Troubleshooting
Hose not expanding fully
Ensure water pressure is adequate. Check for any kinks or blockages in the hose or at the tap connection. Ensure all connectors are securely fitted.
Hose leaking at connector
Check that the connector is securely attached to the tap or accessory. Inspect the washer inside the connector for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the Aquastop mechanism is not obstructed.
Hose not shrinking completely
Ensure all water has been drained from the hose. Check for internal blockages or damage that might prevent full contraction. Store in a cool, dry place and allow it to rest.
Kinking still occurs
While designed to be anti-kink, severe twists can still happen. Untwist the hose manually. Avoid forcing it around tight corners.
