you need to return it, this was one of the flaws we encountered and looked at both Home Depot and lowes to fix it. But nothing helped

replace the O ring with a flat washer first. These hose ends are the best I h have used if you need to replace your existing hose ends.

Amazon sells replacement O-ring on their site... Check the diameter measurement and see if they have it in that size. Search for silicon O-ring.

I had the same problem. Try replacing the rubber o-ring. Even if it's new, replace it. Seemed to work for me.

Forgot to inform you can reuse the same o-ring. Inspect for damage. Plan your job and Start to finish at most should take 25 min. If your taking longer than that your doing something wrong.

I got this same unit and had the same problem. They send the unit out without a plastic washer for the spray nozzle. If you don't have a tight seal both water outputs don't work correctly. I called the manufacturer and they sent me a washer and it worked. You can also get a temp washer at your local hardware store

If the leak comes before the module then shut off the water, pull the hose And replace the one ring and make sure it ends up where it is Saposed to sit. That's the official answer. But if you can't get the o ring to stay in placer while you get the hose in place, put a real hose clamp on it.

Unfortunately I don't know how to replace the nozzle. I have never needed to do so.

snapped apart how?, Ours has been working well for years, aside from having to replace the spray nozzle.

I had the leaking problem described here. Took the handle off and took the cartridge out. Looked fine - I noticed the cartridge nut was loose when I unscrewed it so I hand tightened it and it stopped leaking for a day. I took off the handle again and tightened the Cartridge nut with a wrench until snug (the nut is plastic and I did not know how tight it should be. Definitely don't over-tighten). The leak is gone but there is nothing in the documentation on how much to tighten.

I had the same problem and had to replace o-ring under cap but it still didn't work,on my second one,first one cracked down the side after 1 year.

If you don't use it on the rubber o-ring, the o-ring will not seat properly, resulting it a leak. I know this because I didn't use it and had a leak that was resolved by using the grease.

The nozzle can be unscrewed for cleaning. When replacing the nozzle, be careful to not damage the o-ring.

O-ring? Or you tightened up the valve too much and the threads got stripped. I'd ask the inventor of the paintball adapter set up

dry it off and manhandle it. never had a problem here. only hard part is getting the leaking to stop with new filter. must clean o rings and make sure filter is spotless or it will leak.

When u put the o ring in it just has to be under the two nipples opposite the handle and compressed to be put under the blue plastic one by the handle. If the o ring doesn't look uniform you might need a new one. But otherwise it might make some noise at first while its building pressure but u got to let it build to seal. Maybe just test with low level of solely water as a preliminary. U'll figure it out just play around

The rubber gasket is for the older design fittings and is available from Amazon: Nelson 50339 Hose Quick Connector Washer Set. The newer design uses an o-ring for the seal along with a regular hose washer. A good replacement o-ring is a 70 durometer Buna-N with 16mm ID x 20mm OD. I bought 10 off eBay for $3.89 and they work much better than the original. Use a little silicone grease at first. My original o-rings lasted a week ... these replacements were used daily all summer and are still OK.
