FAQs
Can I use this hose for drinking water?
Yes, it complies with EU Regulation 10/2011 for food contact materials, making it safer than standard hoses for this purpose.
Does this hose kink?
It features an advanced anti-twist system specifically engineered to prevent kinking, though extreme bending beyond the hose's radius may still cause temporary restrictions.
Can I leave this hose outside in winter?
While the material is rated for temperatures as low as -20°C, it is best practice to drain all water from the hose and store it indoors or in a shed during winter months to extend its lifespan.
What is the maximum pressure this hose can handle?
The hose is rated for a burst pressure of up to 25 bar.
Is the hose heavy?
Due to its 4-layer professional construction, it is heavier than typical thin-walled garden hoses, which provides better durability.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is reduced despite the faucet being fully open
Check for obstructions at the nozzle end and ensure there are no heavy items resting on the hose line.
Hose is becoming stiff
If the ambient temperature is extremely low, allow the hose to sit in a warmer environment for several hours to regain its natural flexibility.
Leakage at the connection point
Check if the rubber washer inside the connector is worn or missing, and ensure the hose is firmly threaded onto the spigot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, use high-quality brass or reinforced plastic connectors compatible with standard garden hose fittings. When setting up for the first time, allow the hose to sit in the sun for an hour to remove any packaging-related rigidity.
Care instructions include:
- Always drain the hose after use, especially before winter, to prevent internal damage.
- Coil the hose using a reel or a wide loop to maintain its shape.
- Keep the exterior clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth if it encounters heavy mud or chemicals.
- Avoid dragging the hose over sharp concrete edges or abrasive masonry whenever possible.
