Just got a new elbow barb fitting for the outlet of my pump but when I connect the hose and turn on my system all is fine utill I unplug my pole and the pressure builds up and the hose blows off and there's water all over

How can I get it to stay on?

Matt,do you mean the hose that is going on the elbow,if so just use a jubilee clip mate,

Yeah, thats what I mean gaz.

But the jubilee clips that I have are rubish. I got a pack of 20 for 99p from a local pound shop but when you tighten them they break!

Need to get this sorted tonight.

Matt those cheap clips are cr@p,most shops are shut now,you may get fixed up at a petrol station ,but buy good ones,

But I thought because it was a barb the hose would grip?

[H h20]

It depends on the bore of the hose,if it pushes on easy it`s too big,i always use a barb and hose that needs softening in boiling hot water then when it cools it`s a nice tight fit,

Gaz, it was a tight fit! I put the hose in boiling water first and then put on!

AAARRRGGHHHHH! There is always something isn't there?

The joys. but it's all worth it

[H h20]

Then it may be a trip to the petrol station,i have a few quality ones but it`s a bit too far to throw you one  ,

[H h20]

Ok Matt,but buy a few you never know when you need one

Yes you have got to "Jubilee" Clips They always work best cheap ones just break and the metal screw just breaks after screwing it a lot!
