Is 5/8" a size because that is the coupler I used. Those are great points you bring up and my line is basically the wrong thing for all of those. Not very deep, in a mixture of dirt/rocks with a lot of rocks, and this particular leak was located in a high traffic area that I’ll roll the lawn mower over. I’ve used the coupler that you shared several times before and those areas have held tight… it’s just odd that it’s always the same area. Tonight I got the cheaper slip couplers because I thought it would be easier.
