Drinking Water Hose Pipe - Blue - 10mm - 60 Metres

This hose is designed for cold potable water. It is not rated for hot water use.

While durable, it's recommended to drain and store the hose when not in use to prolong its lifespan and maintain hygiene, especially when exposed to varying weather conditions.

The inner diameter is 10mm, which is equivalent to 3/8 inches.

After draining, you can flush the hose with fresh water. For deeper cleaning, use a food-grade sanitizing solution recommended for potable water systems, followed by a thorough rinse.

As a food-grade, non-toxic hose, it is designed not to impart any taste. However, as with any water hose, it's good practice to flush it before first use and periodically to ensure optimal taste.

The hose features a polyester spiral braid in its construction, which helps to minimize twisting and kinking, ensuring a consistent water flow.

The product description does not specify exact temperature limits. It is best used with cold potable water and stored away from extreme heat or cold to maintain flexibility and durability.

Allow the hose to warm up in ambient temperature. Do not force stiffness, as this can damage the material. Store in a warmer location if needed.

Check both ends for secure, but not overly tight, connections. Ensure the hose is not kinked or twisted. Inspect the inner layer for any debris or blockages. Flush the hose if necessary.

This may indicate prolonged exposure to UV light or extreme temperatures. Inspect for leaks and consider replacement if integrity is compromised.

Flush the hose thoroughly with fresh water. If the issue persists, perform a mild sanitization flush using a food-grade solution approved for potable water systems, followed by a thorough rinse.
