i think i got a duff thread from day one , it came with the elbow fittings on which leaked no matter how much ptfe tape i put on , then i swapped for the hozelock and again wads of ptfe and now its just wrecked, ive tried other fittings and it always the same , other that bonding on the fittings which is a option unless i can source a replacement, then ill have to just cough up the £60
