Some other makes of hose can be too soft and even if fitted correctly I think you'll find it too stretchy when pulling so won't operate the AD fully

You could put a tube strengthener in the pole hose that might help to stop the hose pulling out

red aqua-daptor hose is best ive found for both hot and cold water.ive tried gardiners new PU hose and it came out of the AD with hot water.

the barbs that gardiners sell will do the job or tube strengthener from aqua adapter, i prefer the barbs

I use Gardeners all season pole hose and it works fine. It pulled out first of all but  I just got some long nose pliers and gripped the pole hose near the push fit in the aquadapter and pushed in tightly. Never came out again.
