Product Information

Full details

The Gardena Water Connection Point is for gardeners needing a convenient water source without a traditional tap. Its key benefit is enabling easy water access for irrigation and cleaning, even in areas without existing spigots. A potential consideration is its reliance on a pre-existing pipeline connection. This device functions as an above-ground water tapping point, offering flexibility in mounting via wall attachment or ground spiking, and features a rotatable hose connector with an automatic stop valve for user convenience.

FAQs

How do I connect this to my existing water system?

The Water Connection Point features a 3/4" male thread that screws directly onto a compatible water pipeline connection.

Can I use this without the ground spike?

Yes, you can also mount the Water Connection Point to a wall using appropriate fixings.

What happens when I disconnect my hose?

The unit has an Automatic Stop Valve that immediately stops the water flow, preventing wastage and mess.

Will this prevent my hose from kinking?

Yes, the hose connection can be angled and rotated, which significantly helps to prevent the hose from kinking.

What material is the Water Connection Point made of?

It is made of durable plastic.

Is this suitable for use with high-pressure water systems?

The product is designed for standard garden water pressure. Always ensure your pipeline system is within the product's operating limits.

Does it come with a hose?

No, the product is the water connection point itself. A separate garden hose is required.

Troubleshooting

No water flow from the connection point.

Ensure the connected pipeline has water pressure. Check that the 3/4" connection is securely fastened. Verify that the automatic stop valve is not obstructed.

Water leaks from the connection.

Check the seal on the 3/4" thread connection. Ensure the hose is properly attached to the connector. Inspect the unit for any cracks or damage.

Hose connector is stiff or difficult to rotate.

Gently clean the rotating joint. Avoid forcing the rotation. If persistent, check for debris lodged in the mechanism.

Ground spike is not stable.

Ensure the ground is firm and compact. If the soil is very loose, consider using additional support or a wall-mounting option.
