FAQs

How do I store the hosepipe?

After use, drain the hose, and store it in a shaded area to prevent sun damage. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or freezing temperatures.

What if my water pressure is low?

The hose will still work, but may not expand to its full length. Consider using the hose for tasks that don't require the full extended length.

Can I use hot water with this hose?

It is recommended to use cold or lukewarm water. Excessive heat can damage the hose.

What spray settings are available?

The spray gun offers 7 settings: Mist, Jet, Shower, Flat, Centre, Cone, and Full.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes the expandable hosepipe, a threaded tap connector, a hose end connector, and a 7-function spray gun.

What if the hose gets a puncture?

Inspect the hose for damage. Small punctures may be repairable with a hose repair kit (not included). For larger damage, it may be necessary to replace the hose.

Troubleshooting

Hosepipe does not expand fully.

Check water pressure. Ensure the tap is fully open and that there are no kinks in the hose. If water pressure is low, expansion will be limited.

Spray gun settings not working correctly.

Check for any blockages in the spray gun nozzle. Ensure the settings are correctly selected by rotating the spray gun head. If it still doesn't work, rinse the nozzle under running water.

Hose leaks at the connection points.

Tighten the connections at the tap and spray gun. Make sure the washers are in good condition and properly seated. Replace washers if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Expands for extended reach, covering more area with ease.
  • The lightweight design makes it easy to move around the garden and store.
  • The included spray gun offers multiple settings for various watering and cleaning needs.
  • Tangle-free design saves time and frustration compared to traditional hoses.

Cons

  • Performance is dependent on adequate water pressure; low pressure may limit expansion.
  • Durability may vary depending on usage and water pressure.
  • May require specific connectors for compatibility with certain tap types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Connecting the Hose: Attach the threaded tap connector to your outdoor water tap. Then, connect the hose end connector to the spray gun.
  2. Water Pressure: Ensure your water pressure is sufficient for the hose to expand fully.
  3. Compatibility: The kit is designed to fit standard outdoor taps. If your tap is non-standard, you may need an adapter (not included).
  4. Care Instructions: After use, drain the hose by turning off the water and allowing the pressure to release. Store the hose in a shaded area to prevent sun damage. Avoid dragging the hose over rough surfaces that may cause damage.
