Where is the setup leaking from? Is it the connectors or is it from where the hose fits the barb on the connector?

If it is the connection have you tried replacing the O ring seal?

If it is from the hose onto the barb have you double clipped it as is recommended?

Don't use O clips.

You need one jubilee clip. If you want to be doubley sure use two. I have up on o clips on anything bigger than pole hose years ago and glad I did.

Use a socket to tighten the nut on the jubilee clip and not a
Screwdriver.

You can use either jubilee type clips or O clips. The important thing is to get 2 of them holding the hose on to the barb. Any connection that is hose to barb when using hot water must be double clipped.

The advantage of using jubilee clips is that they can easily be tightened - I would still recommend using two of them though.
