Water leaks from hose connections at the pump inlet or outlet.

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the pump before adjusting hoses.

• Retighten clamps: Use a screwdriver to snug hose clamps, but avoid overtightening which can crack plastic fittings.
• Inspect O‑rings: Remove hose adapters and check for O‑rings. Replace any that are flattened or cracked.
• Check hose ends: Inspect the molded cuffs on Bestway hoses for splits. Replace hoses with damaged ends.
• Reassemble carefully: Thread adapters straight into the pump ports by hand to avoid cross‑threading, then lightly tighten.
