Water Hose FAQs

What's the difference between Bromic Quicky, PEX PRO™ and FlexPro water hose ranges?

Whilst Bromic "Quicky" water hoses are manufactured with a rubber core, Bromic PEX PRO™ hoses are manufactured with an extremely high-density polyethylene inner core, making them 100% burst proof*. They are also made with a marine grade 316 stainless steel braid that is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. Meanwhile the FlexPro is engineered specifically for the most challenging installs, where flexibility and durability matter the most. The FlexPro uses a burst-proof PE-RT liner combined with ACB nylon braiding, making it exceptionally flexible without loss of structural integrity.

Are Bromic water hoses suitable for hot water?

All Bromic "Quicky", PEX Mixer Tap, PEX, PEX PRO™ and FlexPro flexible water hoses are suitable for use with heated water up to 70°C @ 1000kPa and cold-water supplies @ 1200 kPa.

Are the Bromic Mixer Tap hoses the same as Bromic PEX water hoses?

Yes, the Bromic PEX Mixer tap hoses are manufactured with the same stainless steel braid and PEX core as Bromic PEX hoses, making them burst proof. The only difference is the red and blue stripes integrated into the braid to distinguish between hot and cold water hoses.

What is PE-RT?

Polyethylene of Raised Temperature (PE-RT). PE-RT ensures exceptional flexibility while maintaining superior resistance to high temperatures. This makes it ideal for both hot and cold water applications, without compromising performance.

What is the benefit of ACB?

ACB replaces a traditional metal reinforcement with a non-metallic nylon braid, eliminating corrosion and rust while delivering an ultra flexible, kink-resistant hose structure. This means the hose is unaffected by chemicals such as chlorine and cleaning agents, avoiding the long-term degradation and flow-restricting risks associated with metal-reinforced hoses.
