I have been so careful with my purple hose, but today after using it for the first time this year it started
941332
it started leaking & then the inner pipe cut from one side. there is a technical fault in the expanding hose. I have send email to you before three weeks asking if there is away for repairing it but no answer

The first time I used it, it blew up in my face. Never again an Expanding hose for me!

I returned one and they replaced it and the new one blew out also. I threw it away and saved the gaskets!

This hose is not very well constructed. It leaked almost from the first use. We have replaced it with the "X Hose ?" Green with fiberglass threads and yellow nylon connectors. This is a better constructed hose.

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.

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

I have gone through hundreds and this has never happened. Have you tried cleaning the unit? Maybe the piece that punctures is no longer as sharp and clogged, which will put undue pressure upon opening.

I handled this hose very carefully , but in few weeks it exploded during its usage

Shark has them BUT I called them yesterday on the same issue. There are sending me another hose. Maybe they have had problems with the hose. Mine came apart from the connector piece. If your issue is the same go on the website and get the phone number for parts.

Only thing I can think of that might create a problem like this is how the hose is attached when fully extended. The drum that holds the hose when rolled up must be rotated so the little gadget on the front (sorry, don't know the official name) that moves side to side when the hose is moving is as far as possible to the side where your hose connect inside the box. Then start the rolling up action. If you don't do it this way, it will be really tempermental

I had one that did that. return it asap! It can't be fixed. I've had three. One failed the second time I used it, doing what yours is doing. The other sheared open along a 4 foot length of hose and the water poured out there. The only one I've had that has lasted is the one made by Rumford. The other two were useless!

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.

try twisting any one hose 1/4 turn and repeat until you get the movement you want. it should move in different directions as it cleans

Make sure you keep the hose straight when it's rewinding. If you don't (and it kinks going around the rewinder) it will cause a problem pulling it out and MAY do damage to your hose also.

You might want to check the hose feed in the unit. Maybe your hose is binding up. There is a plastic part that the hose feeds through while it is winding up. Make sure that part was in the down position before you initially fed the hose into your unit.

I had my hose for about 35 days and used it to water my garden twice a day for about 10 minutes a time. Had a blowout half way down the length of the hose today. Prior to that, there were no problems or issues. Not sure what caused the blowout. It appeared to happen suddenly. No chance of repair.

I'm not sure I have been using mine all winter here in Kentucky. Been in the teens while using the hoses. Only problems at that I seen the hoses wasn't as plyable.

Make sure that the hose snaps in place. If it doesn't snap in place check o make sure the plastic pieces that snap the hose in place aren't broken. I don't believe this is a common problem, its never happened to me. Good luck.

Adjust the position of the hose weight per the instructions. That should fix it.

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