How You Can Select A Very Good Water Hose
What separates a motorhome water filters hose from the cheap junk so often within the big box discount stores? Below are a few of the features to consider in a quality hose that will give you years of good service.
Drinking water Safe:? Drinking water safe? just isn't a complete designation since all hoses release some small amounts of chemicals. PVC and synthetic rubber hoses release small amounts of toxic or known carcinogenic compounds into the water and therefore are not generally considered normal water safe. Ether-based Polyurethane is the better choice for drinking water safe hose construction since it releases very little when it comes to harmful materials.
Quality Construction: Look for brass fittings. Brass has the unique power to form water-tight brass-to-brass connections. The other advantage of brass is its great resistance to corrosion. Another sign of a superior hose is the use of high-density rubberized hose kink guards on both ends of the hose to eliminate any possibility of the hose collapsing or kinking to a closed position when pulled taunt from the faucet.
Durability: In accordance with data compiled from lab testing results supplied by plastic tubing manufacturers and chemical compound manufacturers such as Dow Chemical, BF Goodrich among others, this is my best guess regarding the life expectancy you can find from hoses made of these different materials.
PVC hose (these are usually the least expensive hoses)? about 12 months.
Cheaper Polyurethane compounds (doesn? t say? ether?)? about 3? {5} years.
High quality multi-layer Rubber? about {5}? ten years.
Ether-based Polyurethane? about {5}? 10 years.
Hose Style: Most hoses are of the straight variety. Straight hoses reach for their full length but would be the hardest to store. Straight hoses could be stored on a hose reel, but it is difficult to muscle them off and on the reel. If you want to use a reel, a Polyurethane hose is your most suitable choice since they will be lighter and more flexible. Coiled hoses are easier to retract back into their coil shape for a smaller sized storage. Cheaper coiled hoses often lose the coil memory and twist and kink into a tangled mess. There exists a hybrid form of coil hose which retracts back to an extremely compact flat stack and is an excellent choice if you need the hose to stow right into a small space.
Care and Maintenance: With proper care and maintenance you can greatly extend the life span of one's hose. Even with the best UV resistant hoses, long term sun exposure is the foremost threat to long hose life. If at all possible, store your hoses from the sun when not used. If you live where the winters are cold, you need to drain your hose before storage so the hose material doesn? t crack due to the expansion of ice.
With your guidelines and advice at heart, you should be able to look for a hose that meets your requirements and will give you many, many years of good service.
