    It sounds like the water pressure is decreasing I just read that using a larger diameter hose will increase your water pressure to your sprinkler by 60%.I

    try checking the washer inside the hose connection. It's a problem I have had in the past and i just replaced the washer. Tah~Dah!

    You may have hard water deposits on the threads. try wrapping a vinegar-soaked rag around it, then scrubbing off with an abrasive. Another suggestion would be to use plumber's tape on the threads.

    Sounds like you need a new washer where the hose connects with the faucet.
