The hose pipe can be used straight from the wall mounted unit like many other hosepipes of a similar price range. Alternatively, the stand that the hose is wound onto can be easily lifted out and carried into the garden or to the area of work. No more hunting for hose accessories that have gotten lost somewhere in the shed. I love it when a design is well thought through.)

The drum which holds the hosepipe is large enough to hold up to 60m of hose, so you can buy a connector and add more hose length in the future if you want to. Although this hose measures 100 feet, you have another option of 50 feet. The hose features a three-layer latex core with flexible polyester covering to let you move the hose around without worrying about it breaking easily. It can expand up to the stated size as long as you exert water pressure within 12 bars. Its heavy gauge power coil also prevents the kinking problem, and it is made so strong as industrial strength. That is why you can use it in tough conditions also. The fittings are made of heavily with aluminum, and they are also leak-proof and long-lasting. The Gpeng garden hose comes with a sprayer for your convenience! With its eight nozzle patterns, you can have an enjoyable moment watering the garden, washing the car, or showering your pet. The grip of the sprayer is made of rubber so you don’t have to worry about it slipping out of your hand.In the past decade, the types of garden hoses available have grown to include lightweight, inexpensive hoses for limited watering chores and heavy-duty models for frequent or high-pressure water needs. Buyers can even find expandable garden hoses that stretch to full length when the water is on but retract to a third of that size for storage. Typical watering tasks will determine the best type of hose to choose. Then there are fully steel hoses that are perhaps the strongest of them all. Durable and kink-resistant, these hoses make for a hardy investment, especially since they are generally weatherproof. They won’t freeze, nor will they heat up the water in the hose and damage its internals, like rubber hoses can do; however, this is mainly an issue for people living in more extreme climates. And Ease of use, where we rated how easy it was to control the water flow, change between settings, and attach to a hose. The most common hose diameter is ⅝ inch, and it works well with most outdoor water supply sources. Wider hoses—up to 1 inch in diameter—will deliver more water volume-wise, but the pressure of the water as it exits the hose will drop. When choosing a wide hose, ensure there’s ample water pressure at the spigot. Narrow hoses, less than ½ inch, are well suited to spigots with low water pressure.

At the end of the testing, the hoses that didn’t make it were eliminated, and the scores for surviving hoses were tallied and used to help determine the award categories. Spiral hose: These are coiled hoses that retract for easy storage. They're often marketed for city gardening or for use on terraces. Is it for doing the gardens, washing the car, cleaning down patios etc? Then pace out the distance from the tap where it will be connected to the farthest area where you will need the hose to reach. the average pace size is about 2.5 feet. Count up the paces, and then multiply by 2.5 and you will get the length you need in feet. That is the length of hose that you will need. Stainless steel: Coils of stainless steel surround a waterproof membrane to create a rugged, durable hose that’s still flexible. A stainless steel hose is most often used for hand-watering, but it can also work with sprinklers.

If the storage compartment is full, there are accessory holders attached below the unit to hang bulky accessories.

While garden hoses are far from complicated products, getting a substandard one can be frustrating. I wanted to test the most popular hoses on the market and see if they lived up to the manufacturers’ hype. To that end, I tested them for flexibility, durability, and whether they could withstand a normal-to-high amount of water pressure without damage. I also carefully examined the quality of their fittings. I used a rubric and awarded each hose points based on its performance in each category. Yes, it is possible to connect two garden hoses as long as they are of the same diameter. However, doing so can affect the water flow and pressure. It is worth mentioning that temperature can affect burst pressure. If a hose is not UV-protected and is exposed to extremely high temperatures, the PSI value will go down. In this state, the hose will soften, stretch, and then eventually, burst. For example say you wanted the hose to wash your car which was parked outside your house. I would walk from my external tap, up the driveway, and around to the other side of the car. Let's assumethat was about 40 paces. 40 x 2.5 is100 feet. There are approximately 3 feet in a metre, so a 30 metre hose would do the job. Now Think About Kinks in the Hose

SHIPPING AND RETURNS

A few questions are to be expected for those looking to buy a quality garden hose that suits their needs. The type of anticipated watering chores will help determine the type and size of the hose. Q. What size hose should I buy? It’s a question I get asked often,’ says Camilla Basset-Smith, television horticulturalist on ITV’S Love Your Garden and RHS Plant Committee Member. ‘A 13mm or 15mm diameter bare hose is fine for filling a pond or watering large pots or trees in the ground, and a thumb over the end can vary the pressure/spray.

If, like me you are a keen gardener, you will probably agree that a hose pipe can be a very useful thing to have in the garden. The hose comes pre-installed with 3/4-inch brass connectors for connecting it to the spigot or faucets of the same size. It doesn’t matter if the fitting size doesn’t match because you can always use an adapter. Like length, the diameter of a garden hose is also variable. The standard diameter of a garden hose measures 5/8 inches, but you’ll also find ones measuring 1/2, 3/4, and 3/8 inches. You need to keep in mind that the wider the diameter, the more water will flow through the hose.

You don’t need to press and hold anything as you water because the thumb trigger is there to do that. It’s quite an advantage, especially for seniors. Although the hose is made of stainless steel, it is lightweight, so you won’t find it a hassle carrying the hose around in the garden. It is also flexible to let you reach tight spaces. Once you’re done with watering your garden, you can coil it up and hang it in a wall mount.
