Troubleshooting

Hose is not laying flat

Ensure the hose is fully unrolled and free of tight kinks. Allow it to warm slightly in the sun if it's very stiff from cold.

Reduced water flow

Check for blockages inside the hose, kinks, or ensure the pump is operating correctly and within its capacity. Verify fittings are not restricting flow.

Leaking at connection point

Ensure the connection to the pump or fitting is tight and secure. Check the condition of any seals or washers. Use appropriate hose clamps if necessary.

Hose appears to be degrading or cracking

This may indicate prolonged exposure to UV light or harsh chemicals. Discontinue use if the material integrity is compromised and replace the hose.
