FAQs

What material is the watering can made of?

The watering can is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a durable and robust plastic.

How much water does it hold?

It has a capacity of 13 liters.

Can this watering can be used with a hose?

While you fill it manually, its size makes it ideal for collecting water from a hose or water butt to then distribute around the garden.

Is it suitable for indoor plants?

Yes, it can be used for indoor plants, but its 13L capacity might be excessive for small indoor pots. A slower, controlled pour is recommended.

How should I clean the watering can?

Rinse with water after use. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.

Will it withstand frost?

While durable, it's best to empty and store the watering can indoors during prolonged periods of freezing temperatures to prevent potential damage from ice expansion.

What is the benefit of the green colour?

The green colour is a traditional choice for garden tools and helps it blend into the garden environment.

Troubleshooting

Watering can leaks from the base or seam.

Inspect the base and seams for any cracks or damage. If damage is found, the can may need to be replaced. Ensure the can is not overfilled beyond its intended capacity.

Water flow from the spout is weak or inconsistent.

Check the spout and rose (if applicable) for blockages from debris, soil, or mineral deposits. Rinse thoroughly and use a small brush or pin to clear any obstructions. Ensure the can is tilted correctly for optimal flow.

Handle feels unstable or loose.

Examine the connection point of the handle. For most models, the handle is molded into the can body. If it feels loose, it may indicate a manufacturing defect or stress fracture. Avoid excessive force when carrying.

Care: To ensure longevity, rinse the watering can thoroughly after each use, especially if using fertilizers or treatments. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
