It's been a couple years since I got a set of new hoses for offloading Freon. So it was no surprise that one of my hoses started leak! The real picture of the hose is below.
The good thing about Freon is that when it leaks out of the hose it just evaporates. It's not like other chemicals that just accumulates on the ground and you have to clean it up. Or heaven forbid you have to report it as a spill!
Been free on lakes it just trips on the ground and slowly evaporates in the air. If you have a really bad leg or extended period of time it will accumulate as a white Freon ice. But that Freon ice will slow slowly evaporate as well.
I told several of the guys, and they contacted David Malone, the big boss around here. He drove by later and told me he ordered a set of hoses. If one hose starts to leak, The other one won't be too far away from leaking. So it's better they just order the pair for replacement.
When the valves are open, and the product in the hoses, It contains about three-hundred pounds per square inch of pressure! That's a lot of pressure! So when we develop a small leak in a hose, we need to make sure it gets replaced right away.
