Full details
This VidaXL white fire hose is designed for efficient water transport, particularly for high-pressure applications, making it suitable for domestic and commercial use. Its key benefit lies in its durable construction and smooth internal lining for unrestricted flow.

FAQs
What is the maximum water pressure this hose can handle?
The hose has a working pressure of 8 bar and a burst pressure of 24 bar. It is designed for high-pressure water transport within these limits.
Can this hose be used with a pressure washer?
While the hose can handle high pressure, it is not specifically designed as a pressure washer hose. Its intended use is for general water transport. Always check the requirements of your pressure washer.
Is this hose suitable for drinking water?
This hose is made of PVC and polyester and is not rated for potable water. It should not be used for drinking water applications.
How do I attach this hose to my tap or pump?
You will need a compatible fitting for your tap or pump that matches the 3-inch diameter. Use the provided hose clamps to secure the connection firmly.
What is included in the delivery?
The delivery contains one 30-meter white fire hose and two hose clamps.
How should I store the hose during winter?
It is best to drain the hose completely and store it indoors in a dry, cool place. This prevents water from freezing inside and damaging the material.
Can I cut the hose to a shorter length?
While you can cut the hose, doing so will expose the internal reinforcement and may require specialized fittings to re-secure the end. It is generally recommended to use the full length provided or purchase a different size if needed.
Troubleshooting
Hose is not delivering water at expected pressure.
Check for kinks or blockages within the hose. Ensure the water source is providing adequate pressure and that all connections are secure and leak-free.
Hose leaks at connection point.
Tighten the hose clamp securely. Ensure the fitting on the water source or extension is compatible and free from debris. Check the hose end for damage.
Hose appears to be degrading or cracking.
This may be due to prolonged exposure to UV light or harsh chemicals. Store the hose properly in a shaded area and avoid contact with chemicals. Inspect for damage and replace if necessary.
Hose is difficult to coil or remains stiff.
Ensure the hose is fully drained and has been stored appropriately. Extreme cold can make the material temporarily stiffer; allow it to warm up indoors before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The 3-inch (76 mm) diameter is a standard size suitable for many water pumps and connectors. Always verify the compatibility of your existing fittings before purchase.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- After each use, drain the hose completely to prevent water stagnation and freezing.
- Store the hose coiled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals.

- Avoid dragging the hose over abrasive surfaces.
- Clean the exterior with a damp cloth as needed.
