Water Hose to Water in Safety

Water Hose Safety Tips

• Do not mix water and electricity. This is not my hose which is too near the power cables for my liking.
• Do not hang your hose as a kink or kinks will develop even if the hose is of the reinforced type. Use a reel to wind your hose onto.
• Do not leave hoses outside and exposed to the elements. Lag outdoor taps to prevent freeze ups.
• Do not drink from hose pipes where water will have stood since last used. Ensure you have a return valve on outdoor taps to stop stagnant water and bacteria being siphoned back into your water supply.
• To avoid tripping on loose hoses fit a wall mounter re-reeler.
