FAQs
What makes the ATS2 system beneficial?
The ATS2 (Anti-Twist System 2) is designed to prevent the hose from twisting and kinking, ensuring a consistent and uninterrupted flow of water, which makes watering more efficient and less frustrating.
Is this hose safe for watering fruits and vegetables?
Yes, the inner layer of the Cellfast Garden Hose Hobby ATS2 is made from materials safe for contact with food, making it suitable for watering edible plants and vegetables.
What is the maximum water pressure this hose can handle?
The hose has a tear strength of 30 BAR, indicating it can withstand significant water pressure. However, always ensure your faucet's pressure does not exceed safe operational limits for hoses.
Can I use this hose in very cold or hot weather?
The hose is designed to operate in a wide temperature range, from -20°C to +60°C, making it suitable for use in most typical weather conditions.
Does the hose come with any attachments like a spray gun?
No, the spray gun is not included with this hose. You will need to purchase a compatible spray gun or other watering accessories separately.
How should I store the hose to maximize its lifespan?
It's best to drain the hose completely before storing it, especially before winter. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Coiling it loosely on a hose reel or hanger is recommended.
What are the benefits of the 6-layer construction?
The 6-layer construction, featuring double braid cross and tricot fabric, provides enhanced durability, flexibility, and resistance to wear and tear, contributing to the hose's overall longevity and performance.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is weak or intermittent.
Check for kinks or bends in the hose, especially with the Anti-Twist System (ATS2). Ensure the faucet is fully open and the connection to the faucet is secure. Inspect the nozzle or sprinkler for blockages.
Hose leaks at the connection point.
Ensure the coupling is tightened securely to the faucet and the accessory. Check the washer inside the faucet connector for damage and replace if necessary.
Hose appears to be degrading or cracking.
While UV and weather-resistant, prolonged extreme exposure can impact durability. Ensure the hose is stored properly when not in use and check for any damage that might have occurred during use.
The hose is stiff in cold weather.
The hose is rated for use down to -20°C, but extreme cold can affect flexibility. Allow the hose to warm up slightly before attempting to deploy or use it for extended periods.
