Product Information

Full details

This B&Q Expandable Garden Hose in Green is ideal for homeowners seeking a lightweight and easy-to-manage watering solution that eliminates the frustration of traditional hoses. Its key benefit is expanding up to three times its length under water pressure and automatically retracting when not in use, preventing kinks and tangles. A potential consideration is its reliance on water pressure to function correctly. The hose includes essential connectors and a versatile 7-function spray gun for various tasks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does the hose extend?

The hose can extend up to three times its original length, depending on the water pressure supplied.

What is the original length of the hose?

The original length varies by product variant, but the expansion capability allows it to reach significantly further than a standard hose of the same stored size.

Can I use this hose indoors?

Yes, the hose comes with an indoor/outdoor connector, making it suitable for indoor tap connections as well as outdoor ones.

What maintenance does this hose require?

The hose requires minimal maintenance. It is recommended to store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and to avoid dragging it over sharp objects.

How do I clean the hose?

You can wipe the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth. Ensure it is fully retracted and dry before storing.

What types of spray patterns are available?

The included 7-function spray gun offers mist, jet, shower, flat, centre, cone, and full spray settings.

Will this hose work with a pressure washer?

This expandable hose is designed for standard garden tap water pressure and may not be suitable for the high pressures generated by pressure washers.

Troubleshooting

Hose does not expand fully

Ensure the water tap is fully open and that there is sufficient water pressure. Check for any kinks or blockages in the hose or at the tap connection. Ensure the connector is securely attached.

Hose does not retract completely

Make sure all water has drained from the hose. Check for any debris or obstructions within the hose material. Ensure there are no kinks preventing retraction.

Leaking at the connector

Check that the connector is screwed on tightly to both the tap and the hose. Ensure the rubber washer within the connector is present and in good condition. Replace the washer if it is damaged.

Spray gun not working correctly

Ensure the spray gun is securely attached to the hose end connector. Check that the water is turned on. Try cycling through the different spray patterns to ensure the mechanism is not stuck.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Attach the hose end connector to the other end of the expandable hose.
  3. Connect the 7-function spray gun to the hose end connector.
