Any ideas on how to prevent the leak in the van from using the univalve on my pole ? I'm wasting so much water and I'm flooding the front of my van. 

I'm a newbie and it's v frustrating. Appreciate any help. It's a steep learning curve:)

 
A lot depends on your set up. Have you got a controller on your pump or are you just trying to stop the water flow with a univalve? Is the leak before your pump or after? Could be a million things. Without knowing your setup I will see if I can find that needle in my haystack.

A very common sense fix, if you have water being pushed with the aid of a pump and a univalve installed working as a tap you have insufficient tension on your joints possibly your pump outlet hose or hose reel where you've used hose clamps, jubilee or Double ear O clips 

Common faults

Over sized diameter hoses on barb fittings.

clamps, jubilee or o clips that are not compressed or tightened enough.

Pin hole leaks in worn hose.

this is a case of needing to understand the core basics or plumbing and your system to avoid further problems
