If the water pressure is on and the hose exposed to the Sun, will heat from the Sun damage my hose? In my experience very well, the hose is designed  to deliver liquid at a wide range of  pressures and temperatures. Temperatures from -60 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Why has my credit card been charged before I received my merchandise? Orders placed using a credit card are processed immediately and automatically, your credit card is charged as soon as your credit card is approved, I am informed of the order after that.  

Will these hoses kink? With low water pressure they will sometimes kink. If you have good water pressure they should not kink. These hoses are designed for high pressure, the higher the pressure the better they will perform.

I need a 100 foot hose but I use 50 foot most of the time should I buy a 100 foot hose or two 50 foot hoses? In my opinion you should get two 50 feet because you will need to completely unroll the hose each time you use it. Keep in mind this is a fire hose, it collapses a 100% upon it's self when you roll it up. The hose will need to be completely unrolled and fully extended before you use it.

If these hoses are fire hose, will they work where I connect my garden hoses? Yes the A1-725250 hoses come with standard garden hose faucet connectors. They will connect to any place, any other garden hose will hook up.

Do all A1-725250  hoses have Drinking water Certification? Yes

Do you have a hose reel? I am sorry I do not have a hose reel at this time. I use an electric cord reel for the hose I use. Any electric cord or small hose reel found at your local hardware store make great flat hose reels.

Does the Power Nozzle (Product ID #: 20302) have garden hose threads? Yes

What are the differences between 5/8 in. and 3/4 in. hoses? 5/8 in. and 3/4 in. is the inside diameter of the hose, with a 3/4 in. hose you get more water volume. Connectors on 5/8 in. and 3/4 in. hoses are the same, they have standard garden hose connectors.

  

How much does the hoses weigh and how big of a roll is created when  the hose is rolled up? The A1 625 300 5/8" X 100 ft hose weighs two pound and four ounces and will roll up to less than 10". A 100 foot A1 725 300 3/4" weighs three pounds and will roll up to less than 12". The A1 500- HD 3/4" X 100 ft. weighs 5 lb. and rolls up in less than a 14" roll.

Will some water always remain in the hose and make it unusable in cold weather? That is one of the great things with my hoses, in most cases if you fully extend the hose and make sure to get all the dips out of it and disconnect the ends of the hose it will empty the hose and go back flat. This may take a little practice.

How does this hose withstand the winter?  In my experience very well, the hose is designed  to deliver liquid at a wide range of  pressures and temperatures. Temperatures from -60 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a little misleading, the hose will not freeze but water will freeze at 32 degrees. The hose will not keep water from freezing below 32 degrees.

Can these hoses be repaired? Yes, if you should need to replace an end or repair your hose, it can be repaired with any standard garden hose repair parts, from your local hardware store. Use 3/4" repair parts (DO NOT USE THE ONE SIZE FITS ALL).

Can I use the hose partially unrolled? Yes if you use a hose hanger and make the hose loops 3 or 4 feet.  Unfortunately not if you use a hose reel no Keep in mind this is a fire hose, it is a true flat hose and will collaps, 100% upon it's self when rolled up. It will need to be completely unrolled and fully extended for best results.

Can I get  the A1 hose in different colors? No they come only in yellow.

Can I get a custom length hose? Yes, max length 100 feet.

Can I change or modify my hose? Yes but it will void your warranty.
