do the fittings leak like the "pocket hose"?

No they did not. But like I said 4 out of 5 have exploded because the fabric pulls away from the fitting and the rubber explodes.

Yes the fittings do leak. Actually one of the fittings snapped right off from the pressure of the water. It cracked. Do not buy the product. It's a scam!

I do not know anything about the pocket hose but I had 2 50 foot flexible hoses and the actual hoses busted (one completely in half) within 4 months. I also had 2 25 foot flexible hoses and one busted in about the same amount of time, the other is working just fine right now. If I were going to try any type of flexible hose I would order the x hose pro. https://www.xhose.com/pro/

Not sure what a pocket hose is but we have two flex hose and they work great. No leaks easy to use.

Yes. It is a regular hose with a regular fitting. It is a brass fittting and mine has never leaked (knock on wood). You can use regular attachments- sprinklers and such.It is the best hose I have ever purchased and will never buy anything other than this. I got it for my elderly mom after dad died. She now had to do yard work. This was a blessing. She can handle this hose, it is not heavy, if it kinks it bounces right out. I cannot say enough about it. This Spring will be my second year with the hose. If nothing happened to change it over the winter I expect another year of satisfaction. The 100 ft is long but still manageable! Good luck! Yes.

The ones I got were brass and had renewable (you could take them apart) ends. Inevitably, you'll get a hole somewhere. If it's close to the end, open the fitting (takes a large hex wrench or a big screwdriver inside, and a grabber-type tool for the outside), remove the stub, clip off the leaky end and remake. I will say that BOTH the 25 and 50 foot models, despite being inside all but a couple inch slot (they're deck mounted on a boat) in the 4" pipe they're stored in, developed multiple pinhole leaks in a couple of years along the exposed portion. So, these hoses aren't very UV robust. Keep them in the shade. Also resist the temptation to just let go of them when you've finished stretching it. They stow very neatly, if you'll just take a moment to restore the curl, even if you don't have some sort of dedicated storage device for it. Otherwise you'll have a major tangle, and an easy time of developing a kink (no water!) the next time.

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

Thank you, Richard. I apologize for this delayed response. Sorry, I don't know anything about the fittings; it was installed by a great handyman who occasionally visits our small town. All I know is that he spent about a half hour or less fitting it on, and the faucet works great. Never leaked. If I get more information, I'll let you know. The best to you! Maruta

ours does not leak and the flexablity and extra length are nice...perhaps you received a faulty one

They fit very well.They "snap" closed. I did not check to see if it water leaks out.

No but make sure the hose is rated for the incoming pressure (typically not an issue).

I have not had any problems with leaks on the connections. They have worked great for me.

I haven't. It seems that there is no fitting for that thread. It is some sort of "self threading" thread. I've the nozzles threaded to an 1/8 rubber hose and they hold there ok, but with the time they will start to leak so you will have to replace the hose.

https://www.facebook.com/PocketHose they might be able to answer your question better than I. Good luck!Oh! And be sure to read the Facebook comments from others who purchased the Pocket Hose.

No it should not leak at all. I would try to re rap the fitting with Teflon tape or pipe dope again to see if that stops it. If you can tell it is coming from the regulator I would send ot back for a replacement.

I have used mine constantly for a couple years in southern California; it was my favorite hose so I bought two more a few months ago and love them too. They have never swollen or leaked. If by constant pressure you mean having the water on but the end you would attach a sprayer to shut down, I try not to do that but forget sometimes and did not have a problem.

Mine fit well, however the threads on the tap are a little tight. I have to use a wrench to tighten it from start to finish. so it's not too far fetched to think the threads going to your hose could be out of tolerance as well. I think the QC could be a little better on these things.

NO. This is a flimsy "remnant" hose. It leaks from both connectors. It is NOT what is pictured. I threw it away after about 3 uses. DO NOT BUY!

I use mine at my coast house to clean my deck. I've never experienced any leaks, but I don't use it often.

No, it doesn't leak. I had to install it 20 inches from my window for the hose to fit.
