The first hose I bought broke the faucet connection after 6 weeks of use making it totally unusable for the last of the gardening season. The second hose for which I faithfully and carefully followed the instructions lasted the gardening season. I hooked the hose for this season, very carefully hooking it to the faucet and used it to water my container plantings.
The nozzle end separated completely from the fitting. I was sprayed and soaked before I could get to the faucet - 6 feet away - and turn the water off. So your pocket hose has broken at both ends no matter how careful I was in the use. I am hoping you will put this on line as a warning to all those who believe this hose is meant for a garden season. I have already discussed this with my neighbors, family and friends who were interested in buying the hose and advised against the purchase.
