FAQs

What is the main advantage of a layflat hose?

The main advantage is its ability to lie flat when not in use, making it significantly easier to store, handle, and deploy compared to traditional rigid hoses.

Can this hose be used for suction?

No, this hose is designed specifically for the outlet (delivery) side of water pumps. It is not intended for suction applications.

How should I store the hose when not in use?

Drain the hose completely and store it rolled up in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan.

What types of pumps is this hose compatible with?

It is compatible with submersible, surface-mounted, and centrifugal water pumps that have a 1-inch (25mm) discharge outlet.

How long is the hose?

The hose is supplied in convenient 10-metre lengths.

Can I connect multiple hoses together?

While not explicitly designed for it, you could potentially connect multiple hoses using appropriate fittings, but this may affect performance and is not the intended use.

What is the maximum pressure this hose can handle?

This hose is designed for general water delivery and is not rated for high-pressure applications. Always refer to your pump's specifications for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Hose not delivering water

Check that the pump is operational, the hose is fully connected and not kinked, and that the pump's intake is clear.

Hose appears to be collapsing under pressure

Ensure the hose is fully unrolled and free of obstructions. This hose is designed for discharge, not suction, and may require support if used in a way that creates vacuum.

Hose is difficult to connect to pump

Verify the pump outlet is indeed 1" (25mm). Ensure the hose end is clean and free of debris. Gentle warming of the hose end in warm water may help flexibility for connection.

Hose shows signs of wear or leakage

Inspect for punctures or cuts. Small leaks may be temporarily patched, but significant damage requires hose replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to handle and transport due to its lightweight nature.
  • Simple and efficient storage solution, taking up minimal space.
  • Flexible design allows for easier routing around obstacles.
  • Provided in practical lengths for common water transfer tasks.
  • Cost-effective solution for temporary or frequent water discharge needs.

Cons

  • The 1" (25mm) bore size is specific and may not fit all pump adaptors.
  • Not intended for high-pressure applications.
  • May be susceptible to damage from sharp objects if not handled with care.
  • Extended exposure to UV light may degrade material over time.
  • Requires securing to prevent movement when fully pressurized.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pump's outlet connection matches the 1" (25mm) diameter of the hose.
  2. Securely attach the hose to the pump outlet using an appropriate clamp if necessary for your pump fitting.
  3. Lay the hose out to its full length, avoiding sharp kinks or twists.
  4. Connect the other end to your desired discharge point.

Compatibility:

This hose is designed for the outlet (delivery) side of submersible, surface-mounted, and centrifugal water pumps with a 1" (25mm) discharge port. It is not designed for suction (inlet) use.

Care:

  • After each use, drain the hose completely.
  • Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Inspect the hose regularly for any signs of wear, cracks, or punctures.
  • Clean with mild soap and water if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals.
