The Makinex Hose-2-Go 14L Dust Suppression Water Bottle is a pump-free, constant-flow water supply designed for the plant and tool hire and construction industries. Unlike pressurised or battery-powered water bottles, the Hose-2-Go uses no pump, no battery and no electronics, so there is nothing to charge, wear out or break down between hires. It connects easily to disc cutters, core drills and grinders to provide a steady water feed for dust suppression during concrete cutting, drilling and grinding, helping operators control silica dust at the point of work.
Controlling respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust is a legal requirement under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations, and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) identifies on-tool water suppression as one of the most effective engineering controls for tasks such as cutting kerbs, paving and concrete blocks. With a 14 litre capacity and up to 30 minutes of continuous water flow, the Hose-2-Go gives hire fleets and site teams a straightforward way to support these control measures without the reliability issues associated with pumped or electronic systems. Its dual-position carry handle makes it easy to move between jobs, and its simple, low-maintenance design suits the demands of a busy hire counter.
Features and Benefits
- No pump - fewer moving parts means less to go wrong and less maintenance downtime

- No complicated electronics - simple, robust design suited to tough site conditions
- 14 litre capacity with up to 30 minutes of constant flowing water per fill
- Handle with two carrying positions for easy transport between jobs
- Compatible with disc cutters, core drills and grinders for on-tool water suppression
- Supports COSHH compliance by helping control exposure to silica dust at source
Top Tips: Getting the Most from Your Hose-2-Go
- Check the water level before starting a task - running dry mid-cut removes dust suppression exactly when it's needed most.
- Pair water suppression with the correct RPE. HSE guidance is clear that water control and respiratory protection work together, not as substitutes for each other.
- Rinse the bottle out after use, especially in colder months, to prevent residue build-up and keep the water flow consistent.
- Position the bottle so the hose has a clear, unrestricted run to the tool - kinks in the line reduce flow rate and suppression performance.
FAQs
Do I still need Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) if I'm using the Hose-2-Go?
Yes. HSE guidance treats water suppression and respiratory protective equipment as complementary controls, not alternatives - water suppression reduces dust at source, while RPE protects against any dust that remains.
How long will one fill last?
The 14 litre tank provides up to 30 minutes of continuous water flow, depending on the tool and flow rate in use.
Does the Hose-2-Go need a power source?
No. It has no pump, battery or electronics, relying instead on a simple pressurised design for constant water flow straight from the tank.
