Troubleshooting

Hose appears to be leaking

Check all connections for tightness. Inspect the hose for any visible punctures or tears. If damaged, discontinue use and replace the hose.

Reduced water flow

Ensure the hose is not kinked or excessively bent. Check for any obstructions within the hose or at the connection points. Verify that the water source pressure is adequate.

Hose is difficult to roll up

Make sure the hose is completely drained of water. Lay it flat to remove any remaining moisture before rolling. Avoid over-tightening when rolling to prevent premature wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to store and transport due to its lay-flat and foldable nature.
  • Lightweight design reduces physical strain during handling and setup.
  • Robust construction capable of handling significant pressure (8 bar working, 24 bar bursting).
  • Quick deployment saves time in time-sensitive operations.
  • Versatile for various industrial and agricultural fluid transfer tasks.

Cons

  • Working pressure of 8 bar may be insufficient for applications requiring higher pressures.
  • Potential for kinking if not handled or stored carefully when fully unrolled.
  • Lined construction may have specific fluid compatibility limitations to consider.
  • Requires a suitable pressure source and connection fittings (not included).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the hose is laid out on a clean, flat surface, free of sharp objects.
  2. Connect appropriate fittings securely to both ends of the hose.
  3. Connect the supply end to your water source or pump.
  4. Connect the discharge end to the desired delivery point.
  5. Gradually pressurize the hose to the desired working pressure (up to 8 bar).

Compatibility:

  • This hose is designed for water and other compatible fluids in industrial and agricultural settings. Always check material compatibility for specific chemicals or fluids.
  • Requires standard fittings that match the hose's diameter (e.g., 2-inch fittings).

Care:

  • After each use, drain the hose completely by laying it flat and allowing water to flow out.
  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary.
  • Store the hose rolled up in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals.
