Leaking hose fitting problem

 I'm at my wit's end on this one.  I don't remember this ever being a
problem until recently.

Where ever I have a hose connection, it leaks like a sieve.  And by leaks
I mean it sprays a narrow jet of water 10 feet.  It happens where my hose
meets my faucet and the other end of my hose regardless of what it's
attached to.  It happens with my leader hose to my hose reel.  It happens
with my timer.  It happens with all sprinklers and hand sprayers.  I have
replaced the washers.  In fact I have replaced everything except the
faucets themselves.  But since this problem occurs from one end to the
other I don't think the faucet themselves are bad.  Something else is
wrong.

Is there anything I can do to eliminate this problem?  The person at the
local home improvement store didn't seem to understand my problem and
thought my hose had a hole or tear in it.  That's not the problem.  Let me
know if I'm not being descriptive enough.

Thanks,
John

I don't understand the problem either.  What kind of hose connection do you
use?  Where exactly does the water come out?

A guess (only a guess at this point) is that you are using a plastic snap
fitting system and the O rings have come off the male ends of the fittings.

   I was going to suggest it might be a bad batch / incorrect / very
old washers  ....  but it would probably be obvious if that was the
problem  -  as soon as you removed the connection & double-checked the
washer.
  ...  good luck.

I bought yet another bag of washers.  Same problem.

I never had this problem until recently.  And like I said before I
honestly replaced every single hose and the problem persists.

You still haven't said exactly where the water comes out or what kind of
