FITT HiFlo®

FAQ

• Can I connect two hoses?

  Yes, you can connect two FITT HiFlo by screwing the male end into the female end. Please be aware that increasing the length may reduce the water flow rate, so you may experience a slight drop in pressure over that length of hose. However, you should still have ample pressure to use the hose as intended. Please be sure the hose is fully extended and not partially coiled or on a reel, as that will also affect the pressure.

• Can I replace the fittings?

  The fittings can be removed and reattached, but replacements are currently unavailable for sale in the U.S.

  FITT Hiflo has been studied for external applications and are able to withstand UV ray.

• Are any heavy metals used in FITT hoses?

• What happens if the product is left in an area subject to high temperature?

• What happens if I leave the hose exposed to the sun for a long time?

  Prolonged exposure to sunlight, as well as sudden temperature variations, reduce the product’s service life. We recommend that you store the FITT HiFlo out of direct sunlight and protected against temperatures hotter than 160°F after each use.

• What happens if I leave the hose exposed to frost for a long time?

  The tests carried out on FITT HiFlo at low temperatures failed to reveal any critical effects on the product’s performance. We recommend that you empty the hose after each use to prevent residual water from freezing and store indoors during the winter months.

• Can I wind the hose on a reel?

  Yes, FITT HiFlo can be wound on a traditional reel for storage, however it’s not compatible with an automatic winder or auto reel. We recommend unwinding it completely before use to avoid damaging the reel.
