Types of Hoses And Their Uses

The rubber hose is brittle and easily leaks. The rubber hose is twisted and bent. The hose has algae on it. Or the hose is difficult to roll up and store. These troubling problems may be because you have chosen the wrong type of hose. We would like to invite you to get to know 4 types of hoses that even though they can be used to transport water, they have some different properties. So what type of hose are you looking for? Please read this article!

Type 1: Green Striped Rubber Hose

Green striped rubber hose or opaque green rubber hose is made from PVC. The exterior has a striped surface. In addition to being available in green, other colors may also be found, such as blue, etc. As for the inner layer, it is opaque black to help prevent algae formation, which is very suitable for outdoor work. This type of rubber hose is difficult to twist, break, fold and bend because the rubber hose is quite hard and has two layers of material. Therefore, it has quite a bit of weight, and as for the stripes, when dragged back and forth on the ground, they can easily become messy.

Pros: Cheap price. The hose doesn't fold, flatten or break easily. 2-layer thick material. The inner layer is opaque black to prevent algae problems.
Cons: It is a hose made from new PVC mixed with recycled grade plastic. So it makes the rubber hose less flexible. It is hard and has a reasonable weight. Including the lifespan will not be as long as other types.
Type of use: For general use such as watering plants, washing cars, cleaning around the house, agricultural work, construction work, etc.

Type 2: Clear Rubber Hose

The clear hose is made from PVC. What you can clearly see is that the hose is 1 layer thick. It looks smooth and clear. When in use, you can easily see the water flowing through the inside, so it's suitable for general use such as watering indoor plants, connecting to the faucet to wash the car, or cleaning around the house. The softness and clarity of the rubber hose makes it easy to break or bend. Including algae because sunlight can reach it. (Sunlight is an important variable that causes algae to form.) Therefore, this hose is more suitable for indoor use than outdoor work.

Pros: The hose is clear, soft, smooth and can be bent as desired. You can clearly see flowing water or liquid flowing through the inside.
Cons: Algae easily forms in the hose. Including the rubber hose itself being easily twisted, folded, and bent. Once it loses its shape, it is difficult to return to its original shape.
Type of use: For general household use, whether it be construction work, agricultural work, housework, suitable for use indoors more than outdoors.

Type 3: Blue Opaque Rubber Hose

A bouncy blue opaque rubber hose made from a special formula PVC. Even though it is 1 layer thick like a clear rubber hose, it is tougher and more flexible. Inside the hose is opaque, no worries about algae. The rubber hose has a soft, bouncy texture that can be folded and bent, but it will easily return to its original shape as well. This is different from the clear rubber hose which is difficult to return to its original shape when deformed. In addition, this type of hose is resistant to sunlight and pressure like a car wheel stepping on it. Caution is that water pressure should not be left in the hose for too long as it may cause the hose to swell.

Pros: Tough, flexible, easy to roll up and store, resistant to sunlight, moss, and long service life. It is more flexible than clear rubber hose.
Cons: The price is higher than the green striped rubber strap and the clear rubber strap.
Type of use: For general use in households, agricultural work, and meets the needs of both indoor and outdoor use.

Type 4: Braided Rubber Hose

Braided rubber hose or braided reinforced rubber hose made from high quality PVC reinforced with rope or polyester fibers. You can find this type of hose in a 2-layer to 4-layer format, depending on the brand or model. As for the durability of this type of hose, it scores higher than anyone else because it has a tough texture. It's flexible and the rubber hose doesn't get twisted or tangled. Plus, it can receive more water pressure. Can easily be connected to a water pump or high pressure water sprayer.

Pros: The rubber hose is reinforced with synthetic fibers, making it tough, thick, has many layers, flexible, not twisted, resistant to high pressure, not brittle, cracks or leaks easily. In the case of a hose with a solid color inner layer, there will be no moss problem.
Cons: The price is higher than other types of rubber hoses.
Type of use: General use in households, agricultural work, industrial work, etc. Can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Even though the use of the 4 types of rubber hoses is not much different. But choosing the right type of hose will help the hose use its full potential and have a longer lifespan. The green striped rubber hose protects against algae well but is hard and heavy. The clear hose can clearly see the water and is easy to use, but should only be used indoors. The blue rubber hose is bouncy and easy to roll up and store. It's soft and opaque and helps keep algae out well. As for the braided rubber hose, there is no problem with the hose being twisted and tangled. Easy to roll up and store. Now when you go to buy a hose you don't have to be confused about the type of hose and you can choose the correct one according to your use.
