Troubleshooting
Hose not expanding fully
Ensure the water tap is fully open and water pressure is adequate. Check for any kinks or blockages in the hose.
Hose retracting too quickly
Make sure all water has been drained from the hose before it attempts to retract. Ensure the water stop feature on the connector is functioning correctly.
Leaking at the connector
Check that the hose connector is securely attached to the tap and the accessory. Inspect the washer inside the connector for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Hose appears damaged or has a hole
Inspect the hose for visible tears or punctures. Due to its durable construction, this is rare, but if damage occurs, the affected section may need repair or replacement.
