Troubleshooting
Hose is not delivering water
Check that the tap is fully turned on. Ensure all connections (tap, hose, and nozzle) are secure and free from leaks. Verify that the quick couplers are properly engaged.
Reduced water flow
Check for kinks or twists in the hose and straighten them. Inspect the nozzle and fittings for any blockages. Ensure the tap is providing adequate water pressure.
Leak at the connection point
Ensure the tap connector is securely tightened onto the tap. Check the rubber washer inside the tap connector or quick coupler for damage and replace if necessary. Reconnect the hose firmly.
Hose appears stiff in cold weather
This is normal for PVC in low temperatures. Allow the hose to warm up slightly before attempting to use or coil it to avoid potential damage.
