Product Information

Can more than one Superhoze be joined together, and what are the maximum lengths that can be joined? As Superhoze is filled with water and expands, the two independent layers glide smoothly over each other, ensuring a continuous water flow.

I disliked the colour, and as it doesn’t come with a reel, I’ll have to look at it draped over the tap whenever I’m in the garden.

Like a lot of people, I have low water pressure at my property and it took over a minute for the expandable pipe to reach its full length. uk/browse/garden-and-diy/hoses-and-garden-watering/hoses-and-sets/c:29514/brands:hozelock/" on this server. Flexi Hose came with an inline tap so I could adjust the flow rate, this stopped the pipe from shrinking.

Can the Superhoze be used on a hose reel, or does it need to be fully unwound to allow the expansion? I purchased XHose and found it nearly identical to the Superhoze, except it had even more plasticky connectors and didn’t come with a nozzle or spray gun, which had to be purchased separately. These issues don’t affect every expandable hose, many of the competitors have either fitted an inline tap or provided a decent spray gun/nozzle with lots of options and the ability to adjust the flow rate. A simple solution would be to fit an inline tap on the hose, so I could adjust the flow rate, and some competitors have done this, but not Hozelock. All the fittings you need – complete with tap connectors, soft touch hose attachments, feeder hose and an adjustable spray nozzle, your Auto Reel comes with all the necessary parts you need to get watering straight away.I don’t recommend the Hozelock or XHose products at all, but TheFitLife’s expandable hose appeared far better, and I was impressed with the brass quick-release fittings, the extra padding on the sleeve and the spray gun. My old hosepipe started kinking recently, and as I have limited space in my garden, I selected the expandable Hozelock Superhoze to replace it. It did have an inline tap to adjust the flow rate and didn’t leak, but I felt it was too similar to the Hozelock Superhoze.

Superhoze is made up from a highly elastic inner core and a soft, yet robust outer, meaning that there are no hard materials to fold or bend which can create kinks or tangles in some traditional garden hoses. As Superhoze is filled with water and expands, the two independent layers glide smoothly over each other, ensuring a continuous water-flow. In other words, if I wanted to create a jet of water from the nozzle, it would come out so fast that the pipe shrank from 15m to 5m in less than 30 seconds. Integrated child lock – this convenient lock prevents the hose from being pulled out by children, ensuring the hose is only pulled out when needed. This was the first product I tested that came with brass fittings, and they were quick-release, too, which was a nice touch.But if you’ve ever used this cheap nozzle before, you’ll know that when opened slightly, it sprays wide and all over the place. As superhoze is filled with water and expands, the two independent layers glide smoothly over each other, ensuring a continuous water-flow. I doubt that all expandable hosepipes would fail this quickly, and as Hozelock are a reputable brand, it could just be a case of bad luck.
