This is an expandable hose from Ejun. It seems to be fairly durable, much more so then the first one I bought when they were new to the market. Upon ordering this it came with the hose, a multi spary garden nozzle, and an instructions manual.
To start with the instuctions manual is a single page description on how to work the hose properly. It tells you how to insert the rubber seal into the end, how to get the hose expanded completely, and how to attach the nozzle to it. Putting the seal in the hose fitting is really easy, there is no up or down to the seal. It is press it in firmly and seat it in place and that is it. Next is fully extending the hose. There is a shut off valve at the end of the hose. Switch it to the off position so the hose fills fully. Once you get it full you can turn the valve off and on as needed. Attaching the nozzle is a simple twist it to the end of the hose making sure that it seats all the way to help prevent leaking.
This hose is designed to expand up to 3 times it size once water is added to it. It is really close to being 17 feet in length. Therefore putting it to a length of over 50 feet in total once fully expanded. I had no problems what so ever getting the hose to expand fully and shrink back down once water was turned off. I have a 1 gallan pale I wind mine up in once I have finished using it. There is more then enough room for the hose to fit in it.
Now for the part I mentioned with it being more durable and much better then the first one I bought when they hit the market. The first hose I picked up for a bit more then this one in cost and did not have near the quality fittings that this hose has. These are solid and have a secure attachment to the hose. The on/off valve is also a very nice addition to the hose. These hoses are designed to be all weather hoses. I do suggest if you are going to use the hose and there is a chance for freezing to make sure you empty the hose fully. Freezing water in the hose can expand it past what it is designed for and ruin the hose. This was a mistake I made with my first expandable hose.
Now for the spray head attachment that is included in the box I picked up. There are multiple sprays from soft mist to a targeted pressure cleaning head. In this collection there are different amounts of spary jets open that also meter how much water is coming out. This sprayer head is made of a solid plastic and seems to be fairly durable. I would not recommend slamming in down on the concrete since it is plastic but if you are out in your yard and drop it, most likely there will not be any issues with it breaking.
If you are looking for a Good qualtiy expandable hose with really good fittings this is one you should consider and one I do recommend for anyone needing a garden hose. I would like to thank EJUN and affiliates for sending me this garden hose to try out and share my opinion.
