The hose has a diameter of 1 inch (25 mm) and a length of 30 meters.
How should I clean the hose?

What maintenance is required?
Regularly drain the hose after use, inspect for damage, and store it properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at a connection
Ensure the hose clamp is tightened securely around the fitting. Check that the fitting is properly seated and that there are no obstructions preventing a tight seal. Inspect the fitting and hose end for damage.
Water flow is restricted or weak
Fully uncoil the hose and check for kinks or sharp bends. Ensure the water source is turned on to full pressure. Verify that the hose diameter is appropriate for the nozzle or fitting being used. Clean any debris from the hose inlet.
Hose appears to be weakening or cracking
Inspect the hose for signs of UV damage or exposure to harsh chemicals. Store the hose properly when not in use, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If damage is significant, consider replacing the hose.
Hose is difficult to roll or store
Ensure the hose is completely drained of water. Roll the hose loosely to avoid creating permanent kinks. Store in a location where it can lay relatively flat or be coiled without excessive stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
