    How do i stop an outside hose from running - the thing wont turn off
    Turned on the hose to fill the pool and now the thing wont completely turn off...still about 20 perfect coming out of hose and ive turned the nozzle as far as i can. Went to front of house to turn off water but the box seems locked.

      Have you check your basement for shut-off valve?

        Yep, go into the basement and there will be a shut-off valve you must close.

            There's still a shutoff valve. Look in the closet that faces the street. Anything that faces the street. Under the sink,
            toilet/ bathroom etc.

              The valve will shut off the house water. You will need to turn that off to fix your problem anyway.

                  You have completed step one by consulting the forum. Cool, I do it sometimes too.
                  Turn off water to house, replace valve. If you do not know how - go to youtube or elsewhere to find out, grab a friend (with tools if you do not have them), grab six-pack, and a joint, and 30 minutes after the doober is done, so is job.

                    Wrench and muscle.

                    Good luck.

                      For a short term (or long term) measure, get a one way (or two way) valve that has its own shut-off(s) and attach to your spigot. Home Depot, Lowe's etc have them. I actually have attached a two way valve on my outside spigot so I can run two hoses in different directions. I also live in Florida.

                      Joe.

                        Have you tried shoving the hose in your ass? That will stop the water from going into the pool.

                            Looking for the shut-off valve -- under the sinks valves just seem to shut-off the individual sinks.

                              take a screw driver and take off the faucet handle, then take a wrench and turn it off that way.

                              If that doesn't work, put your hose in your neighbors yard for the night and call a plumber tomorrow.

                                get a big hammer and knock the end of faucet off where it comes out of the wall.

                                  When you suggested he "kink" his hose, did you mean this tale?
                                  Mick and Harry were having a drink at the pub one night, when Mick noticed a blond making eyes at his friend.
                                  "Go and chat her up," Mick said, "You might get laid!"
                                  So Harry went over to the blonde and started chatting. But after about ten minutes, Harry came back to the table, looking pissed off.
                                  "What happened," asked Mick, "It looked like you were going to score!"
                                  "Yeah," replied Harry, "Things were going fine until she said, "I won't let you fukk me unless your cokk is at least 8 inches long!"
                                  "So what's the problem?" asked Mick.
                                  Harry replied, "BITCH, I'm not folding my dick in half for anybody!"

                                      The shut-off valve might be under the house, like in a crawl space.

                                            ho told him "I want you to fuk me with ten inches and make it hurt!!!"

                                            so, he fukked her twice and hit her in the head with an iron.....
