Many garden hoses leach lead and other chemicals into the water as it sits in the hose. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and brass fittings are often the culprits. Yuck – the hose water tastes like lead! To reduce such risk, purchase, use, and/or drink only from hoses labeled safe for drinking water.

The best way to store an expandable hose is in a container or hose storage pot. They should be stored indoors, out of direct sunlight, or in a storage container with a lid. Stylish hose pots can be a great storage solution for these types of hoses.

Facts about flexible braided hoses

• They don't have a very long shelf life – often just five years.
• Some products are of questionable quality.
• Correct maintenance is not carried out which can lead to rust, fraying or kinking.
• Incorrect installation. They could be over stretched or too loose.

Despite their benefits, expandable garden hoses may encounter several issues that require attention. Some of the common problems include leaks, tangles, and connector failures. These issues can arise due to factors such as wear and tear, improper storage, exposure to extreme temperatures, or accidental damage.

One of the main downsides to expandable hoses is that the outer hose is usually made from softer material than normal hoses and can therefore be prone to ripping. There's a more robust inner tube, but that, again, is more malleable than your usual hose, which can mean tears.

If the nuts are not tightened enough, this will create a leak path on the outside of the hose. If they are too tight, the seal will rupture. In both cases, chlorine from the water supply will build up on the braiding and corrode it over time. This is the most common reason for bursting.
