Need help with leaking flexible hose

[richierich]

Hi all - I have what I suspect is like a pin drop hole in my flexible hose. Every time I dry it, it gets a little wet again in this one spot. Any idea on what I can use to fill the hole? Maybe silicon? Maybe krazy glue? I don't know. It's like the 10th ridge from the top of the hose return back into the pool. It's not as simple as get a new hose as you can see from the 2nd pic its connected to my SWG that I had someone hook up.
Thank you

The best thing is to replace the hose, be prepared that those hoses tend to develop pin holes all the time. If you got the money put PVC pipe in its place. If you want to try and repair it then this might work: J-B Weld 2 oz. Waterweld Epoxy 8277 - The Home Depot

Thanks, I'll try that. I've been using these hoses for a few years and never had an issue. Any idea how these pin holes happen? I live in NY and leave them in a shed, perhaps the harsh winters make them a bit brittle? Should I store them indoors you think?

The hose is under pressure. No repair will last for long.

Replace it - it’s gonna fail at some point. Heat, sun, pressure takes a toll. I had one break on me - what a mess.
