FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the Ultraflex technology?

The Ultraflex technology incorporates anti-knit and anti-twist layers, significantly reducing the likelihood of kinks and ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted flow of water.

Can this hose be used in freezing temperatures?

Yes, the hose is frost resistant and can be used in temperatures down to -15°C. However, it is recommended to drain the hose before prolonged periods of freezing to prevent damage and extend its lifespan.

Is this hose suitable for drinking water?

While made from durable PVC, this garden hose is not specifically certified for potable water use. It is intended for general garden watering, cleaning, and irrigation purposes.

How do I clean the Tricoflex Ultraflex hose?

You can clean the hose by wiping it down with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and allow it to dry completely before storing.

What is the diameter of the hose?

The Tricoflex Ultraflex hose has a diameter of 12.5mm.

How is this hose eco-friendly?

The hose is made with up to 70% recycled PVC, making it a more sustainable choice compared to hoses made entirely from virgin materials.

What is the maximum temperature the hose can withstand?

The hose is designed to perform in temperatures up to 60°C.

Troubleshooting

Hose is not delivering water.

Ensure the tap is fully turned on and the hose is securely connected at both ends. Check for any visible kinks or blockages within the hose or at the connectors.

Water pressure seems low.

Verify that there are no kinks in the hose. Ensure the tap is fully open and that any attached accessories (like spray nozzles) are not set to a very low flow setting or are blocked.

Hose is stiff in cold weather.

This is normal for most hoses. Allow the hose to warm up slightly if possible, or carefully uncoil it. Avoid forcing it if it feels excessively rigid in very low temperatures.

Connectors are leaking.

Check that the hose is securely attached to the tap connector and any accessory. Ensure the washer inside the connector is present and in good condition. Tighten connections if necessary, but do not overtighten.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistently delivers kink-free watering.
  • Durable and resistant to harsh weather conditions.
  • Easy to handle, move, and store due to its flexibility.
  • Promotes efficient water flow.
  • Made with a significant amount of recycled material.

Cons

  • May require careful storage to maintain optimal flexibility in extreme temperatures.
  • The 12.5mm diameter might be less suitable for high-flow irrigation systems requiring larger diameters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect one end of the hose to your outdoor tap, ensuring a secure fit. If using with accessories like sprinklers or spray guns, attach them to the other end. The Ultraflex hose is designed to fit standard Hozelock connectors for quick and easy attachment.

Compatibility: This hose is compatible with standard garden taps and accessories, particularly those adhering to the Hozelock system specifications.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Drain after use: Especially before freezing temperatures.
  2. Store properly: Coil loosely and store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
  3. Avoid dragging: While durable, dragging the hose over rough surfaces can cause wear.
  4. Clean periodically: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
