FAQs

Is this hose suitable for hot water?

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

Can I leave this hose connected permanently?

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.

What is the inner diameter of the hose?

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

How do I clean the inside of the hose?

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.

Will this hose affect the taste of my water?

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.

What makes the hose kink-resistant?

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

What are the temperature limits for this hose?

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.

Troubleshooting

Hose is stiff and difficult to uncoil

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.

Reduced water flow

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.

Hose appears discolored or degraded

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

Slight taste or odor in water

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.

  • Durable 3-layer construction for extended lifespan.
  • Generous 60-meter length offers flexibility in placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Uncoil the hose completely before first use to remove any manufacturing coiling memory.
  2. Connect one end to the potable water source (e.g., tap at campsite, water pump outlet) and the other to your vehicle's water inlet.
  3. Ensure connections are secure to prevent leaks.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for standard 3/8" (10mm) water fittings common in RVs, caravans, boats, and marine applications.
  • Suitable for use with low-pressure potable water systems.

Care:

  • After each use, drain the hose thoroughly.
  • Store the hose loosely coiled in a dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Periodically flush the hose with a mild sanitizing solution (follow potable water system guidelines) and rinse thoroughly before storing or next use.
  • Avoid contact with abrasive chemicals or solvents.
