Common questions
- Does a Pocket Hose kink?
- Expanding hoses kink less than rubber ones. They can still twist if pulled while slack.
- How long does one last?
- It depends on pressure, sun and draining habits. Older models drew complaints after about a year.
- Is there a satisfaction guarantee?
- The brand site mentions a 30 day guarantee. Read the warranty page before you buy.
