Product Information

Full details

The Pocket Hose Copper Bullet is an ultra-lightweight, expanding garden hose designed for gardeners seeking a durable, easy-to-handle, and compact watering solution. Its key benefit is expanding up to three times its original length for convenience and then shrinking down for effortless storage, eliminating kinks and heavy lifting. A potential caveat is its reliance on water pressure to maintain its expanded state and shape.

Does this hose require a reel for storage?

No, the Pocket Hose Copper Bullet shrinks down to a compact size for easy storage, eliminating the need for a hose reel.

What makes the fittings 'copper-infused'?

The fittings are infused with copper, which is known for its durability and conductivity. They are also oversized and designed for an easy, secure grip.

How do I prevent the hose from kinking?

The Pocket Hose Copper Bullet is designed to be kink-free due to the constant water pressure. Ensure it's fully expanded with water flowing and avoid sharp bends.

Can I use this hose with a pressure washer?

This hose is designed for standard garden tap water pressure. It is not intended for use with high-pressure systems like pressure washers, which could damage the hose.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Pocket Hose Copper Bullet comes with a 1-year guarantee.

How should I store the hose during winter?

It is recommended to drain all water from the hose and store it indoors in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures to protect it from frost damage.

Troubleshooting

Hose does not expand fully.

Ensure the water pressure is sufficient. Check for any kinks or blockages in the hose or at the tap connection. Make sure the nozzle is not restricting flow too much.

Hose leaks at the fittings.

Ensure the fittings are screwed on tightly to the tap and nozzle. Check if the rubber washer inside the female fitting is present and undamaged. Try wrapping plumber's tape around the tap threads.

Hose does not contract fully.

Ensure all water has been expelled by turning off the tap and briefly turning it on again. Check for any obstructions preventing contraction.

Hose appears damaged or punctured.

Inspect the hose for visible tears or holes. If damage is found, the hose may need to be replaced as repairs to the inner tube are not typically feasible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver.
  • Expands for long reach and contracts for compact storage.
  • Kink-free operation prevents interruptions.
  • Durable construction with protective outer jacket.
  • Universal fittings ensure compatibility with standard taps and nozzles.
  • Includes a versatile adjustable nozzle.

Cons

  • Requires water pressure to maintain expanded length and shape.
  • Durability may be affected by extreme temperatures or sharp objects.
  • The 25ft length might be insufficient for very large gardens.
  • Expansion and contraction speed can vary with water pressure.
  • Copper-infused fittings, while durable, can be susceptible to oxidation over time if not maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water tap is turned off.
  2. Screw one end of the Pocket Hose Copper Bullet onto the water tap. The universal fittings should attach easily.
  3. Attach your desired nozzle or sprinkler to the other end of the hose.
  4. Turn the water tap on slowly. The hose will expand to its full length.
  5. Turn the tap off and then briefly turn it on again to purge remaining water and allow the hose to contract.

Compatibility:

  • The universal fittings are designed to connect to any standard garden tap and standard hose accessories (nozzles, sprinklers, spray guns).

Care:

  • After each use, ensure the hose is fully contracted by turning off the water and briefly turning it on again to expel water. This prolongs the life of the inner latex tube.
  • Store the hose in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Avoid dragging the hose over sharp or abrasive surfaces.
  • Periodically check the fittings for secure connections and clean them if necessary.
  • Do not leave the hose connected to the tap under pressure for extended periods when not in use.
