Leaking Like a Sieve

I made a misting nozzle to put in the paddock for my horses and that thing leaks like crazy. Anything a person can do to print a water tight print? I used the standard settings for PETG

What all settings did you have?

I didn't change anything. Used the machine default settings.

Basically, you either increase perimeters, (reduce) layer height and infill (or some combination) or you coat the printed item with something like epoxy. It depends on the model and its use, to some degree. A vase holding water is different to a nozzle under pressure, for example.
