How to Adjust a Garden Fountain Hose

Introduzione

Multiple reasons can cause a fountain to need adjusting. This fountain needs an adjustment because it leaks water, resulting in constantly refilling the fountain with water. To fix the issue, I placed a clamp on the hose to tighten it and prevent leakage. I also cut the hose shorter since it was too long, and the constant movement of the water could result in loosening the hose and water leakage. Before starting the adjustment, avoid contacting the water with any electrical wiring or devices not waterproofed. It would be best if you also tried to keep your fingers away from the blades of the scissors while using them to prevent injury.
