Product Information
Full details
The Flopro Professional 15m garden hose is designed for demanding gardening tasks, offering superior durability and ease of use thanks to its 6-layer reinforced construction. While it excels in resisting kinks and twists, its primary caveat is its professional-grade build might be more robust than needed for very light, occasional watering. Key features include its anti-kink, anti-twist, and crush-proof design, UV and algae resistance, ultra-flexibility, and universal fitting compatibility.

Troubleshooting
Water flow is weak or intermittent.
Check that the tap is fully open. Ensure there are no kinks or sharp bends in the hose. Inspect fittings for leaks and tighten if necessary. Clean any nozzle or sprinkler attachments for blockages.
Hose appears to be leaking at a connection point.
Ensure the fitting is securely attached to both the tap and the accessory. Check the washer inside the tap connector; replace if damaged or missing. Tighten the connection firmly but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the fitting.
Hose is stiff and difficult to maneuver.
Ensure the hose is within its operating temperature range (-20°C to +60°C). If stored in cold conditions, allow it to warm up. Check for any internal blockages or damage that might restrict water flow and flexibility.
Exterior shows signs of wear or cracking.
While resistant, extreme conditions or prolonged UV exposure without proper storage can accelerate wear. Ensure the hose is stored out of direct sunlight when not in use and coiled loosely. Check for sharp objects in the garden that might have caused abrasion.
