FAQs
What is the diameter of this garden hose?
The Andersons 50M Standard Flexible Garden Hose has a diameter of 12mm (or 1/2 inch).
Is this hose suitable for high-pressure washers?
This is a standard garden hose, not designed for use with high-pressure washers. Its 12mm diameter is suitable for typical garden watering and cleaning tasks, but not for equipment requiring high-pressure input.
How long is the guarantee period?
The hose comes with a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Can I leave this hose outside all year round?
It is recommended to store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use, especially during winter, to prolong its lifespan and maintain flexibility. Storing it indoors or in a shed is ideal.
What maintenance does this hose require?
Minimal maintenance is required. After use, drain the water, wipe the surface clean if necessary, and store it properly. Avoid kinks and sharp bends.
Will this hose work with standard hose connectors and nozzles?
Yes, the hose is designed with standard fittings and is compatible with most common hose connectors, spray guns, and sprinklers available on the market.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the tap connection.
Ensure the hose connector is tightened securely to the tap. Check if the rubber washer inside the connector is present and in good condition. Replace the washer if it is worn or missing.
Water flow is weak or interrupted.
Check if the hose is kinked and straighten it. Ensure the tap is fully open. Verify that the hose diameter is adequate for your needs. Clean any debris from the tap filter and hose end connection.
Hose is difficult to manoeuvre.
Ensure the hose is not excessively kinked. For very long distances, consider using a hose reel for easier winding and unwinding. Allow the hose to warm up slightly if it feels stiff in cold weather.
Exterior surface appears dirty or stained.
Wipe the hose down with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the PVC.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This hose features a standard 12mm (1/2 inch) diameter and is designed to fit most standard outdoor taps and hose accessories available in the market. Always check the thread size of your tap and accessories for a secure fit.
Care:
- After each use, drain the hose of excess water before storing it.
- Store the hose in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent UV degradation and premature aging of the PVC.
- Avoid leaving the hose connected to the tap under pressure when not in use.
- Regularly clean the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Inspect the hose periodically for any signs of damage, such as cracks or leaks, particularly at the connection points.
