FAQs
What is the capacity of this watering can?
This is the 4.5L model.
Is the watering rose removable?
Yes, the watering rose is fully detachable, allowing for different watering styles.
How does the hinged handle benefit use?
The hinged handle is designed to provide optimum balance as the water is poured out and also folds down for space-saving storage.
What material is the watering can made from?
It is constructed from galvanized steel with fully sealed seams and rivet holes.
Does using this watering can support any causes?
Yes, every sale from the Kew Gardens Collection ensures a contribution to the valuable conservation work undertaken by The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.
How should I clean the watering can?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Empty completely after each use and store in a dry place.
Will the copper-coloured parts tarnish?
The 'burnished' copper-coloured handles and rose may develop a natural patina over time, which is normal for copper alloys. A mild metal polish can be used sparingly if a brighter finish is desired.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from seams
Ensure the watering can is not damaged. This model features fully sealed seams, so significant leaks indicate a defect. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
Watering rose does not fit securely
Check the spout for any debris or damage. Ensure you are using the correct rose for this model. Firmly push the rose onto the spout until it feels secure.
Handle feels stiff or loose
Inspect the hinge mechanism for any obstructions. The handle should move smoothly. If it feels excessively loose, check the rivets. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Water flow is uneven or clogged
Remove the watering rose and clean it thoroughly under running water. Check the spout opening for any blockages.
