How Do I Set Up My Hose?

 Set up your hose outside in temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure

maximum flexibility.

 Remove all packaging and ties.

 Check that the washer is properly seated in the coupling that attaches to the water

source.

 Unwind the hose loosely in a circular motion before attaching it to the water source.

 Run water through the hose until the water exiting the hose is cool.

 Leave the hose laid out straight and allow it to heat up during the day.

 Wind the hose back accordingly.

How Do I Care for My Hose?

 Disconnect your hose from any standard metal faucet/spigot/hose bib and metal

hose attachment and then reconnect at least twice per year to maintain a proper seal

of the washer.

 Before reconnecting, loosen any corrosion evident on the hose coupling, standard

metal faucet/spigot/hose bib and metal hose attachment caused by weather or

environmental elements, which can cause the hose to fuse to the faucet and/or

attachment.

 Always inspect the washer for proper placement and clear any buildup on the

washer, coupling or faucet. This will help prevent potential leaks.

 Never overtighten coupling connections. Normally, tightening the coupling

connections by hand is sufficient. Using a wrench to tighten the couplings might stop

a leak in the short-term; however, it can damage the washer, compromising it for

future connections.

 Do not pull and stretch the hose to reach a watering location beyond the length of

the hose. When the hose starts to pull off the ground, you put excess force on its

connections to the water source and any attachment such as a nozzle. This will not

only damage your hose, it can also damage the plumbing that feeds the water

source, as well as the attachment.

 Be careful not to drive over your hose. This can damage the hose and drastically

reduce its life.

 If your hose is left in a shady spot, its exterior can be cleaned periodically with a mild

soap-and-water solution to reduce the chance of organic growth. How Do I Store My

Hose?

 Drain your hose when you’re not using it. Water left in a hose for extended periods of

time can cause bacteria to form.

 Once the hose is drained, the male and female ends can be connected for storage.

Washer replacement is suggested annually or after a prolonged connection.

   When coiling the hose for storage, try to do so without leaving any kinks in the hose. A hose stored with kinks will most likely kink in these same locations very easily once the hose is put back in use. Prolonged kinks create weak spots in the hose. Store the hose indoors when not in use. Flush your hose with water when put back in use. Warnings     Do not run hot water through your hose (unless your hose is rated for hot water).
