Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this soaker hose in November 2019, about three months ago. I bought it because it was advertised as being HEAVY DUTY. I use it about two hours a week to water in a new hedge, and run it on low pressure so the water can slowly sweat into the ground. Today I noticed that the hose was spurting water out of one section. The photos show a section of the hose sweating properly, then the section where the water is leaking out fast. Should I wrap electrical tape around the leak, or send it back? If the seller is reading this, please advise.
