How to maintain a pressure washer hose

There are several ways to maintain a pressure washer hose and extend its life:

1. Store the hose properly: When not in use, store the hose in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent it from cracking or becoming brittle.
2. Avoid kinking: Kinking the hose can cause damage to the inner lining, so be careful not to kink the hose when using it or when storing it.
3. Use a hose protector: A hose protector can help protect the hose from damage caused by dragging it across rough surfaces or running over it with heavy equipment.
4. Clean the hose: After each use, flush the hose with clean water to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated inside.
5. Inspect the hose regularly: Regularly inspect the hose for signs of wear and tear, such as cuts, abrasions, or leaks. If you notice any damage, replace the hose immediately to prevent further damage.
6. Avoid high temperature: Keep the hose away from high temperatures, it can cause the hose material to degrade, or even melting. Also, be sure to use the pressure washer in the appropriate range of temperatures to avoid these issues.
7. Avoid over pressurizing: Using an overly high pressure or using a hose that isn't rated for the pressure being used can damage the hose. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the maximum pressure and flow rate.

By taking these steps, you can help extend the life of your pressure washer hose and ensure that it continues to function properly. Shop www.watercannon.com for a full range of pressure washer hose assembly options.
