FAQs
What is the working temperature range of this hose?
The hose is designed to operate effectively in temperatures from -10°C to +50°C.
What is the burst pressure of the Cellfast Economic hose?
The hose has a burst pressure of 20 bar.
Can this hose be used with a pressure washer?
This hose is intended for standard garden tap pressure. It is not designed for the high pressures typically associated with pressure washers.
How does the UV resistance benefit the hose?
UV resistance protects the hose material from degradation caused by exposure to sunlight, which helps to extend its lifespan and maintain its flexibility.
What does 'Economic' in the product name imply?
The 'Economic' designation typically suggests a reliable, standard-duty product that offers good value, focusing on essential features rather than advanced or specialized ones.
How should I store the hose during winter?
It is recommended to drain the hose completely and store it in a protected area, preferably indoors or away from direct sunlight and extreme cold, to prevent damage.
Is this hose suitable for drinking water?
While the hose is designed to prevent algae build-up, it is not specifically certified as food-grade or safe for direct drinking water consumption.
Troubleshooting
Hose leaks at connection point
Ensure the connector is securely tightened to the tap or accessory. Check the washer inside the connector for damage and replace if necessary.
Reduced water flow
Check the hose for kinks or sharp bends. Ensure the tap is fully open and there are no blockages at either end of the hose.
Hose appears stiff in cold weather
While designed for low temperatures, extreme cold can still affect flexibility. Allow the hose to warm slightly before attempting to uncoil or use it.
Outer layer damage (cuts or abrasions)
Minor abrasions may not affect performance, but significant cuts could lead to bursting. Patch small holes if possible, or consider replacing the affected section if a repair coupling is available.
