If the hose is coming of at the unit give it a twist it should lock into place.If the hose is coming of at the window kit you can screw in the hose in farther.

Something I do is cut the water off and squirt the water out of the hose to relieve water pressure prior to returning hose into unit. I have 2 also and only one seems not to retract like it should and I believe there's a way to take it apart and make spring tension tighter. I've thought about doing that; but continue messing with it until the hose finally retracts which it always eventually does!

Oh, I'm sure there's a warranty, but you'd be dealing with the manufacturer directly, and for something that costs $20, how much time and effort do you want to put into getting them to follow through on the warranty? For me, that is zero time and effort. I went out and bought a "regular" hose for less than the shrinking hose. Lesson learned.

Well i didnt have a problem but i do change hoses frequently cause if there not washable ( most of them arent) the do built some kind of dust from the charcoil and it tends to brake them or clogg them so you need to buy new ones and problem solve if you are willing to invest buy the washable ones there a lil pricier but u can rinse them and there way more durable

what Jeffrey suggested is exactly what I have done in the past. Also make sure that there nothing blocking the hoses, I found that sometime the chemicals that I have used might cause a blockage, wash the hoses & pump.

Yes- I took all of the hoses apart, cleaned everything, put it back together, and it never happened again. I hope that helps!

I'm sorry,but I haven't used the hose. I bought my Kirby refurbished and when I had a question, I called the business that refurbished the vac. They were great. Answered quickly, made suggestions and solved my problem. Try calling whoever sold yours.

I had the same problem with the Kreepy. It will happen with this model too as they are virtually identical in function. In my case I solved the problem by filling a bucket with water (for ballast) and setting it near the edge on the top step to keep the floating hose away. When the pool is used or company is over I take the bucket out. This cleaner does a great job at a third of the cost.

Sounds like the hose isn't securely fastened into the slot. Make sure you turn it, and it sort of 'clicks' into place. Otherwise, I would guess a defective product?

We just coil it up the way it came. A bit of a trick sometime. One way to solve your problem is to use a hose reel. No coiling or uncoiling involved then.

I guess you mean the pressure hose. Try Home Depot. I got one there - a stronger one. Make sure the connectors are identical. The original one lasted for one usage. Piotr

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

I have had this happen to me too. Take the lines apart and use a high power spray to clean the inside out.

Place a zip tie around the hose and the connector and tighten it down to stop the leaks. Be sure the hose is all the way on before using the zip tie.

If you are talking about the main hose that has the crevice tool fitting on it, it is a left handed thread. Tighten by turning it counter clockwise. Maybe try some silicone or soft glue. It is one of the flaws of this vacuum. And honestly, frustrating..

I just recently noticed in having the same problem. I suppose I'm going to need to contact customer service or just get in there and see if it needs some pipe dope.

Maybe the hose is too long? Mine will curl up in a circle sometimes when I put hose up wrapped up but if I stretch it out straight it seems to help.
