Pool leaking where hose connects on the outside

[maxshuty]

Hi all, I have a slight leak coming from where the hose connects to the pool. I've taken a video of it here:

Any help or advice on fixing this would be greatly appreciated. If it requires draining the pool down to the level of this connection then I would rather just let it sit all summer until we take it down as something this small I assume would take a long time before I would notice a significant drop in the water level.

Look slike to me that the screw tightening cap is backwards. I could be wrong but I think the flat flange portion should sit flush up against the liner? Flip it around and see if that solves things. Good luck

I agree that the cap is backwards. The flat part should go against the pool, while those flange lips are to use to tighten up the cap with your fingers easier.

Yep, backwards.

Doh. Thanks everyone, after flipping it around the problem was solved.

I am glad that was the issue. With how those fittings work they require large surface area to squeeze the gaskets to correctly seal the fitting.
