Water Right is the leading manufacturer of Polyurethane Garden Hose in the world.

Trying to put out a fire with a common garden hose might end in tragedy, with serious burns and life-threatening injuries. As a commercial water hose manufacturer, we design some of the most flexible, heavy duty water hoses ever designed.

2015年6月19日 · Fighting the fire with limited resources (like a garden hose instead of a fire hose) could do little more than allow the fire to spread. Using your limited resources to protect the surrounding area might be the best course of action.

2024年6月16日 · Can you fight a house fire with a garden hose? Yes, you can use a garden hose to fight small fires in a house. However, it is important to note that garden hoses are not as effective as proper fire extinguishers, and they should only be used in emergency situations until professional help arrives.

When that happens, contaminated water from your garden hose could flow backwards – through your house and into our community’s drinking water system. You can help by using these simple methods to keep our drinking water safe. Keep dirt & bacteria, herbicides & pesticides, soaps and other contaminants out of your water supply.

2024年6月16日 · While a garden hose may be able to deliver water to the fire, it is not designed for the intensity and heat of a house fire. The water pressure from a typical garden hose is simply not strong enough to effectively combat a fully-engulfed fire.

2024年10月18日 · On average, a garden hose can deliver 8–12 gallons of water per minute, less than the hundreds or thousands of gallons required to combat wildfires effectively. Additionally, local water pressure may drop dramatically in a major wildfire as emergency responders and firefighting teams tap into the water supply.

While water is critical to fire fighting, professional systems incorporate class A fire fighting foam that helps the water seep into materials vs. pooling and evaporating. The foam provides environmentally friendly, non-toxic and biodegradable protection that plain water from a garden hose cannot match.

Effective tools for reducing water pressure include hose regulators and pressure-reducing valves, which help control flow for delicate plants. Steps to decrease water pressure involve assessing current pressure, installing appropriate devices, and continually monitoring performance.
