Everything You Need to Know About Extending Hoses

Hoses make our lives easier when it comes to watering the garden, farming and even small cleaning jobs around the house. But traditional hoses can often be heavy, bulky and difficult to store. They can stiffen and lose mobility in cold weather and burst with heat and pressure in the heat. Extending hoses offer the perfect solution to these problems. Lightweight, flexible and compact, they are an ideal option, especially for people with small storage spaces.

In this article, we'll look at how extending hoses work, their advantages, tips for choosing the right hose and maintenance tips to make your hose last longer.

What is an Extending Hose and How Does It Work?

Extending hoses are specially designed hoses that increase in size with water pressure and return to their original size when the water is turned off. They are usually made of a flexible material such as latex on the inside and a durable textile layer on the outside. This makes the hose lightweight, portable and durable. The hose expands when the water pressure is turned on, increasing its length by 3 times. When the water is turned off after use, it automatically returns to its original size.

Advantages of Extending Hoses

Easy to carry and store, extending hoses make garden maintenance more practical. Here are the main advantages of these hoses:

• Easy to Use: The hose expands when the water pressure is turned on, allowing you to easily reach your entire garden. It is very practical compared to the heavy and tangle-prone structure of traditional hoses.

• Lightness and Flexibility: Extending hoses are much lighter than conventional hoses. This makes them easier to transport and use.

• Compact Storage: These hoses shrink when the water is turned off, saving a lot of storage space. They can be conveniently stored in a small box, hook or hanger.

• Resilience Made of quality materials, the extending hoses are resistant to abrasion, UV radiation and cracking.

• Saving Time: Minimizing tangling and knotting problems, these hoses make watering faster and easier.

How to Choose the Right Extending Hose?

To choose the best extending hose for your garden and your needs, you need to pay attention to some important factors.

• Length Extending hoses are sold in lengths of 15, 30 and 45 meters. The length of the hose should be chosen according to the size of your garden. Just as you should not buy short hoses, long hoses can cause you to exert unnecessary effort. You should determine the length with reference to the furthest distance to your faucet. While 15-20 meters is sufficient for small gardens, 30 meters or longer hoses may be preferred for larger areas.

• Material Quality: Extending hoses are usually made of latex on the inside and durable textile materials on the outside. The latex provides high resistance to water pressure, while the UV protection on the outer coating extends the life of the hose.

• Connection Elements: It is important that the fittings that connect the hose to the faucet are robust and leak-proof. Brass or stainless steel fittings are more durable than plastic ones.

• Compressive Strength: The hose must be resistant to water pressure. The hose you choose must be capable of withstanding the maximum water pressure.

• Brand and Reliability: Quality and well-known brands offer products with long life and high performance.

Do not connect any hose directly to the kitchen or bathroom faucet. Faucets can be damaged by the weight of the hose and start leaking at the connection points. If you do not have a conventional faucet to connect the hose to, you can get support from our consultants.

Maintenance of Elongated Hoses

With regular maintenance and proper use, extension hoses can be used reliably for many years. Here are some suggestions for extending the life of your hose:

• Discharge After Use: Drain the water completely after using the hose. The water remaining inside may impair the flexible structure of the hose.

• Protection from Sunlight: Do not expose your hose to direct sunlight. UV rays can damage the outer coating of the hose and reduce its durability.

• Proper Storage: Store the hose in a shady and cool place. You can use wall-mounted hose racks or special storage boxes.

• Avoid Pointed and Sharp Surfaces: Avoid dragging the hose on sharp or pointed surfaces. This can abrade the outer layer of the hose.

• Check Connections: Regularly check the rubber seals at the hose connection points and replace them as necessary. This prevents damage to the hose and water leakage.

In Which Areas Are Extending Hoses Used?

Extending hoses can be used in many different areas, not just garden maintenance:

Garden Irrigation: Ideal for flower beds, lawns and vegetable gardens.

Vehicle Wash: With its lightweight structure, it is easily moved around the vehicles.
