How to fix a busted garden hose!

What happens here

With all repairs complete, turn on the water supply to the garden hose. Visually inspect all repaired sections and newly installed fittings for any leaks or drips. Ensure that the water flows freely and that all connections are secure and watertight. If using a quick-connect, verify that the spray nozzle attaches and detaches smoothly and securely.

Goal: Confirm the hose repair is successful and leak-free.
