What Happens If I Leave the Garden Hose After Use?
Leaving a garden hose on after use causes it to continue accumulating water. This can affect the hose by permanently altering its shape and affecting its water pressure delivery. During the cold season, the water can freeze and expand, creating a ripple effect in the damage – affecting the connected faucet, valve, and pipes. In a worst-case scenario, this can lead these connected parts to also freeze and burst.
