Pope 12mm Brass Power Nozzle

Typically, we recommend people go for a 12mm hose as it achieves everything you'd need a hose for, it's the "not too much not too little" of hose diameters.

If you have a sprinkler system, or like to give your car a strong wash, then you should opt for an 18mm, as that sends more volume through. Alternatively, if you don't need much pressure at all, and just want to water a few items, then smaller sizes below 12mm would be better for you.

Our products are naturally kink resistant, but depending on the temperature (especially in winter), hoses naturally do tend to kink when stored incorrectly.

To never worry about hose kinks, we highly recommend buying a hose cart or reel with your hose to make it last longer. This ensures your hose can be stored properly, doesn't get any accidental damage, and makes storage super easy.

Hoses are best stored in places that are outside of direct sunlight and rain, as these can wear down the UV treatment and break down the PVC slowly. This could mean just simply putting it in your garage, shed, or in a covered area.

Sprinklers are best turned on during the night or early morning before the sun rises. This helps reduce natural evaporation which saves you water.

A tap timer is a simple way to automate your watering for your garden. They work by directly attaching to your tap and either manually or automatically setting a timer for the length of the watering cycle.

Basic irrigation controllers work on a push-button basis, you press the mode you want, and it does it for you. Smart irrigation controllers on the other hand adapt to your environment, particularly through rain sensors and temperature sensors. This reduces the amount of water used.

Connectors are fittings that attach hoses to water sources (taps), other hoses, or watering tools (sprinklers, sprayers) in your irrigation system. They come in various types and materials to suit different applications.

Most hose hand sprayers will have at least two or three basic spray pattern. Here's a breakdown of the common spray patterns you'll find:

Mist: A fine, gentle spray ideal for delicate plants, seedlings, or creating humidity.

Shower: A moderate flow of water in a cone-shaped pattern, suitable for general watering of most plants and gardens.

Jet: A powerful, concentrated stream of water for cleaning tasks like washing your car, rinsing off dirt, or reaching into tight spaces.

Additional Patterns on Multi-Pattern Sprayers:

Some hose hand sprayers, particularly multi-pattern sprayers, might offer additional options beyond the basic three:

Flat: A wide, flat fan-shaped spray useful for watering larger areas or rinsing surfaces.

Soaker: A gentle, concentrated flow suitable for deep watering around plant bases without disturbing soil.

Angle: A spray pattern at an angle, helpful for reaching under leaves or targeting specific areas.

We believe so, without a hose reel cart, hoses can kink super easily, resulting in them breaking sooner. Hose reel carts also make packing up and storage much easier.
