A lay flat hose can burst for several reasons, especially when used with high-pressure pumps or on demanding worksites. Common causes include excessive pump pressure, water hammer, abrasion, UV exposure, incorrect clamps, kinks and poor storage.
Start by checking that the hose’s working pressure rating matches your pump. Inspect for cuts, worn areas, surface cracks and damaged fittings. Avoid dragging the hose over gravel, concrete or sharp edges, and close valves gradually to reduce pressure spikes.
