FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a wrench to tighten the fitting valves. Teflon tape may also be useful for sealing the threads.

These hoses are designed for cold water applications. Check the specifications of the water softener for temperature guidelines.

What is the lifespan of these hoses?

With proper care and maintenance, these hoses can last for several years. Regularly inspect for wear and tear.

Where can I purchase fitting valves?

Fitting valves are sold separately and can be purchased from most plumbing supply stores or online retailers.

What should I do if a hose bursts?

Immediately shut off the water supply and replace the damaged hose. Contact a professional if needed.

Can I use these hoses with a different brand of water softener?

Yes, these hoses are compatible with any water softener that uses 3/4" fittings.

Troubleshooting

Hoses are leaking at the connection points.

Ensure the fitting valves are properly installed and tightened. Check the washers for damage and replace if necessary. Make sure the connections are straight and not cross-threaded.

Water flow is restricted.

Check for kinks or bends in the hoses. Ensure there are no blockages in the fitting valves or water softener inlet/outlet.

The hoses do not fit the existing setup.

Verify that you have the correct fitting valves for your water softener and water supply. These hoses have 3/4" fittings; ensure your setup is compatible.
