 1、 Analysis of water leakage reasons

Loose joints: The joints of rubber drainage hoses are prone to water leakage. If the joints are loose or poorly sealed, it can lead to water leakage.
Rupture or damage: When used for a long time or subjected to external impact, the rubber drainage hose may rupture or be damaged, leading to water leakage problems.
Excessive bending: During installation, if the hose is excessively bent, it may cause damage to its internal structure, leading to water leakage.
Aging and wear: Over time, rubber materials will gradually age and wear, causing the hose to lose its original sealing performance, resulting in water leakage.
2、 Introduction to repair methods
Replace the joint: If the leakage problem is caused by a loose joint, the bolts or nuts at the joint can be tightened again to ensure a tight connection. If poor sealing of the connector is found, you can try replacing it with a new one.
Repair the damaged part: If the hose has been broken or damaged, special adhesive or hot melt adhesive can be used for repair. Apply glue or hot melt adhesive to the damaged area, then press it tightly and wait for it to dry. It should be noted that pressure testing should be conducted after repair to ensure the effectiveness of the repair.
Restore to its original state: If the hose is excessively bent and causes water leakage, an attempt can be made to restore it to its original state. Use professional tools such as a pipe bender to slowly restore the hose to its original shape. Be careful not to excessively bend the hose to avoid further damage.
Replace the aging hose: If the hose has aged and worn severely and cannot be repaired to solve the problem, it is recommended to replace it with a new rubber drainage hose. Choose suitable specifications and materials of hoses to ensure good waterproof performance and durability.
3、 Reminder of preventive measures
Correct installation: When installing the rubber drainage hose, ensure that the connection is well sealed to avoid air or water leakage. At the same time, it is necessary to follow the requirements of the product manual for correct installation to avoid damage caused by improper operation.
Regular inspection: Regularly inspect and maintain the rubber drainage hose, especially the joints and parts susceptible to external force impact. If any signs of looseness, damage, or aging are found, repair or replace them promptly.
Avoid excessive bending: During installation and use, avoid excessive bending of the hose to avoid damage. If it is necessary to bend the hose, please use appropriate tools and methods for operation.
Storage method: When not using rubber drainage hoses, they should be placed in a dry and ventilated place to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or damp environments. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid friction or squeezing with other objects to avoid damage.
In summary, repairing the leakage of rubber drainage hoses requires analyzing the cause of the leakage first, and then selecting appropriate repair methods for treatment. In addition, preventive measures such as correct installation, regular inspection, avoiding excessive bending, and correct storage methods should be taken to extend the service life of rubber drainage hoses and reduce the occurrence of water leakage.
