How should I store the hose during winter?
To store the hose during winter, ensure it is completely drained of water. Coil it neatly and store it in a dry, protected area away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Can this hose be used with hot water?
This hose is designed for cold and moderate temperature water transport. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may damage the PVC material. Always refer to product specifications for temperature limits.
What is the diameter of the hose?
The diameter of the hose is 1.5 inches (approximately 38mm).
Does the hose come with connectors?
The delivery contains 1 x Flat hose and 2 x Hose clamps. You will need to provide your own compatible 1.5-inch fittings to connect to your water source and devices.
Troubleshooting
Hose is not delivering water or flow is very low
Check that the hose is fully unrolled and not kinked or crushed. Ensure the connection to the water source is secure and the water supply is turned on. Verify that the hose diameter is compatible with your fittings.
Hose leaks at the connection point
Ensure the hose clamp is properly tightened around the fitting. Check if the fitting is correctly seated within the hose end. Inspect the hose end and fitting for any damage or debris that may be preventing a seal.
Hose appears stiff or difficult to unroll
Allow the hose to warm up to room temperature if it has been stored in a cold environment. Avoid forcing the hose; gentle uncoiling is recommended.
Hose shows signs of wear or damage (cuts, punctures)
Small punctures or cuts may be temporarily repaired with appropriate hose repair tape. For significant damage, it is recommended to replace the affected section or the entire hose for safety and performance.
