It is a 10-meter spiral hose pipe kit. Package dimensions are 55.0 x 10.5 x 10.5 cm and it weighs 1.0 kilograms.
The Claber 9034 Watering Hose Extension Kit is designed for users with small outdoor spaces like patios, balconies, or small gardens, offering a convenient 10-meter length. Its key benefit is the space-saving spiral design and the included Aquastop system, which allows for easy nozzle changes without shutting off the tap. A potential consideration is that it is a hose-only kit, meaning you'll need to ensure you have compatible tap adapters and nozzles if not using the included ones.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the Aquastop system?
The Aquastop system allows you to disconnect the spray nozzle or other accessories from the hose without having to turn off the water at the tap. This prevents water from spraying out and saves you the effort of walking back to the tap.
Is this hose suitable for very small balconies?
Yes, its 10-meter length and space-saving spiral design make it ideal for small spaces like balconies, patios, and terraces.
Does the kit include everything needed to start watering?
The kit includes a 10-meter spiral hose, a 3/4" tap connector, a spray nozzle with adjustable jet, and two automatic couplings (one with Aquastop). It provides a complete watering solution for most small areas.
How do I clean the spiral hose?
You can clean the PVC hose with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and allow it to dry completely before storing.
Can I extend the hose length?
This is a 10-meter hose kit. While you can purchase additional compatible couplings to connect multiple hoses, the spiral design is optimized for its specific length. Extending it significantly might affect its retraction capabilities.
What is the material of the hose?
The hose is made of PVC, a durable and flexible material suitable for garden use.
Can this hose be left outside?
It is recommended to store the hose away from prolonged direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its material integrity and lifespan. Storing it on the included wall bracket can help keep it organized and protected.
Troubleshooting
Water leaks from the tap connector
Ensure the 3/4" tap connector is securely tightened to the tap. Check the rubber washer inside the connector for damage and replace if necessary.
Water leaks from the hose couplings
Check that the automatic couplings are properly clicked into place. Inspect the O-rings within the couplings for wear or damage and replace them if needed.
Hose not retracting fully
Gently pull the hose to its maximum extension and release. Ensure there are no kinks or obstructions. Check for debris caught within the spiral structure.
Aquastop not working (water flows when nozzle is detached)
Verify that the Aquastop coupling is correctly installed on the nozzle end. Ensure the nozzle is firmly attached to the coupling. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism of the Aquastop coupling may need inspection or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Attach the 3/4" tap connector to your outdoor tap. Ensure it is securely tightened.
Connect one end of the spiral hose to the tap connector. If using the Aquastop coupling, attach it to the tap connector first.
Attach the spray nozzle or any other accessory to the other end of the hose. If using the Aquastop system on this end, connect the nozzle to it.
Turn on the water supply.
Compatibility:
The kit is designed for standard 3/4" garden taps.
Accessories with compatible quick-connect fittings will work with the included couplings.
The Aquastop system is proprietary to Claber's automatic couplings but functions with most standard spray nozzles.
Care:
After use, allow the hose to retract fully. Gently guide it if necessary to prevent snags.
Store the hose away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong the life of the PVC material.
Clean the hose and accessories periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the tap connector and couplings are free of debris before attaching.
