Expandable Garden Hose: Easy Convenience Or Garden Gimmick?

As summer approaches, the weather is getting hotter. Whether you're watering flowers in your back garden or irrigating a lush lawn. Garden hoses play an important role in this, garden expansion hoses were born decades ago and have become popular in the market in recent years.

Because of its features such as light weight, no tangling, no kinking and easy to store, which traditional hoses do not have, it has gained a large number of consumers who have trouble with the use of traditional water hoses. But is this retractable garden hose really better than the traditional hose? Or maybe this is a product that is constantly being hyped up through social media?

Today, let Union Booster guide you further into the practical experience of using a expandable garden hose and the differences/advantages and disadvantages of a traditional hose.

How Expandable Garden Hose Works

A garden telescopic hose is a flexible water hose whose structure consists of two layers, inner and outer: the inner layer is usually a thermoplastic elastomer (usually made of TPE or latex) and the outer layer is a fabric sleeve (usually made of polyester).

When we connect the hose to a water source and turn on the tap, the hose will stretch open within seconds. Once the water source is turned off, the hose will automatically shrink back to its original size.

Advantages of Expandable Garden Hose

·No Tangle & No Kink

The flexibility and material composition of telescopic garden hoses dictate that they do not tangle and kink like traditional hoses. You don't need to stop to untangle the tangles while using it, enhancing the gardening watering experience.

·Portability & Ease of Use

Expandable hoses are much lighter than conventional hoses. Even the elderly and children can use it easily. Usually the telescopic hose comes with a storage bag, which makes it easy to carry even when you go out.

·Small Space Use

City living people live in compact living space, usually the garden area will also be small, telescopic water pipe reflects the perfect space storage convenience. Even for home use there is no problem.

What You Need To Consider Before Buying A Expandable Garden Hose

·Water Pressure

Expansion hoses usually have several times the expansion, but it is important to note that the amount of water pressure can affect the length of expansion. Too little water pressure results in the hose not being able to stretch to its maximum length, while too much water pressure makes the hose prone to bursting. Household water pressure is usually sufficient to meet the water pressure requirements for telescopic water pipes. If the water pressure is slightly lower, consider purchasing a slightly longer length of water pipe.

·Temperature

Expansion water pipes are more sensitive to changes in temperature. If exposed to sunlight for a long period of time the hose is prone to deterioration or wear and tear. In cold weather, leaving it outside can cause damage to the hose. It is therefore essential to store the hose in a suitable location after use.

·Service Life

There is no denying that the best quality garden expansion hose is not as durable as a hard hose. Under prolonged use, expandable water pipes will tend to wear out in certain areas and thus gradually leak, while hard pipes can last for ten years or even more.

Application Scenarios For Expandable Garden Hose

The garden telescopic hose is used in basically the same scenarios as the traditional hard hose, but the telescopic hose is relatively quicker to connect and easy to use, and even storing it can be done very quickly. If you don't usually use it frequently and don't intend to leave a special space for the hose, then telescopic hose will be a better choice.

Tips For Maintaining And Caring Your Expandable Garden Hose

·Drain the hose after each use

·Regular and thorough cleaning and maintenance

·Keep in a cool and dry place and store reasonably

When To Use A Traditional Garden Hose

Traditional hard pipe has higher durability and is used more for irrigation in places such as industry or public places; higher water pressure tolerance and is more suitable for use in high water pressure environments, with more and more stable water output.
