Troubleshooting
Hose leaks at connection point
Ensure the hose clamp is tightened securely around the connector and the hose. Check that the connector is properly seated and that the hose end is not damaged.
Reduced water flow
Verify that the hose is not kinked or crushed. Check for any internal blockages or debris. Ensure the water source pressure is adequate and within the hose's working limits.
Hose is difficult to roll or store
Ensure the hose is completely drained of water before rolling. Roll it loosely to prevent permanent creases that can affect flexibility.
Hose appears brittle or stiff
This can occur in very cold temperatures. Allow the hose to warm up before attempting to use or store it. Prolonged exposure to UV light can also degrade material; store in a protected area.
