Essential Maintenance Tips for Your High Pressure Hose

If you own a petrol, diesel, or electric water blaster, you are responsible for its maintenance. Water blasting servicing can prevent irreparable damage and costly repairs. However, one aspect that some people tend to overlook is high pressure hose maintenance. 

Your high pressure hose should also be properly taken care of to make sure that it works properly. Join Pressure Solutions Ltd as we explore the top tips for maintaining your high pressure hose!

So, without further ado, here are the essential maintenance tips for your high pressure hose:

1. Regular Inspection

Make sure to regularly inspect and check the hose and fittings, allowing you to identify any potential issues before they worsen and lead to bigger problems down the road. Always keep an eye out for any damage on the hose cover, and whether the hose is hard, burnt, bent, cracked, or has a leak. These are signs that your high pressure hose requires repairs or replacement. 

2. Replace Damaged Components

If you notice that any part of your high pressure hose is damaged, it is important that you replace these components as soon as possible. Avoid using the hose before replacing the damaged components as this can worsen its condition. 

3. Do Not Exceed the Maximum Pressure

High pressure hoses are built to hold up to a certain amount of working pressure. If a hose is subjected to a working pressure that is more than its published capacity, this might shorten its lifespan and even pose a safety risk. Remember to check the pressure rating of your high pressure hose and do not use pressures that are higher than what is recommended.

Maintaining your high pressure hose is key to ensuring its performance and longevity, saving you money in the long run from having to replace it too soon. Aside from taking care of your high pressure hose, it is also important to service and care for your diesel, electric, or petrol water blaster.
