Troubleshooting
Hose won't attach securely to pump/accessory
Ensure the end-fittings are clean and correctly aligned. Check for any obstructions. If the hose has been cut, ensure the cut was clean and the fitting is reattached properly.
Reduced water flow through the hose
Check for kinks or sharp bends in the hose. Inspect the hose and fittings for any blockages or debris. Ensure the pump is functioning correctly and the filter is clean.
Hose appears stiff or brittle
This may indicate prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures. Store the hose properly in a shaded area when not in use. Consider replacing if significant degradation is observed.
Leak at the connection point
Ensure the hose is pushed fully onto the fitting and that any clamps (if applicable and separate) are secure. Check the condition of the end-fitting for damage.
