      @jaysenclarke8654 5 років тому

      I would have changed the flexible pipe for a rigid one. You never just tighten an old hose. ALWAYS change it. The price it cost for a service call is not worth taking a chance for a call back on a old hose with an old rubber gasket. That's why one of them didn't charge to tighten it because if he gets a call back the customer won't complain because he didn't pay. And if the tank is over 8 years old you write on the bill that you recommend that they have it changed in the near future. If one of my guys came back from a service call and said he just tightened an old hose instead of changing it, I wouldn't be happy.
