Same happened to me. It broke in the first week and I was able to return it. It is under warranty. Polaris will send new parts.

If you are talking about the little plastic ring then replace it with a stainless steel clamp (available at most any hardware store).

Your only other option is to replace the entire hose bib; a pain if it's a frost proof version. They can be had at any home center complete for less than you paid for the anti-siphon unit you are referencing. The replacement project isn't a big deal...all you need is a wrench and some Teflon tape plus whichever bib you need to buy. Good luck. I too have had a few failures with this model!

Wow, mine is the same age and may have the same issue! The hose barb on mine developed a crack along the seam in the plastic. I found a new one online right here at Amazon: "Solo 4074654 Sprayer Hose Barb". Expensive for a little plastic part. I wrote to Solo about the issue, but never received a response. This one will be delivered today in fact...

We've had the same issue with our coffee maker. Unscrewed the plate on the bottom of the machine and found an orange "rubber" water hose had cracked and is leaking. I was able to remove the hose, off the cracked portion and reinstall with just enough length remaining, though this will probably happen again. I will go to a hardware store to look for replacement hose materials, its not too hard to replace with a needle nose pliers or forceps are best. I don't know if this is an issue with cheap materials or city water issues, nevertheless I was disappointed and will not be buying another Cuisinart. Its only about 1.5 yrs old.

Most likely the pipe ! Either the pipe is not fully inserted into the fitting. or it has a slight imperfection, or a sliver of plastic or other foreign material. Use the sharkbite tool to take it apart, clean it good ,. both pipe and fitting and try again. Good luck!

Can go on internet and purchase Hoover parts from different Hoover sellers or even Hoover themselves. Hate to say this, but the one I own just keeps breaking off parts....handles, hoses, etc. piece of junk, fell apart after a couple of uses.

I don't know why it failed. Mine did the exact same thing. Unfortunately, you may have to buy the repair kit. It's not too difficult to fix. I will say this, when you get ready to cut the original hose, allow yourself about an ADDITIONAL three (3) inches or more from the base than what is recommended in the instructions. This will allow you to grab more of the original hose and it makes it easier to push original hose, the new splicer tube and the new hose with wand together.

As it turned out, this hose didn't work for me because my hose reel seemed to be broken. I'm sorry, I don't feel I'm able to describe it well because it basically went unused. I've kept it in hopes of replacing my hose reel before too long.

I gave a couple of those hoses to my sister-in-law as a gift. The "nozzle" end blew off in her hand. By the time that I retrieved the hoses and tried to get my money refunded from Amazon, I was informed that the "refund" period had expired.

Contact the seller. My seller was melfiimports- Amazon market place. Mine was damaged and they promptly took care of it. I gave the seller high marks. I hope this helps. RV

Mark, I second what Michael said. Couldn't make the hose work in the unit I owned. It stopped working and the cost to repair was too high so I ditched the unit. While it works well the downsides are too many. I am avoiding anything from Haier as their customer service proved very poor.

I cannot recommend this hose. I got one last summer and loved it....... because it never crimped off. Crimped hoses are a pet peeve of mine. But now I've found it has sprung a leak just under the edge of one of the end connectors. This hose has not been abused in any way! Now I'm on a hunt, as I see several others are, to figure out how to repair it. Most hoses you can simply cut the end off and put a replacement end on. But this hose has this wire in its walls. If anyone knows how to repair it, please post.

Good question! Ours broke also and we were very disappointed. Strathwood and Amazon need to propose a solution.

I have had two and they have done the same thing, it must be a fault in the design. You can buy new attachment part from the manufacturer for about $10 which seems high. It might still be under warranty if you can be bothered to deal with it...

Hi Thomas! How do you replace the supply hose ? YOU DON'T! The only way to get this subtandard pressure to work is to post enough negative comments that the Company finally sees one posted and offers to replace your pressure washer. That's what I had to do. It worked. Now I'm deciding whether to take the new one back to Northern tool for a replacement credit on something else or just get frustrated again when this one breaks. I'm fairly mechanical but don't order the hose. You won't be able to replace it without disassembling the entire unit. Then something else will break. They tried to console me by saying that now I have an extra one for spare parts................ Hi Thomas! How do you replace the supply hose ? YOU DON'T!
