Zinite Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I have a Black/Gold KM hose that I've never washed before. I tried to use it today for the first time in about a month, and on the first inhale took a mouthful of brown dust. I attempted to blow it out with some air cans, but even then I still felt little particles hit my mouth when I inhaled. Again, I've never exposed it to water. Is it done for?

trivial Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 when you suck in the moisture from your base gets in your hose... and natural moisture in your house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSl0th Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 it may also be hardened resin from the smoke. if you bang the hose together a little, it should loosen most of the particles. then just blow out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 You should blow your hose into a napkin or papertowel to get the rest of the moisture out. Otherwise it will sit in the hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Dude, hoses dont last forever. 4 months is about average. You'd be surprised how much moisture gets stuck in the hose over time. It literally drips out at times when I turn over my vinyl hose. It doesnt surprise me that it's done for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 happens to all my hoses when they sit for weeks. just blow it out really good. its not rust. after you blow it a few times it should work good as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
