Fritz Tango Flexy Hybrid Hose Care

Here are some care and maintenance tips specific to the Fritz Tango Flexy Hybrid Garden Hose:

1. Avoid Extreme Temperature Storage: While the Flexy Hose is UV-resistant, storing it in extreme heat or cold can affect its flexibility and longevity. For best results, keep it in a cool, dry place, especially during winter or intense summer heat. A Fritz Tango Designer Hose Reel will keep your flexy hose in great shape.
2. Drain After Use: Draining the hose after each use helps reduce pressure on the inner tubing and prevents water from overheating in sunny areas or freezing in cold weather.
3. Store Out of Direct Sunlight: Although the hybrid polymer is UV-resistant, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can still heat the water inside. Storing it in the shade or in a covered space can prevent accidental burns from hot water and keep it cooler.
4. Avoid Kinking and Twisting: This hose resists kinks, but regularly pulling it from sharp angles can still cause wear over time. To maintain flexibility, avoid tight kinks or twists and use a hose reel or hanger for proper storage.
5. Check Fittings for Tightness: Over time, fittings can loosen. Periodically check the solid brass fittings to ensure they’re tight and leak-free for maximum water pressure and efficiency.
6. Inspect for Abrasions: While durable, the hybrid rubber polymer can still be affected by very rough or sharp surfaces. Avoid dragging it over gravel or sharp edges to keep it looking and working its best.
7. Washing Your Flexy Hybrid Rubber Hose: If your hose gets dirty, simply rinse it with a mix of mild soapy water and gently scrub with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools that could scratch or damage the hybrid polymer surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing to remove any soap residue, and let it dry completely before storing.

These steps will help ensure the Flexy Hybrid Garden Hose stays reliable and in top condition!
