Water is leaking from hose connections at the pump or filter.

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the pump before tightening or removing hoses.

Steps:

• 1. Tighten clamps: Use a screwdriver to snug up hose clamps on Flowclear hose adapters. Do not overtighten to the point of cracking plastic.
• 2. Inspect gaskets: Remove hoses and check for flat or cracked rubber gaskets inside the adapters. Replace with new Flowclear hose gaskets if worn.
• 3. Check adapters and hoses: Look for cracks in the plastic adapters and splits in the hoses. Replace any damaged components.
• 4. Reduce pressure: Ensure the filter is clean and that return valves are open to avoid excessive pressure that can worsen leaks.
