Product Information

Full details

This 100FT Expanding Garden Hose Pipe by Accessotech is designed for homeowners seeking a lightweight, tangle-free, and easy-to-store solution for watering gardens, washing cars, and general outdoor cleaning. Its key benefit is expanding up to three times its original length under pressure, reaching 100FT, and automatically retracting for convenient storage. A potential caveat is its durability over extended periods of high-pressure use, as with all expanding hoses.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long is the hose when fully expanded?

The hose expands up to 100 feet when under water pressure.

What happens when the water is turned off?

The hose automatically shrinks back to its original, compact size within seconds after the water pressure is released.

Is this hose suitable for high-pressure cleaning?

No, this hose is designed for standard garden use and is not recommended for use with pressure washers, as high pressure can damage the expanding mechanism.

How much does the hose weigh?

The hose weighs approximately 765 grams, making it very lightweight and easy to handle.

Can I leave water inside the hose when it's retracted?

It is best to drain the hose completely after use to ensure it retracts properly and to prolong its lifespan. Leaving water inside may prevent full retraction and can lead to damage in freezing temperatures.

What materials is the hose made of?

The hose features a durable inner core and a strong anti-kink outer fabric designed for regular outdoor use.

What spray patterns are available with the nozzle?

The included multi-function spray nozzle offers 7 patterns: Shower, Flat, Centre, Cone, Full, Mist, and Jet.

Troubleshooting

Hose does not expand to full length

Ensure the water tap is fully open and water pressure is adequate. Check for any kinks or blockages in the hose. Ensure the connections are secure and not leaking.

Hose does not retract fully

Make sure all water has been drained from the hose. Check for any obstructions or debris caught within the hose material. Avoid storing the hose while still wet or containing water.

Water leaking from connections

Tighten the hose connections at both the tap and the nozzle. Ensure the rubber washers are present and in good condition. Replace washers if they appear worn or damaged.

Spray nozzle not working correctly

Check that the nozzle is securely attached. Rotate the nozzle head to ensure the desired spray pattern is selected correctly. Clear any debris that may be obstructing the nozzle openings.

Expands to a generous 100ft for extensive reach.
Automatically retracts for easy, tangle-free storage.

Includes a versatile 7-pattern spray nozzle.
Anti-kink design ensures consistent water flow.

Cons

May not be as durable as traditional hoses for very heavy-duty tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Connect one end of the expanding hose to your outdoor water tap.
Attach the included 7-pattern spray nozzle to the other end of the hose.
Ensure both connections are securely tightened to prevent leaks.
Turn on the water tap slowly. The hose will begin to expand.
Once the desired length is reached, use the spray nozzle to control the water flow and pattern.
When finished, turn off the water at the tap. The hose will automatically retract.

Compatibility:

This hose is designed to connect to standard UK outdoor garden taps.
It requires sufficient water pressure to expand to its full length. Low pressure may result in limited expansion.
Not recommended for use with high-pressure washers, as this can damage the hose.

Care:

After each use, drain the hose completely to ensure it retracts fully and to prolong its lifespan.
Store the hose in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Avoid dragging the hose over sharp or abrasive surfaces.
Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
