Can this hose be repaired?

[Whetstone613]

I don't know how this happened, since I took good care of it, didn't use it very much and haven't had it too many summers. It's took expensive to just through away yet. It's a Swimwerx, FWIW.
If you can't see the pic in this post, it's because it hasn't been approved yet.

Can't see the pic. Can you describe it or try photobucket or picassa?

Short hoses cannot be repaired. Some long hoses can, usually by cutting away the damaged section and putting a double-barbed fitting between the two pieces and using hose clamps to seal it.

Actually fixing the hose? No idea how you can do that. Pool epoxy, maybe, but it's not flexible so it could fail or cause more damage.

...and I guess it never will be posted.
Ok, I figured out how to use Drive

I finally called the store where I bought it and they said it can't be repaired. It's near an end, so I guess if I just keep that end at the vacuum, then I shouldn't have a problem. They measure the warranty on it in days

If the break is near the end, you can cut it off and put a new end on. Yup, that end would be vacuum end.

Sometimes you can put a barbed fitting into the hose and secure it with hose clamps. You may want to coat it with JB Weld epoxy first if it's corrugated to fill the gaps.
