4.0 out of 5 stars Inside Scoop from a Salesman, July 25, 2002

This review is from: Plastair SpringHose PUW650B93OT-AMZ 50-Foot 3/8-Inch Polyurethane Coil Garden Hose - Blue Translucent (Lawn & Patio)

I have sold hoses similar to this at home shows before, and here are some of the distinctions which aren't obvious at first glance.

It is exceptionally strong material, and it does hold it's recoil ability.

The measured length is at maximum stretch. Because of the recoil ability it takes a little muscle to get there.

When it's full of water, the weight effects the recoil ability.

The transparent quality of the hose actually lets light inside and can allow the growth of algae.

It is a very clean material and is suitable for drinking water.

It has a higher PSI rating than most hoses which means it's good under pressure.

A few of them together make a decent solar water-heater.

The material is polyurethane. There are good polyurethane adhesives which will seal punctures you might get in the hose.

One of the other reviews stated that the water pressure wasn't sufficient. There are larger diameter versions of this type of hose available.

Hope that helps,

Frank Boyd

3.0 out of 5 stars Convenient, but a couple quirks, May 10, 2002

This review is from: Plastair SpringHose PUW650B93OT-AMZ 50-Foot 3/8-Inch Polyurethane Coil Garden Hose - Blue Translucent (Lawn & Patio)

This is a very nice product for its intended use (albeit one that is rather similar to many others marketed elsewhere). However, please bear in mind a couple of subtleties that may not be obvious from the item description:

(1) The length of the hose is measured at its theoretically full extension. However, the hose never actually reaches this full extension because of elastic resistance (i.e. the very same "spring" effect which is the reason you presumably bought the hose) and torsion along the length of the hose as it is stretched. My experience is that you lose approximately 25% of the hose's length to these two effects. The only way to beat this is by making sure that the hose's rated length is that much LONGER than you need.

(2) Make sure that you have the appropriate adapter permitting you to attach the hose to your faucet. Designer faucets, faucets with hose attachments, imported faucets, and outdoor faucets all may have trouble working with this hose out of the box.

Don't use this hose as your only yard hose that you plan on hauling half around the house, hooking sprinklers up to, or other "regular" hose use. It simply doesn't work too well for that type of stuff.

However, I am using this hose in the front of my house to water a particular tree and some shrubs that aren't worth hauling the big heavy green house around the house to water them.

This hose is real light, stylish, and takes up very little space. It is not the eye sore like the big green hoses. I have even gotten compliments on it from the neighbors. I have noticed that people who use Macintosh computers tend to like the hose the most. What is it with the translucent colors and Mac users anyway? :)

It did everything I wanted and more!
