Product review (1 stars): Waste of money
I bought these hoses thinking that they would last forever and they did SEEM to be well made. The Floodsafe tag on these hoses made me think I'd never have to buy another washing machine hose as long as I lived. Since my purchase in April of 2014, I've had to unhook them from my machine every time our local water supply has a fluctuation or shuts down for repairs. When they turn the water back on, these hoses see it as excessive flow and shut down. The only way to "reset" it is to disconnect them and reattach. I've just about worn out the plastic threads on my washer. The Watts website says to disconnect only the supply side, which, I did. I still have to take both ends loose and blow air through them in order to restore flow. Don't waste your money on these, they are a nuisance and waste your time.
