Product Information

Full details

This 100FT Expanding Garden Hose Pipe in Blue from Accessotech is designed for homeowners seeking an effortless solution for watering gardens and outdoor cleaning. Its key benefit is its ability to expand up to three times its original length under pressure and automatically shrink back for easy, tangle-free storage. A potential caveat is its reliance on sufficient water pressure to expand fully and retract properly. Key features include its lightweight design, anti-kink fabric, durable inner core, and an included 7-pattern multi-function spray nozzle.

FAQs

What is the maximum length of this hose?

The hose expands up to 100FT when under sufficient water pressure.

How does the automatic shrinking feature work?

Once the water is turned off, the pressure is released, and the flexible material of the hose automatically recoils it to its original compact size.

What type of material is the hose made of?

It features a strong anti-kink outer fabric with a durable inner core designed for regular use.

Can I use this hose with a pressure washer?

This hose is designed for standard home water pressure. Using it with high-pressure systems like pressure washers is not recommended and may damage the hose.

How do I maintain the hose?

After use, drain fully and store in a shaded area. Avoid dragging over sharp objects. Check connections periodically.

What are the 7 spray patterns on the nozzle?

The patterns are Shower, Flat, Centre, Cone, Full, Mist, and Jet, offering a range of watering and cleaning options.

Is this hose suitable for drinking water?

The product description does not specify if the hose is rated for potable water. It is generally intended for gardening and outdoor cleaning tasks.

Troubleshooting

Hose does not expand to full length.

Check that the water tap is fully open and that there is adequate water pressure. Ensure there are no kinks in the hose before water is turned on.

Hose does not shrink back completely.

Ensure all water is drained from the hose by opening the nozzle on the 'Jet' setting after turning off the tap. Check for any obstructions or kinks preventing full retraction.

Water leaks from connection points.

Ensure the hose is securely connected to both the tap and the nozzle. Check that any washers or seals are present and in good condition. Tighten connections firmly but avoid overtightening.

Hose appears to be kinked or restricts water flow.

Turn off the water and manually straighten any visible kinks. The anti-kink design helps, but sharp bends can still occur during use or storage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless expansion and retraction saves time and effort.
  • Tangle-free design makes storage significantly easier than traditional hoses.
  • Lightweight construction improves maneuverability.
  • Included multi-function nozzle provides versatility for different tasks.
  • Durable construction designed for regular outdoor use.

Cons

  • Requires adequate water pressure to expand and retract correctly.
  • Maximum length is dependent on water pressure.
  • May not be suitable for extremely high-pressure applications.
  • Durability over many years of very heavy use is not explicitly detailed.
  • The automatic shrinking mechanism could be susceptible to damage from sharp objects when retracted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your outdoor tap is compatible with standard hose fittings.
  2. Connect one end of the expanding hose to the tap.
  3. Attach the 7-pattern spray nozzle to the other end of the hose.
  4. Turn on the water supply gradually. The hose will expand as pressure builds.

Compatibility:

This hose is designed to work with standard outdoor water taps and fittings. Ensure the water pressure in your system is sufficient for the hose to expand to its full potential (typically requires moderate to high pressure).

Care:

  • After each use, turn off the water supply and allow the hose to fully retract.
  • Store the hose in a shaded area when not in use to protect it from prolonged sun exposure.
  • Periodically check connections for leaks.
  • Do not drag the hose over sharp objects, especially when retracted, as this could damage the inner tube.
