does anyone know if the hose is detatchable?

yes you will have to pul hard to do so, there is no quick disconnect on this

It doesn't look like it -- it's not obvious how to detach the air hose. It's the one thing about this pump I don't like.

Hi-We have not had a problem with ours. When extended, at any length, pull on the hose and slowly release and it should retract easily. I hold a little pack pressure and the hose winds in and lines up beautifully.NEROS

The Tuff Guard is not retractable even though it may appear that way. Hose gets an A+ for me. Brass fittings B- since at least one has leaked. I tried to contact the company to no avail so that takes the hose score down a little further. Good luck!

The tank is detachable. Unfortunately, the unit only lasted 6 months before completely dying.

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!

Yes you could, BUT it busted yesterday. I think these hoses are doomed. This hose was my last one to purchase, unless they make significant improvements.

Yes, there are quick disconnect's on the hoses. It is very easy to use and clean.

If left to its own, it will recoil---but perhaps not all the way back. I have a post with a simple hook onit for the Nozzle where I hook it and know where it is always is going to be. One must have a shutoffvalve near the nozzle as well as the main supply as you should not keep the hose full of water whennot in use.

I haven't used a hose. I empty by hand. Try disconnecting the hose and then running it. That's one way to narrow down the problem. If its acting normally then, I would reconnect the hose and try running it again. Hope that helps.

Yes, the hose keeps tugging back when your pulling it out. you have to hold it while vacuuming. not fun

The hose can detach , but the air doesn't blow nearly as hard as my luminess . The liquid airbrush makeup you use with a dropper i doubt would work with this.

Note that if the hose comes detached from an end connector, you may be able to twist the hose right back on like you thread a screw. If you have an otherwise damaged hose (cut, torn, crimped) then you can ignore this answer.

Not that I can see. But that is not your main worry, it is the cheap plastic couplings attached to each end. They leak continuously, don't fit into standard gauge faucets of nozzles without lots of leakage and are easily cracked. Once you do get them on the are impossible to remove and if you attempt to use a tool to remove them they break. I have not had hose leakage issues as of yet but given the unique construction of the hose body I would not know how to repair a hose leak. Be advised, the quality of production here is on the level of a carnival prize.

this has not happened to me....as far as the attachment hose -- i just disassembled it and used it with half still attached to the vacumn -- when vacuming under couch cushions.

It's a plastic hose. I wouldn't think that the hose would collapse during vacuuming air out.

The end where you connect the air hose could be an automotive or household style quick disconnect. Just go to your local hardware store and buy the other style.
