cytine   40 #2 Posted July 20, 2018 I've had a couple of these expanding hoses and they are brilliant. The first one started leaking because I have to drag it over concrete, on grass etc it should be fine. If they have burst after a week return it to wherever you bought it from.

bertyboop   10 #3 Posted July 20, 2018 I bought one a few months ago and was fine until the connector for it bust. I took it back to bnq and they said you'll have to contact the company as they don't stock the parts anymore due to it being a known fault! They're still selling them I've seen them around. The guy at bnq recommended a different brand but didn't want to make the same mistake and pay another £30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bertyboop   10 #5 Posted July 21, 2018 No, we couldn't prove it was bought from bnq as we didn't have the receipt any more. Sure it's exhose or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jaffa1 Â Â 10 #8 Posted July 21, 2018 My neighbour bought one and his burst after a couple of weeks. I've just bought a new one from b&q but not one of those expanding ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
spider1   11 #9 Posted July 22, 2018 My neighbour bought one and his burst after a couple of weeks. I've just bought a new one from b&q but not one of those expanding ones.  The trouble is once you have tried them the ordinary ones are horrible. Just bought a 30 mtr one from screwfix for £30 with a 3 years guarantee a lot stronger:hihi: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
medusa   16 #10 Posted July 22, 2018 My first one only lasted one summer before the stretchy inner split and came away from the tap connector in a way that I couldn't repair. The one I have now is half way through its second summer, and I think I paid £14 for it from Ebay. Apart from feeling wasteful because I couldn't repair the damaged one, I prefer them to the weight and rigidity of big heavy hoses, although you do have to remember to let them drain properly after use to reduce pressure on the inner.

bertyboop   10 #12 Posted July 22, 2018 Hoselock was the one I was recommended after the exhose. Same price but a more normal adapter for if it breaks. Think I'll be going with that one next time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
