Extended Product Information

FAQs

What hose sizes are compatible with this set?

This set is compatible with 1/2" (13mm) and 5/8" (15mm) garden hoses.

Does the Water Stop require power or batteries?

No, the Water Stop operates purely mechanically. It automatically stops water flow when an accessory is disconnected and resumes flow when a new one is attached.

Can I leave this set outside in winter?

Yes, both components are frost-proof and designed for year-round use, but it is recommended to store them in a sheltered place during prolonged harsh winter conditions for maximum longevity.

What does 'Power Grip' mean?

Power Grip refers to the specially shaped union nut on the Hose Connector, which ensures a strong grip on the hose and facilitates easy, trouble-free assembly and disassembly.

How do I clean the Hose Connector and Water Stop?

You can clean them with a damp cloth. Ensure they are dry before storing, especially if storing for a long period or during cold weather.

Is this set suitable for high-pressure hoses?

The specially shaped union nut is designed for high hose pressure, ensuring a secure connection. However, always ensure your hose itself is rated for the pressure you intend to use.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Gardena offers a 5-year warranty on this product, reflecting its high quality and German manufacturing.

Troubleshooting

Water continues to flow when accessory is removed.

Ensure the Water Stop is securely attached to the hose end and that the accessory was fully disconnected. Check for any debris obstructing the Water Stop mechanism.

Hose connector is difficult to attach to the tap.

Verify you are using the correct hose diameter. Ensure the tap threads are clean. Try slightly loosening the union nut on the connector before attempting to screw it onto the tap.

Leakage at the connection point.

Check that the hose is properly seated within the connector and that the union nut is tightened sufficiently. Inspect the hose for any damage at the end.

Water flow seems reduced.

Ensure there are no kinks in the hose. Check the hose connector and Water Stop for any internal blockages or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach the Hose Connector to the tap end of your garden hose. Ensure the union nut is tightened securely but do not overtighten.
