I had one leaking at the fitting last summer, when I replaced the hose the water was right there. Has anyone out there thought about putting valves on these.
Hi there, ALWAYS have valves on an underwater exit, even when 0.5"only. Even when the exits are slightly above the waterline consider valves.
