FWIW most hoses come with cheap hard washers that don't work very
well. Do yourself a favor and get the fat black O ring type washers
that compress and seal well.

Did that, still leaked although the O-ring did a better job than the washer,
it still hissed and chattered like a demented squirrel (spraying water as it
"sang") whenever I changed position with the hose. Once the threads are
buggered, maintaining a leakproof seal is close to impossible.
