When reliability matters most, choose the MAXLite® Premium Rubber+® Hose. This premium garden hose is built with Swan’s exclusive rubber formula, making it twice as strong yet up to 40% lighter than standard hoses. That means it’s easier to carry, coil, and store while still holding up to demanding use.
With a burst strength of 400+ PSI, it won’t give out under pressure. That makes it dependable for commercial water hose applications yet versatile enough for everyday tasks such as irrigating large areas, washing vehicles, or handling tough outdoor cleaning.
Cold snaps, heat waves, and harsh sun can cause ordinary hoses to crack or stiffen. The MAXLite Premium Rubber+ Hose is engineered as an all-weather garden hose, staying flexible down to -40°F and featuring a UV-resistant jacket for a 30% longer life in the sun. To prevent kinks and leaks at the water source, it features a non-kinking garden hose design with Swan’s patented Hose Armour® at the female coupling.
Heavy-duty aluminum crush-proof hose couplings withstand up to 3,000 PSI, so accidental drops or pressure surges won’t slow you down. And because it’s part of Swan’s Element line, this rubber garden hose meets the lead-free standards of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act—making it safe for people, pets, and the planet.
Available in 5/8-inch and 3/4-inch sizes—with the larger version delivering up to 20% more water flow—this black rubber garden hose comes in multiple lengths and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty for lasting strength and performance.

How Do I Set Up My Hose?
- Set up your hose outside in temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure maximum flexibility.
- Remove all packaging and ties.
- Check that the washer is properly seated in the coupling that attaches to the water source.
- Unwind the hose loosely in a circular motion before attaching it to the water source.
- Run water through the hose until the water exiting the hose is cool.
- Leave the hose laid out straight and allow it to heat up during the day.
- Wind the hose back accordingly.
How Do I Care for My Hose?
- Disconnect your hose from any standard metal faucet/spigot/hose bib and metal hose attachment and then reconnect at least twice per year to maintain a proper seal of the washer.
- Before reconnecting, loosen any corrosion evident on the hose coupling, standard metal faucet/spigot/hose bib and metal hose attachment caused by weather or environmental elements, which can cause the hose to fuse to the faucet and/or attachment.
- Always inspect the washer for proper placement and clear any buildup on the washer, coupling or faucet. This will help prevent potential leaks.
- Never overtighten coupling connections. Normally, tightening the coupling connections by hand is sufficient. Using a wrench to tighten the couplings might stop a leak in the short-term; however, it can damage the washer, compromising it for future connections.
- Do not pull and stretch the hose to reach a watering location beyond the length of the hose. When the hose starts to pull off the ground, you put excess force on its connections to the water source and any attachment such as a nozzle. This will not only damage your hose, it can also damage the plumbing that feeds the water source, as well as the attachment.
- Be careful not to drive over your hose. This can damage the hose and drastically reduce its life.
- If your hose is left in a shady spot, its exterior can be cleaned periodically with a mild soap-and-water solution to reduce the chance of organic growth. How Do I Store My Hose?
- Drain your hose when you’re not using it. Water left in a hose for extended periods of time can cause bacteria to form.
- Once the hose is drained, the male and female ends can be connected for storage. Washer replacement is suggested annually or after a prolonged connection.
- When coiling the hose for storage, try to do so without leaving any kinks in the hose. A hose stored with kinks will most likely kink in these same locations very easily once the hose is put back in use. Prolonged kinks create weak spots in the hose.
- Store the hose indoors when not in use.
- Flush your hose with water when put back in use.
Warnings
- Do not run hot water through your hose (unless your hose is rated for hot water).
- Do not run liquids other than water through your hose as they are only designed for use with water.
- Do not leave the hose under pressure when not in use. Heat or pressure can damage your hose and cause it to leak or burst.
- Our hoses are not intended for indoor use. Garden hoses are intended for use in residential and/or commercial water systems that have typical average water pressures up to approximately 100 PSI. Garden hoses should not be used for system pressures based upon burst rating.
