FAQs

What is the total capacity of this watering can?

This watering can has a capacity of 5 liters.

What material is the watering can made of?

The watering can is made of plastic.

How do I clean the watering can?

Rinse it out after each use and periodically clean with mild soap and water. Ensure it's dry before storing.

Is this watering can suitable for large gardens?

This watering can is best suited for houseplants, pots, and small garden beds. For larger gardens, a larger capacity watering can or a hose might be more practical.

Can I leave this watering can outside?

It is recommended to store the watering can in a dry, shaded place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the plastic from degrading over time.

What are the dimensions of the watering can?

The dimensions are approximately 15cm in length, 45.5cm in width, and 30.5cm in height.

Troubleshooting

Water is not flowing smoothly from the spout.

Check the spout for any blockages, such as debris or mineral deposits. Rinse thoroughly or use a small brush to clear the opening.

The handle feels unstable.

Ensure the handle is securely attached. If it's a separate piece, reattach it firmly. For molded handles, inspect for any cracks.

The plastic appears to be fading or becoming brittle.

This can be caused by prolonged exposure to UV rays. Store the watering can indoors or in a shaded area when not in use. Consider a UV-resistant watering can for areas with intense sunlight.
