FAQs
What is the maximum length of the telescopic wand?
The product description does not specify the exact maximum length, but it is designed to significantly extend reach for watering hanging baskets or low-lying plants.
Can I use this with a pressure washer hose?
No, this water wand is designed for standard garden hose connections and typical household water pressures (2-8 bar), not high-pressure washer systems.
How do I change the spray pattern?
Rotate the nozzle head at the end of the wand to cycle through the 9 available spray settings: Mist, Cone, Shower, Soaker, Jet, Centre, Flat, Angle, and Fan.
Is the brass connector interchangeable?
The male brass connector is a standard fitting for garden hoses, designed for secure attachment. While standard, replacement would require a like-for-like brass connector for optimal sealing.
What maintenance is required for the telescopic shaft?
Keep the shaft clean and free from dirt. Store in a dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather. Ensure it's clear of debris before extending or retracting.
Does it come with a hose?
No, the Spear & Jackson Telescopic Water Wand includes a male brass connector but does not come with a garden hose.
What is the warranty period?
Warranty information is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official website for specific warranty terms.
Troubleshooting
Water leaks from the connector
Ensure the brass connector is securely tightened onto the hose. Check the hose washer for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
Low water pressure or weak spray
Verify that the main water supply is fully open. Check the garden hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the water pressure is within the 2-8 bar range.
Spray pattern selection is difficult
Gently rotate the nozzle head. If it feels stiff, try rinsing the nozzle under running water to clear any debris. Do not force the rotation.
Telescopic shaft is stiff to extend or retract
Ensure the shaft is clean and free of dirt or grit. Gently try to operate it. If persistent, a light application of silicone lubricant (avoiding the water path) might help, but ensure it does not impede the grip.
