My crew laughed when I started color-coding the hose connections, but now they copy me.

I used to hook up hoses by guesswork, and we messed up a lot. Now, I mark intake lines with blue tape and discharge with red. This stops mix-ups and gets us working faster. The whole team uses my system now.

OSHA would tell you red is for danger, but you made it for discharge which is pretty clever. That quick visual cue turns a possible mistake into a muscle memory move. It just makes the whole job feel more sorted from the start.

My muscle memory is so bad I'd probably still grab the wrong hose.
