Troubleshooting
Hose kinks easily.
Ensure the hose is not twisted when uncoiling. Try to lay it out in a straight line as much as possible and avoid sharp bends. Gentle manipulation usually resolves minor kinks.
Water flow is weak.
Check that the tap is fully open and that the hose is not kinked or obstructed. Ensure the connection to the tap is secure and not leaking. If using a spray gun, check its settings.
Hose appears brittle or cracked.
This could be due to prolonged exposure to UV rays or extreme cold. Ensure the hose is stored correctly when not in use, ideally out of direct sunlight and in a frost-free location during winter.
Connector is leaking at the tap.
Check that the tap connector is securely tightened onto the tap. Inspect the rubber washer inside the connector for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
