Can this hose be used with a pressure washer?
Yes, the hose can be used with a pressure washer, provided you use the correct adapter to connect it to the pressure washer's inlet.
Is the hose UV resistant?
While the abrasion-resistant PVC outer layer provides durability, it's recommended to store the hose away from prolonged direct sunlight to maximize its lifespan and prevent potential UV degradation over time.
How should I store the hose during winter?
To prevent damage from freezing, ensure the hose is completely drained of water before storing. Store it in a dry place, ideally coiled loosely, away from extreme temperatures.
What material is the hose made from?

Does the hose come with connectors?

Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the connection point
Ensure the tap connector and hose end connector are securely tightened. Check if the rubber washer is present and in good condition within the connector. Replace the washer if it is worn or missing.
Reduced water flow
Check for kinks or sharp bends in the hose. Inspect the tap, connectors, and any attached accessories for blockages. Ensure the tap is fully open.
Hose is stiff and difficult to handle
Ensure the hose has been fully drained and stored appropriately. Extreme cold can temporarily stiffen the material; allow it to warm up before use. Check for any damage to the outer layer.
Hose appears to be swelling or bulging
This may indicate internal damage or that the water pressure exceeds the hose's rating. Discontinue use immediately and replace the hose if it shows signs of significant swelling.
