FAQs

How long is the hose when fully expanded?

The hose expands to a full 15 meters when water pressure is applied.

Is this hose suitable for hot water?

This hose is designed for cold water use only. Using hot water may damage the material and affect its performance.

What is the best way to store this hose?

Allow the hose to fully retract after use. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably out of direct sunlight, to maintain its condition and prolong its lifespan.

Can I use this hose with a pressure washer?

This hose is designed for standard garden water pressure. It is not recommended for use with high-pressure washers, as this could damage the hose.

How do I clean the hose?

Wipe the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

What happens if the hose gets a puncture?

Due to its expanding nature, repairing punctures can be difficult. Minor leaks might be temporarily sealed, but significant damage often requires replacement of the hose.

Does it come with any connectors or spray nozzles?

The product description typically details what is included. This hose features a universal connection point, meaning standard UK accessories can be easily attached.

Troubleshooting

Hose does not expand fully.

Check that the water pressure is sufficient. Ensure the tap is fully open and there are no blockages in the tap connection or the hose end.

Hose does not retract completely.

Ensure all water is drained from the hose. Check for any kinks or obstructions caught in the hose coils that may be preventing full retraction. Ensure there are no knots in the hose.

Water flow is inconsistent or weak.

Verify that the hose is not kinked or twisted. Check for blockages at the tap connection or the accessory end. Ensure adequate water pressure is being supplied.

Leaking connection at the tap or accessory.

Ensure the connections are screwed on tightly. Check the washer inside the female connector at the tap end for wear or damage and replace if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to handle, reducing user fatigue.
  • The auto-expanding and retracting feature simplifies watering and storage.
  • Anti-kink design ensures uninterrupted water flow.
  • Compact storage saves space in sheds or garages.
  • Standard connection makes it compatible with existing garden accessories.

Cons

  • Requires sufficient water pressure to expand fully and function optimally.
  • May not be suitable for very high-pressure cleaning tasks.
  • Coiled design might have limitations in extremely tight spaces compared to traditional hoses.
  • Durability over many years in harsh conditions may be a concern for some users.
  • The 15-meter length might be insufficient for very large gardens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your outdoor tap is compatible with a standard UK garden hose fitting.
  2. Screw the universal connector end of the hose firmly onto the tap.
  3. Attach your desired watering accessory (e.g., spray gun, sprinkler) to the other end of the hose.
  4. Turn on the water supply slowly. The hose will expand to its full length.
  5. Once watering is complete, turn off the water supply. The hose will automatically retract.

Compatibility:

This hose features a standard UK garden hose connection, making it compatible with the vast majority of outdoor taps and watering accessories available in the UK, including spray guns, sprinklers, and timers.

Care:

  • Storage: Always store the hose in a shaded area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use. Allow the hose to fully retract before storing.
  • Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Winterizing: Before freezing temperatures arrive, drain the hose completely and store it indoors if possible to prolong its lifespan.
  • Pressure: Avoid prolonged use at maximum water pressure if not necessary, and ensure the tap is fully open when in use to allow for proper expansion and retraction.
