece that covers the nozzle is on snug and all connections are snug ( no air seeping out of the hose extension) . The solution that comes with the gun is terrible. You won't get a good spray with that solution! I had to order Norvell Venetian however I use Lavish Tan organic solution now.

I didn't have problems with mine. I normally run 90 psi and I don't think my depth was maxed. If your running a long line or small hose you might be starving the gun.

No. Your problem is that you have too much back-pressure, which in other words mean that the hose you are using is too small. There are two options here- 1. You can make a hole in the hose right where the hose connects to the power head. That would alleviate the back- pressure on the pump. (keep in mind that you will have water coming out of two different places on the hose, the tip of the hose and from the hole you made). 2. You can eliminate the hose- you don't have to use a hose, you can use the power head by itself.

Yes, we had the same thing happen to us with the (blue) colored hoses. This season we purchased a new an improved (green) colored expandable hose and it is working out great (so far). Our hose get's used about every other day. I hope this helps.

The connections are a bit loose; my suggestion would be to keep the heavy hose propped up by putting something under it. It seems to me the weight of the hose causes the ends to experience too much stress. Also, I try to minimize the slack by keeping the hose as short as possible. Don't extend it out unless you have to. Hope that helps.

I use a very low flow hand held shower head on the hose, so to answer your question I will have to first remove that to observe the actual pressure coming out of the hose, then remove the hose to compare the water pressure before the hose. I think I'll have time to do that tomorrow. I'll get back to you.

Yes..your hose might be pinched also, more the likely the vaper pump is bad.
