FITT Aquamaster

FAQ

• Can I connect two hoses?

  Yes, you can connect two FITT Aquamaster 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.
