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?

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.

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

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,
