This will help prevent potential leaks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe careful not to drive over your hose. This can damage the hose and drastically reduce its life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf 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?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrain your hose when you’re not using it. Water left in a hose for extended periods of time can cause bacteria to form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce the hose is drained, the male and female ends can be connected for storage. Washer replacement is suggested annually or after a prolonged connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore the hose indoors when not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush your hose with water when put back in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarnings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not run hot water through your hose (unless your hose is rated for hot water).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not run liquids other than water through your hose as they are only designed for use with water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not leave the hose under pressure when not in use.
