My coiled hose keeps unscrewing and air is escaping from the tank. What should I do?

My coiled hose keeps unscrewing and air is escaping from the tank. What should I do?

If the hose is not screwed on correctly to the tank thread, air can escape.

Watch this short video HERE and try following the steps below for a tight and secure hose connection:

  • Unscrew the hose connector cap and remove the tube completely.
  • Move the screw cap connector up and down to loosen it.
  • You may need to use more force to loosen a very tight cap.
  • If the o-ring is stuck within the cap, use a narrow object to release it and reposition the ring.
  • You can now re-attach the tube to the hose and the hose onto your Beach Shower.
  • Turn the cap clockwise to tighten it in place.

FYI - the coiled hose can come loose from time to time after being used, especially if stretched out and moved quite a lot and will need to be tightened as required.
