Why is the hose leaking on my Intex Water Pump and what causes air lock/leaking from pool inlet air adapter/air jet valve?

If you're experiencing a hose leak, air lock, or leakage from the pool inlet air adapter/air jet valve on your Intex Water Pump, ensure that the hose clamps are well-fitted, and tighten or reinstall them if necessary. Check if the hose o-ring dislodged when connecting the hose and put the o-ring back into the groove. If the hose is broken, replace it. Open the air release valve, lift and lower the inlet hose until water starts to flow out of air release valve, then close it. Also, ensure the air jet valve is tight and facing up. If the air jet valve internal seal is blocked or dirty, plug in the pump and run for a few seconds, then unplug, repeat 3 times or remove air jet valve, flush dirt out with water and replace valve back. If the air jet valve is broken, replace it.
