One reviewer talked about having to put the hose together for each use? Can anyone tell me if that is really the case, and if so why?

Is a multi part hose system. When received all you have to do is attached them together end to end. It simple enough. Also of being this way adjustment of length is possible.

You have to make sure all the air is out of the hose for it to work properly, so if you disconnect it, you'll probably have to pull the sections of the hose apart to ensure there is NO air in them. If I'm doing this by myself, the easiest way is from in the pool, keeping the hose ends under water. If you have help, it's possible to do it from outside of the pool.

The hose is in 2 ft sections...you could probably store it put together, but then the hose lengths wouldn't be straight anymore.

You probably don't have to put it together every time. In order for thevac to get it to vac more in the center of the pool you have to take a section off at a time and let it vac some and keep doing the process in order to get the whole pool vacuumed..I think the vac does a good job but I think the hose process is a bummer. And don't bother buying a new hose that is just a really long hose and no sections cause it wont work. It just collapses. Hope this helps

It works the same way. Even the hoses and coneections are mostly interchangeable. It just isn't as durable.

no need to buy a hose as they are attached to the head. I put a small fork on the end that goes into the bucket as an anchor to hold it down. when it comes it is coiled and tends to stay that way, but with an anchor it stays on the bottom of the bucket. This is a wonderful self watering device and I use mine all the time. When I travel it becomes my life line for my houseplants.

for some reason some people, including myself are having this issue... i was able to get the hoses in and out after taking the faucet apart and using a pen to manuever the end through. however, everything is so tight that i am unable to retract the hose and use the faucet as a handheld spray. really is a terrible design i am astonished how bad it is. i am not looking forward to replacing this hose which is inevitable happen again in the next few years.

Yes- I took all of the hoses apart, cleaned everything, put it back together, and it never happened again. I hope that helps!

Hi Richard. Yes I only bought one of these hoses, but after the third use it came apart at the fitting that attaches to the water spigot. Was not impressed with it. When I have that kind of a failure soon after purchase I don't try it again. I won't purchase another. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

I cannot recommend this hose. I got one last summer and loved it....... because it never crimped off. Crimped hoses are a pet peeve of mine. But now I've found it has sprung a leak just under the edge of one of the end connectors. This hose has not been abused in any way! Now I'm on a hunt, as I see several others are, to figure out how to repair it. Most hoses you can simply cut the end off and put a replacement end on. But this hose has this wire in its walls. If anyone knows how to repair it, please post.

comes assembled- best one I have ever owned! Make sure fittings are tightened prior to each use! Been using mine for 6 months with no problems. good luck!

It has been over two years that I have mine; in regular once per week use. The original hose is still intact and in use (many complain it breaks; not mine). Have had no complaints so far.

I bought this hose last summer and so far have not had a problem. However, I don't use my hose too often and after seeing other responses, I am concerned. I also paid $50.00 for my hose and I like it because it never kinked. The company should have replied to your complaint and this makes me feel that this is not a good product.

a very similar thing happened to me, I did not feel that it was worth the bother to send it back. we had ours for 3 days, and it burst. I cant give you an answer for them. I would not want another one. the first one was enough for me! I wonder if the technology on this type of hose is ready for the market.

No. Seems like your basic hose set-up. Have not used yet. Hoping to do some diving this weekend. Seems like a good set for the $.

yes. i did find that not using the hose attached could be a little ackward.

There is a connector that is installed so that the hose can be connected/disconnected when needed. Very simple and has worked great for me!

I have used in many times and I never had a issue with it being unstable, make sure that you take pump out when heating, and you don't fill it with water, you need room for the pump and air space, I take it off the burner to pump and use the hot water. Your hose will fit if it has the proper adapter

You have to have a hose with a removable tip. Otherwise you'll have to tape it on there. I did that a few times but it is annoying to do. Some options are the Nogoom, Nammor, and certain Khalil Mamoon hoses.

I know had trouble too. Had to look at the pics and use directions. The ones I had trouble with in the end were the hoses, because they were pkgd with the frame I thought they went with it at first. Use the directions for the bottom of the frame, use common sense with most of the rest, just remember the curved ones go in front and the little hoses connect the housing/steamer inside to the steamer motor
