FAQs
What is the maximum length the Hozelock Superhoze can reach?

Can I use this hose with a pressure washer?

How does the hose shrink back?
Once the water supply is turned off at the tap, the hose automatically shrinks back to its original compact size.
What size taps is the included connector compatible with?

Does the hose come with a nozzle?
Yes, the set includes a garden spraying nozzle that can be twisted to adjust the water force.
How should I store the hose?
Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight after it has shrunk and is dry. This helps to preserve the material and its expanding properties.
Will this hose kink or tangle?
No, the design of the Hozelock Superhoze specifically prevents it from kinking or tangling, ensuring continuous water flow.
Troubleshooting
Hose not expanding to full length
Ensure the tap is fully open and the water pressure is sufficient. Check for any kinks or blockages in the hose or at the nozzle. The hose may need to reach full pressure to achieve maximum expansion.
Hose not shrinking after use
Ensure the water supply has been completely turned off at the tap. Check that the nozzle is not set to a trickle that maintains internal pressure. Ensure there are no blockages preventing water from draining.
Leaking connections
Check that the quick-release connectors are securely fastened to both the tap and the nozzle. Ensure any washers or seals within the connectors are present and in good condition.
Water flow is weak
Verify that the tap is fully open. Check the spraying nozzle for blockages and adjust its setting. Inspect the hose for any kinks or internal obstructions.
