Product Information
Full details
This 30-meter, 3-inch VidaXL fire hose is designed for general water transport needs, particularly for use with water pumps in non-professional settings. Its key benefit is reliable water flow thanks to a smooth PVC lining and durable construction. A significant caveat is that this hose is not intended for professional firefighting or fixed firefighting systems. It features weather-resistant materials, robust aluminum alloy couplings, and a flat design for easy storage.

Troubleshooting
Hose is not delivering sufficient water flow.
Check for kinks or bends in the hose. Ensure the water pump is functioning correctly and has adequate suction. Verify that the Storz couplings are fully secured and not leaking. Clean the internal lining if debris is suspected.
Couplings are difficult to connect or disconnect.
Inspect the Storz couplings for dirt, debris, or damage. Clean them thoroughly. Ensure you are aligning the locking mechanism correctly during connection and pressing the release tabs during disconnection.
Hose appears to be leaking.
Examine the hose for any visible punctures or tears. Check the integrity of the Storz couplings and their seals. If a leak is detected in the hose body, it may require repair or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unroll the hose to its full length.
