tarev said:I found this other hose at our local OSH, called HydroHose..since my other flexible hose is a goner now, I will try how this one goes. So far, I like that it comes in cute designs..I got the one with a ladybug design. Price is a little higher than the pocket hose..this one is $29.97 + taxes. Keeping fingers crossed that it will be better.
Got to try it out this morning. No metal fittings here, more like rubber-like fittings, looks a bit sturdier than the plastic fittings of the pocket hose. There is a rubber washer you can add or remove when you attach to the faucet. The nozzle that came with it is like a fireman's nozzle, so you can twist off and on at the nozzle, and adjust the spray the way you like it. But I think I would still use my other nozzle, where it clearly defines what time of spray will come out. Now the sad thing is, it is a tad short, I guess I need more than 40 ft.; I thought I had enough oh well..but it still works, I just have to remember to use my other longer, heavier hose to reach the orchid area.
Now it is too early to tell how sturdy the material is for the hose itself. So far it does not kink, but when I was changing water spray mode, there is a considerable slack on the hose, but the water still comes out, though seems less pressure. I like that the other end attached to the faucet was not leaking, the pocket hose leaked.
This hose is also lightweight, similar to the pocket hose, but it does not retract like the pocket hose after you turn off the main faucet.
