Product Information

Full details

This 50FT Expanding Garden Hose Pipe by Accessotech is designed for gardeners and homeowners seeking a lightweight, easy-to-store, and tangle-free solution for watering and outdoor cleaning. Its key benefit is expanding up to three times its length under pressure for extended reach, automatically retracting for simple storage. A potential caveat is the need for consistent water pressure for optimal expansion and retraction.

FAQs

What is the maximum length this hose can reach?

The hose can expand up to 50 feet when sufficient water pressure is applied.

How does the hose retract?

The hose automatically shrinks back to its original size within seconds once the water supply is turned off.

What is the weight of the hose?

The hose weighs approximately 250g, making it very lightweight.

Can I use this hose with a pressure washer?

This hose is designed for standard garden tap water pressure. It is not typically recommended for use with high-pressure systems like pressure washers, as it may not be designed to withstand such forces.

How many spray patterns does the nozzle have?

The included multi-function spray nozzle has 7 different patterns: Shower, Flat, Centre, Cone, Full, Mist, and Jet.

Is this hose durable enough for daily use?

The hose is constructed with a strong outer fabric and a durable inner core designed for regular outdoor use for watering and cleaning tasks.

What are the storage dimensions?

When retracted, the hose is very compact. The packaging dimensions are 21.5 x 24.5 x 8cm, giving an idea of its stored size.

Troubleshooting

Hose does not expand to full length

Ensure the water tap is fully open and providing adequate water pressure. Check for any kinks or blockages in the hose or at the tap connection.

Hose does not retract fully or quickly

Make sure all water has been drained from the hose. Allow a few seconds for the retraction process. Check for debris caught within the hose layers.

Hose leaks at the connector

Tighten the connection to the tap or nozzle. Check if the washer inside the connector is present and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

Nozzle settings are not working correctly

Inspect the nozzle for debris. Try rotating through all settings to dislodge any obstructions. Ensure it is securely attached to the hose.

Hose appears to be kinked or twisted

While designed to be anti-kink, significant force or improper handling can cause temporary kinks. Turn off water, let it retract, and then gently straighten it before next use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless storage due to automatic shrinking.
  • Lightweight design makes it easy to handle and maneuver.
  • Anti-kink feature significantly improves user experience.
  • Versatile with multiple spray patterns for various tasks.
  • Extended reach up to 50ft covers large areas.

Cons

  • Requires adequate water pressure to expand fully and retract properly.
  • Durability may be a concern for very heavy-duty, frequent use compared to traditional hoses.
  • The automatic retraction mechanism might be sensitive to debris.
  • Maximum length is dependent on water pressure.
  • May not be suitable for users accustomed to the weight and feel of traditional, non-expanding hoses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect one end of the expanding hose to your outdoor water tap.
  2. Attach the 7-pattern spray nozzle to the other end.
  3. Turn on the water supply slowly. The hose will begin to expand as water fills it.
  4. Once fully expanded, you can control the water flow and spray pattern using the nozzle.
  5. To retract, simply turn off the water supply. The hose will automatically shrink back.

Compatibility:

This hose is designed to work with standard outdoor water taps and connectors. Ensure your tap provides sufficient water pressure for optimal expansion (minimum pressure recommended for full 50ft expansion).

Care:

  • Always drain the hose completely before storage. Leaving water inside can reduce its lifespan.
  • Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
  • Avoid dragging the hose over sharp objects or rough surfaces that could damage the outer fabric.
  • Periodically check the connectors for leaks or damage.
