Turned on my filter for the first time yesterday. All leak free except for the return hose that is connected to the sand filter. I have the hose clamp tightened down quite a bit but it is still dripping where it is connected. Not sure how other people have fixed these problems in the past. We live in a cold climate and I need to dissassemble in the winter time so a type of glue wouldn't work for me. I inspected the end of the hose and there are no cracks, the hose is less than a year old...somehow the water is leaking past the hose clamp. Also not sure if the placement of the hose clamp makes a difference.
