How to avoid hose breaks ?

In response to your question you would need to make a stronger liner on the hose. All I was doing was hooking it up to the water and moving around on my cement driveway with it to water the plants. I had purchased four hoses and one hose lasted two days the second hose lasted three days and I decided to return the all. It's a great idea but definitely needs some more work.

Well Mr. Horne, I really cannot say as I was using the hose under normal conditions. Specifically, I had the hose in the 'off' position to build up some pressure, which I had done 100 times before, and the hose suddenly broke. My outside spigot has what I would call normal water pressure; it's not overly strong. Wish I could help you here as I would love to buy another expandable myself, but have some obvious reservations about doing so at this time.

Heck I don't know, the hose is tough, if it wears out, I can't imagine, buy a new kit

Well i didnt have a problem but i do change hoses frequently cause if there not washable ( most of them arent) the do built some kind of dust from the charcoil and it tends to brake them or clogg them so you need to buy new ones and problem solve if you are willing to invest buy the washable ones there a lil pricier but u can rinse them and there way more durable

Place a zip tie around the hose and the connector and tighten it down to stop the leaks. Be sure the hose is all the way on before using the zip tie.

Basically it will cause the hose to break down faster if you run it this way all the time. I would definitely read the warranty or contact the manufacture.

You have to get a new hose. The one that can be detachable. Tonic hose would be great for it.

I have not had an issue with the hoses I have purchased. I am being careful not to yank them around or pull them across sharp edges.

Insert end of hose. tip should b on the end or in the pack to attach the end. a little vaseline, on the tip, helps.

I would lock it back up and try the side handles first slowly then the top ones. I would also make sure the top hose switch is disconnected.

Check hose connector. If hose is loosing pressure, at faucet or at any connection point, pressure will not build.

I bought a beer line cleaning kit and cleaned all the hoses and took everything apart. Be sure to put some keg lube on the tap to be sure not to pinch/kink the neoprene washers.

Yes you can, just loosen the hose stop and tighten where you want the hose to stop

I just have hose clamps holding mine. But then mine is easily accessible should the attachment fail. With that in mind if you use adhesive then to fix a break or hose tear you would have to get a new fixture. I would suggest using the hose clamps first.

I wish there was a way. I tried a couple of things, but because of the expandable "nature" of the tube and the outside covering I could not. I bought one Pocket hose and then a week later, but before the first one failed, I bought another. Unfortunately both started leaking at the ends. Then the Pocket Hose sprung a leak in the middle of the hose and I gave up trying to repair them. The hose is a wonderful concept that currently does not work. I have been looking at reviews for other brands of flexible hoses and they seem to be failing too. Too bad. By the way I bought another flexible hose for my sister in law and it has started to leak too. I wish there was a way.

Something I do is cut the water off and squirt the water out of the hose to relieve water pressure prior to returning hose into unit. I have 2 also and only one seems not to retract like it should and I believe there's a way to take it apart and make spring tension tighter. I've thought about doing that; but continue messing with it until the hose finally retracts which it always eventually does!

Hose. Do not put high pressure to this! I imagine the swivel end would explode...

More info needed. It could be hose thread or M22 and anything in between. What is the application? What are you connecting to and is it under pressure?
