IKEA LAGAN DW60 - Water Supply Hose Extension

Hi,

thanks for the link, but unfortunately the search for hoses comes up empty. The water does not turn black, at least not with the Ikea devices. The hose is double-walled and triggers a compressed sponge that stops the water supply. The hose is then scrap and must be replaced. The device itself also has a tray with a float, so if water flows back. If this is triggered, the device stops pumping. Both variants also work when the device is turned on. Double safety, therefore.

Regarding ordering a replacement hose again. True, the device is from E-Lux, so please call them. The number is in the user manual. Usually, you only get an extension since the aquastop on one hose is sufficient. A completely new hose in 4m length can, to my knowledge, also be obtained on request, but of course it then also costs significantly more.

I was curious about what the black color was supposed to mean.

From the website: Multiple water protection system; detects leaking water and then automatically stops the water supply.
From the instruction manual: The device has a special water supply hose with safety stop ([Aquastop]). [Aquastop] water supply hose
The supply hose is high-pressure resistant and designed for pressures up to Max. 6 MPa. The supply hose has an outer casing that protects it from damage. If the inner hose is damaged, the water inside the hose turns dark. This is visible through the transparent outer hose. In such a case, immediately turn off the faucet and contact your responsible customer service.

Apparently combined all mentioned.

Hi,

I looked at the hose and Aquastop with the manufacturer and tried it out with one of the engineers. The water stop from an IKEA device was also simulated. Double-walled hose is correct, it was transparent but not, therefore no dark discoloration of the water. Only the mentioned opening of the sponge in the hose was the safety function and you can see this through a small window on the hose.

IKEA expert, because you write you found this info on the website. From E-Lux or Ikea? E-Lux or AEG can do a lot and are pioneers in many innovations and patents, but Ikea does not buy all of them. Therefore, I simply suspect that in this case it stays with the sponge in the hose.

Hello,

Hm,

strange... Do you have a link for me?

So: I bought the DWTI 60 a year ago and only have a hose without transparency. Maybe that is available now, but I don't think so. Anyway:

If the hose should become leaky, both versions have the Aqua-Stop and that should be sufficient, right???
