Product Information

Hose connectors typically have a diameter of 3/4 inches, which is the standard size for spigot fittings or connections to other hoses. There are other sizes as well, so you have the option of selecting appropriate size for the fittings. The flexible Grace Green Garden hose is kink resistant and remains supple in cooler temperatures. I tested that premise outdoors when the temperature was just 43 degrees Fahrenheit, and it’s true—Grace Green was flexible enough to easily loop around the base of a flagpole without kinking. The hose is ⅝ inch in diameter but just 10 feet long (though other lengths may be available), so it’s best suited as an extension to connect another hose or for watering a small area, such as potted plants on a balcony. If the storage compartment is full, there are accessory holders attached below the unit to hang bulky accessories.

In the past decade, the types of garden hoses available have grown to include lightweight, inexpensive hoses for limited watering chores and heavy-duty models for frequent or high-pressure water needs. Buyers can even find expandable garden hoses that stretch to full length when the water is on but retract to a third of that size for storage. Typical watering tasks will determine the best type of hose to choose. The Yamatic hose is ⅝ inch in diameter and 30 feet long. It’s made from bright orange polyurethane infused with UV protectants to keep the hose flexible and supple longer. The color is a little bright for my taste, but it won’t get lost in the garden. It comes with solid brass connectors and weighs in at 8.21 pounds. It took me a while to assemble this design as there are quite a few pieces to contend with and you’ll need a patch of grass or earth that is soft enough to spike into. There’s a rod included in the kit that helps you leverage the spike into the ground, but it did require a bit of effort, so bear this in mind when setting it up. I particularly like the way the hose automatically retracted smoothly with the help of the guide, so there were no kinks to contend with.Reflective of the price, this hose is more cheaply made than others and you do need to take care not to leave water in the hose– otherwise it may break, start leaking or even burst. Is it for doing the gardens, washing the car, cleaning down patios etc? Then pace out the distance from the tap where it will be connected to the farthest area where you will need the hose to reach. the average pace size is about 2.5 feet. Count up the paces, and then multiply by 2.5 and you will get the length you need in feet. That is the length of hose that you will need. Additionally, you can connect the hose to a pressure washer if you’re mostly doing your outdoor cleaning with the equipment. The brass connector won’t leak or rust over time. The downside of this hose is that is can only be used as a basic hose and not with a pressure washer.

Coil the hose to see if it kinks easily. If it does, you can tell right away that it will give you trouble. And if it flexes, it is likely the hose will kink less. Being waterproof and flexible are the two most important aspects when it comes to selecting hose materials. By now, you probably have found that none of the water hoses are safe for drinking water. Thankfully, this one is!When you fill the hose with water, its length will keep growing until it has reached 50 feet. There are other options for size as well to let you choose according to your requirements. As soon as you drain the water out, the hose will shrink to a compact size, which makes it easy to store. The length of the hose it 25 feet, but it is available up to 100 feet. The hose can be used in a watering garden, washing vehicles, and other watering applications. It comes with brass fittings and ribbed rubber sleeves at each end that provide a sturdy, nonslip hold while attaching the hose to the spigot or nozzle. Without water, the Bionic Steel hose is rather limp and slippery, and just carrying it was interesting since it wanted to slip out of my arms. Once it was filled with water, I understood what the hype was all about. The Bionic Steel hose remained flexible enough to pull it around corners, and it didn’t kink, although I tried to loop it into a knot. This expandable hose is more expensive than other expandable hoses on the market, but it was been recently redesigned, correcting the mistakes of other weaker and lower quality hoses.
