FAQs
What is the main advantage of the lay-flat design?
The lay-flat design allows the hose to be stored compactly on its cassette and makes it easier to handle without tangling compared to traditional round hoses.
What size is the tap connector?
The hose comes with a standard 3/4" threaded tap connector, suitable for most common outdoor garden taps.
How many spray patterns does the included spray gun have?
The spray gun features 5 different dial settings, offering a variety of spray patterns for different watering and cleaning tasks.
Can I use this hose for very large gardens?
This hose is 15 meters long, making it suitable for medium-sized gardens. For very large properties, you may require a longer hose.
How should I store the hose during winter?
It is best to drain all water from the hose and store it with the cassette in a frost-free location, such as a shed or garage, to protect it from cold temperatures and UV damage.
Does the non-kink design mean it can never kink?
The patented non-kink design significantly reduces the likelihood of kinking, but extreme twists or pressure points might still cause a temporary obstruction. Laying the hose flat usually resolves this.
Troubleshooting
Hose will not connect to the tap.
Verify that your tap has a 3/4" male thread. Ensure the tap connector is screwed on straight and tightly. Check for any debris in the tap thread or connector.
Water flow is weak or inconsistent.
Ensure the hose is fully unwound and lying flat. Check for any kinks or twists in the hose. Make sure the tap is fully open. Inspect the tap connection and spray gun for blockages.
Spray gun settings are not working correctly.
Ensure the spray gun is securely attached to the hose. Try cycling through all the settings to clear any internal obstructions. Check for leaks at the connection point.
Hose is difficult to wind onto the cassette.
Ensure all water has been drained from the hose. Straighten any minor twists before winding. Avoid forcing the hose; if resistance is met, check for snags or internal issues.
