The trick to stop it leaking is to make sure that plastic end thing on your pole stays on there. It eventually falls off the poles i have bought and needs gluing on again.
A few times i've left it and the hose chaffs very quickly against the end of the pole when it goes in, which feels like a gnat is having a pee over your leg.
Keep that plastic bit there and the hose will last a long time.
