How do I ensure a leak-free connection?

What should I do if the hosetail seems too large or too small for my hose?

How often should I check the hosetail?

Troubleshooting
Hosetail does not fit the filter
Verify that your filter model is one of the compatible Hozelock Vorton UV Bioforce or Ecopower units and that your existing hosetail matches the reduction sizes (40mm to 32mm to 25mm).
Water leak at the connection point
Ensure the hosetail is fully seated on the filter inlet. Check that the hose is securely attached to the reduced outlet and consider using a hose clamp for a tighter seal.
Difficulty connecting the hose
Make sure you are using the correct reduced outlet size on the hosetail for your hose diameter. If the hose is stiff, warming it slightly with warm water can make it more pliable.
