The Official XHose Expanding Garden Hose Pipe with BONUS adaptor, 75ft, Blue

Product Information

Expanding hosepipes can be connected from the tap to the pressure washer but remember that it may shrink once switched on.

Most expandable hoses aren’t as lightweight as this Flexi-Hose expandable hose , making it a great choice if you need to haul it around to different parts of the garden. It comes with an eight-pattern spray nozzle, solid brass fittings for the hose pipe, and can withstand water temperatures up to 113°F. I connected this hose to my tap and allowed the hose to expand fully, I then sprayed my flowerbeds with the water. I repeated this over several days and I also: If you want to use it for sprinklers or anything that requires a constant flow of water, it won’t stay expanded at its full length and will shrink unless you can control the flow rate, so look for hoses that allow you to do this.

Drinking-water safe hoses: A regular garden hose isn’t typically drinking-water safe. Hoses that are safe for drinking are guaranteed not to have lead, BPA, or phthalates and are suitable to water a vegetable garden or to fill a child’s pool. On closer inspection, I saw sellotape around the base of the box, a tell-tale sign that a previous customer had returned this product. Unlike a basic hose, this EasyHose collapsible garden hose expands from 25 feet to its full length of 75 feet when water is added. It’s lightweight, has sturdy brass fittings, an on/off valve, and latex material to withstand 12 bars of water pressure, one of the highest for an expandable hose.

Rubber hoses: A traditional rubber hose is one of the more durable garden hoses in the industry and is sufficient for heavy-duty watering in larger gardens. These are also more expensive than vinyl hose types since they tend to last longer, even when exposed to direct sunlight, and are more heat-resistant than most other hoses. Flat hoses: Similar to the hoses used to put out a fire, this hose contracts when water is added and is self-draining. It stores entirely flat once water pressure is reduced.

Here are The Results

I liked the choice of colours, metal brass fittings, and I got the feeling that it was well-made and would hold up well if dragged around a lot. Like similar expandable hoses, this dependable hose from Flexi-Hose stretches to three times its size, but unlike regular rubber hoses, this functional hose won’t kink and can handle between 41–113°F. The ¾-inch brass connectors have a rubber seal to reduce leaks and a shut-off valve. You shouldn’t use expandable hoses with some pressure washers (the ones that “pull” water from the source). The manufacturer offers a lifetime guarantee which left me sceptical as any product that expands and contracts will fail at some point due to wear and tear. I’ve since read a few forum comments where customers have stated they will only replace the product once. How I Tested This Hose
