Like the title states, my Polaris hose has a pin hole in it and squirts water all over the place....sometimes outside the pool. Any ideas on how to patch it?

Which hose has the hole? Is it the sweep hose? You can slide one of the wear rings over it. A pin hole wont bleed too much pressure. You could slide a float over the hole if it's on the feed hose. Was the hole cause from wear?

Not sure how it happened. I just noticed a small fountain while the Polaris was running this morning. We did have some extra cold snaps of weather this year and I keep the Polaris in the water 365 days a year, but I also have a timer with a freeze-protect setting.

If it does not affect the performance of the Polaris, and it's not spraying the windows (fountain is not too high), I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just slide the nearest float over it. If it bugs you, i suppose you could cut the hose at the pinhole and add a swivel. The proper fix, although a bit pricey, is to replace that section of hose. Problem is, you have to buy a whole 10 foot section. Maybe your pool store has sections laying around he'll give you one at a good price (free).
Thanks for the help. I will slide a float over it for now.
I wonder if Pool Putty would work to plug up the hole.
