FAQs
What is the primary use for this layflat hose?
This hose is designed for the delivery (outlet) side of water pumps to efficiently transport water away from the pump to a desired drainage location. It's ideal for applications like draining flooded areas, ponds, or construction sites.
Can I use this hose for suction applications?
No, this layflat hose is specifically designed for discharge applications only and is not suitable for use on the suction side of a pump.
What material is the hose made from?
The hose is constructed from durable PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) material, which provides flexibility and longevity.
How should I store the hose when not in use?
The layflat design allows for easy storage. Simply coil the hose neatly and store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan.
What does 1 1/4" (32mm) refer to?
This refers to the internal diameter (bore) of the hose, which is 1 and 1/4 inches or approximately 32 millimeters. This size is compatible with many standard water pump outlets.
Is this hose suitable for high-pressure applications?
While durable, this hose is designed for typical water pump pressures. It is not rated for extremely high-pressure industrial use and should be used within the recommended operating parameters of your water pump.
How do I clean the hose?
After use, flush the hose with clean water to remove any sediment or debris. Allow it to dry thoroughly before coiling for storage. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Hose is difficult to connect to the pump.
Ensure the pump's outlet port and the hose's connector are clean and free of debris. Gently warm the hose end in warm water to make it more pliable for a secure fit. Verify the pump outlet size matches the hose diameter.
Reduced water flow from the hose.
Check for any kinks or sharp bends in the hose. Ensure the pump's inlet is not blocked and the pump is functioning correctly. Verify the hose is not obstructed at the discharge end.
Hose appears to be leaking.
Inspect the connection point at the pump for a secure fit and consider using a hose clamp. Examine the entire length of the hose for any visible punctures or cracks. If damage is found, the hose may need to be replaced.
Hose is stiff and hard to unroll.
If stored in cold conditions, allow the hose to warm up to room temperature. Laying it out in sunlight briefly can also help improve flexibility.

Extended exposure to extreme UV or heat could potentially degrade PVC over time.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your water pump is compatible with a 1 1/4" (32mm) outlet connection.
Securely attach one end of the hose to the pump's discharge port. Use appropriate hose clamps if necessary to ensure a tight seal.
Lay out the hose to your desired drainage point, avoiding sharp bends or kinks that could restrict flow.
Position the pump and hose carefully to prevent the inlet from becoming blocked.
Compatibility:
This hose is designed for the delivery/outlet side of submersible, surface-mounted, and centrifugal water pumps.
It is not intended for use on the suction/inlet side of a pump.
Confirm your pump's discharge port size matches the hose's 1 1/4" (32mm) diameter.
Care:
After each use, flush the hose with clean water to remove any debris.
Store the hose flat and away from direct, prolonged sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Inspect the hose periodically for any signs of damage, such as cracks or abrasions.
