Polaris 360 Hose leaking?

[golfguy21]

I have a Polaris 360 and it has not been moving fast in the pool. I did notice a leak in the hose and was curious if that was caused by a broken O-ring and if that would slow down the cleaner. I have attached a photo and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Replace the swivel.

Yes, a water leak will slow down the water powered cleaner.

Hey, I would make sure the hose nut is fully threaded onto the hose and if the O-ring is bad maybe just replace the whole hose nut before buying a swivel. Swivels when bad normally break at that middle seam, but obviously anything is possible

Leaking swivel. In the picture you can see the water coming from the swivel onto and around the nut. Replace it.

Take it apart and take a close look at where it is leaking.

The other thing is I have seen the back piece on the hose nut pop out and that would be a hose nut replacement. Where that seam is it can pop out and leak.
