Why do garden hoses leak?

The most common reasons garden hose ends leak and spew water around the hose-end fitting are a worn-out washer or cracks that have developed from repeated bending. Both are relatively easy repairs and only take a few minutes.

Does hose length affect water pressure?

The average home water pressure is about 40 pounds per square inch (psi). However, it's also important to remember that the length of your garden hose will affect the flow rate and water pressure. The longer your hose is, the lower your water flow rate will be.

How do I keep my garden hose from tangling?

Stretch the hose out on a downhill slope to drain the water. Wrap the hose around the base of a garbage can to create a loose set of coils. Wrap a length of hook-and-loop tape or soft cloth around the loops to keep them coiled. Hang the looped hose around two L-hooks.

How long a hose do I need?

Hose Length
For small yards, patios, and balconies, 25 feet should be enough. Larger yards may need 50 feet to reach the farthest corners. If you need to go past 50 feet, consider buying a 50-foot and a 25-foot, or two 50-foot hoses. 100 feet of garden hose full of water is very heavy to lug around.

Do expandable garden hoses work?

An expandable hose expands three times in length when in use and is 5 times lighter then traditional garden hose. So you don't have to worry about storage problems any more, just take it out, turn the water on and see the hose expands to it working length in seconds.

Can expandable hoses be used with pressure washers?

Yes and no… The manufacturers guidelines stipulate that you shouldn't use the XHose product with a pressure washer. An Xhose is a unique hose designed for compact storage and large amounts of length and anti-kink properties.

Can expandable garden hoses be repaired?

I have found the hoses tend to get a leak just outside the fittings. You can repair them by just taking the fitting apart, cutting off the last two inches and then putting it back together, reusing the existing fittings.

Can you leave hose on with nozzle?

yep. If you turn the hose tap on, water will flow out through the hose tap into the hose. Hoses are stretchy and bendy and can swell to take up extra water before they spring a leak / they become detached from the hose tap / the nozzle blows off . Yes, it does.

Efraim Wirz

Can expandable hoses be joined together?

Yes, the expandable hose can be attached to an existing hose. If your existing hose has push in connectors you will need to get a push in adapter that has a threaded female end to be able to join the two hoses. Answer: As a general guide, all expandable hoses are non repairable.
