Product Information
Full details
The Vivo 1.5m Short Hose Pipe is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking a durable, flexible solution for connecting garden hose reels or carts to outdoor water sources. Its primary advantage lies in its three-layer PVC construction, which offers high resistance to wear and environmental damage; however, users should note that the 1.5-meter length is specifically intended for short-distance connections rather than general irrigation across large garden beds.

FAQs
Can this hose be used for drinking water?
This hose is designed for outdoor maintenance and gardening tasks and is not certified for potable (drinking) water use.
Will this fit a standard garden tap?
Yes, it includes a 2-in-1 connector that fits both standard 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch garden taps.
What is the diameter of the hose?
The hose has an 11mm internal diameter, which is standard for most residential garden hose connections.
Does the hose kink easily?
The three-layer PVC spiral mesh construction is specifically designed to resist kinking, bending, and cracking.
Can I use this for high-pressure power washers?
This hose is intended for standard garden water pressure. Please check your power washer's manual to see if it requires a specific reinforced high-pressure hose.
Troubleshooting
The hose feels stiff or rigid during winter months.
Soak the hose in warm water for several minutes to restore its original flexibility.
Water is leaking from the tap connection point.
Ensure the 2-in-1 tap adapter is screwed on straight and that the washer inside the connector is correctly seated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable three-layer PVC construction prevents kinking and cracking
- Versatile 2-in-1 tap connector accommodates multiple faucet sizes
- Compact length eliminates excess hose mess near the water source
- Highly resistant to environmental wear and tear
Cons
- Limited reach makes it unsuitable for watering distant garden areas
- Material may stiffen in extreme cold, requiring a warm water soak to restore flexibility
- Fixed length cannot be extended without additional hardware
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, begin by identifying whether your outdoor tap requires the 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch threaded adapter and adjust the 2-in-1 connector accordingly. Secure the tap end tightly to ensure no leakage, then connect the remaining end to your garden hose reel or specific garden tool. For maintenance, keep the hose clean by rinsing off mud or debris after use. If the hose becomes stiff due to exposure to cold temperatures or if it develops a kink from storage, simply soak the pipe in warm water for a few minutes; the heat will soften the PVC material and allow it to return to its original, flexible state.
