If you spot any bulges, cracks, or abrasions on the hose cover, that's a clear warning. Leaks at fittings, stiff or kinked sections, and a noticeable drop in system pressure are also major red flags. Listen for unusual whining or hissing sounds from the system, and always feel for hot spots or vibration along the hose path. Catching these signs early can save you from a messy, dangerous burst.
