Tips for Using your Expandable Hose


There are a few things that it is worth knowing about when choosing your expanding garden hose, or indeed any expanding hose for use around the home or in the garden. 78Seven Brands have a range of garden hoses available in lengths from 25 feet up to 100 feet, all coming with high quality metal fittings.

Key Features-
Some of the key features of expandable garden hoses are that they can expand their length when the water pressure is on, contracting to their original length as soon as the water pressure is turned off - all automatically.  Compared to normal garden hoses, expandable hoses weigh about five times less, making them much easier to manoeuvre around the garden or wherever you are using them.  They are self-draining when not in use, so no need to waste time and energy draining excess water once you have finished with them. Due to their construction, they never tangle, twist or kink so you won't have to spend time trying to straighten them out like you might with traditional garden hoses.  Due to their compact size when not in use, they can be stored in small spaces very easily. As you can see, these hoses' features really do make them much more useful than traditional hoses.

Durability - Some people may question the durability of these types of hoses over traditional ones, with complaints of leaks and bursts.  In tests, it has been shown that the main cause of such leaks and bursts is almost always down to two things, poor quality materials used by the manufacturer and improper use with users not following the instructions properly.  With the 78Seven Brand hoses you will not have to worry about the quality and, provided you follow the simple instructions, you will have years of use without any issues.

Care - There are a few things to take care of when you are using the hoses to ensure long and problem-free use.  Always ensure the water is turned off when the hose is not in use.  Don't leave the hose out in direct sunlight for extended periods, and never leave it out in any kind of extreme weather conditions - keep it safely stored inside when it's not being used.  And when you are using it, take care not to damage it on rough concrete or sharp edges as thus will damage the outer lair of the hose.

Keeping all these things in mind, you should be able to use your expandable hose for many years.
