Product Information
Full details

Does the green finish offer rust protection?
The green finish provides a layer of protection, but it's best to keep the can dry and avoid significant damage to the coating to prevent rust.
Is this watering can suitable for very large gardens?
While durable, the 3-liter capacity might require frequent refills for very large gardens. It is most suitable for small to medium-sized areas.
Troubleshooting
Water leaks from spout or handle join
Inspect the spout and handle attachments for any visible damage or loose fittings. Ensure the watering can is not overfilled. If damage is present, consider replacement.
Water flow is too slow or uneven
Check the spout for any blockages, such as dirt or debris. Clean the spout opening carefully with a small brush or water jet. Ensure the can is tilted at an appropriate angle for pouring.
Finish is chipping or rusting
Minor chips can be cleaned and touched up with a compatible metal paint. For rust, gently remove with a fine steel wool (use sparingly to avoid further damage) and dry thoroughly. Prevent future rust by ensuring the can is always stored dry.
Carrying handle feels unstable
Ensure the handle is securely attached. If it appears loose, check for any rivets or screws that might need tightening. If the handle is bent or damaged, it may need professional repair or replacement.
