Foaming from pure water at start of day
« on: July 15, 2012, 05:49:50 pm »
Anyone else get this?  When I first bung on the pump in the morning, I get slightly foamy water coming out of the brush.  It's much more noticeable on a Monday morning than any other.  It's been the same through the hose's life, and it's the same on both hoses.

Anyone, or is it just me?

This is due to the pure water leaching the inside of the hose as it sits there. this is why its worse on a monday. I find it passes after just a few minutes

I always think it looks like soap but could not understand where it was coming from

Is it not just a bit of air in you system?

How would it turn to foam ???

I've always assumed it's some kind of plasticiser in the hose that's ever so slightly soluble (so the water has to be against it for a long while) and that acts as a detergent.

Only lasts a minute or two, so not a problem; glad it's not just me.

It has to do with the hose you use without a doubt. I never had this until I bought Gardiner's micro bore. First day I experienced this was the first day using it, to this day, it still foam's all the time. I don't pretend to know why it does or why my previous hose's never did. Probably due to manufacture material probably. Thankfully, the good new's is it does not affect the end result, no matter how concerning it look's at the time of cleaning.

I take that comment isn't for real but just a conceptual insult.  ;D

Tosh, I love you.  :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*

Well, I might as well come out and say it and a forum is as good a place as any.
