We are now into Spring and if you have a garden it is time to get it ready for the nicer months after the long cold and wet winter. Gardens need a lot of care and attention. That means cutting the grass, weeding, pruning, planting new flowers (if that’s your thing) etc. And despite all the rain we have been having recently, at some point everything will need a bit of water. Watering the garden grass, plants and flowers can be a pain at times, especially when needing to change attachments on hoses or, worse still, the hose pop off! The Qwickhose Starter Set, a revolutionary hose connector set, is a set of universal hose connectors that won’t pop off. That means less water leakage, a simple way to change hose attachments and keep them securely attached to the hose, leaving you free to peacefully attend to your garden.

The Qwickhose Starter Set consists of 4 hose fittings and a wall mount. Hose and wall fittings (screws, rawl plugs) are not included.

In the box:

  • Wall Mount
  • Wing-Lock Connector
  • Nozzle Spray End
  • Tap Connector
  • No-Flow Wing-Lock Connector

Anybody that has a garden or has had to look after a garden will have had the problem of hose pop offs. Whether you have been watering the grass, plant or flowers, tending to your vegetable patch, filling up the kids paddling pool or even just washing the car, at some point it has probably happened. It can be frustrating and extremely annoying when it happens, not only does it stop you from completing the job you are in the midst of, water is being wasted and going absolutely everywhere and you have to run back and turn off the water before reattaching the hose (and probably end up getting drenched in the process). The Qwickhose connectors puts a stop to that as they grip the hose much better with their wing-lock system and grip the hose more securely.

The Qwickhose Starter Set comes with a space-saving wall mount that holds the connectors. Once you add it to the wall, it can hold the four connectors, and has space to wrap your hose around (hose is not supplied), keeping everything neat and tidy. The connectors fit 12.5 to 13mm hosepipes and are universally compatible with hose accessories (e.g. spray guns and sprinklers).

The connectors are so quick and easy to fit to a hose pipe:

  1. Open the Hose Connector by unscrewing the nut and pulling apart the wings
  2. Insert your hosepipe throw the nut and push firmly over the inner tube
  3. Close the wings around the hosepipe firmly
  4. Screw the nut up securely over the wings

With the required connector attached firmly to you hose, you can screw the tap connector to your outside tap and attach your hosepipe. Add the No-Flow connector (this stops the water from flowing if an attachment like the spray nozzle is removed without the need to turn the water off at the tap) and spray nozzle to the other end of the hose and off you go.

The Nozzle Spray End is a quick-release attachment and has 3 different adjustable patterns of spray: Mist, Shower and Jet. Selecting the spray is simple, you just twist the nozzle to the pattern that you require. You can also turn off the water flow by twisting the nozzle to the off position.

Overall, the Qwickhose Starter Set is excellent, perfect for gardening, washing the car or filling those paddling pools. The connectors feel very strong and durable, and the wing-lock system does a superb job of keeping the hose securely in place so that it doesn’t pop off when using it.

The attachments are very easy to install on to a hose and the quick release function is easy to operate. The wall mounted storage is excellent, especially as you can put your hose onto it as well. You do need to purchase your own wall fixings to get the right ones suitable for the wall you want to put it on.

With the Qwickhose connectors installed onto your hosepipe they are also compatible with other garden attachments such as sprinklers. The spray nozzle supplied in the pack is an ergonomic design and is easy to hold and comfortable to use for fuss-free use.

I think that the Qwickhose Starter Set is a very good quality, hassle-free universal hose connector set. The wing-lock system is fantastic and does a excellent job of securing the hosepipe and really does eliminate those frustrating hose pop offs with the way it clamps down on the hosepipe.

An excellent system with neat storage. Perfect for helping you easily make the most of your garden and enjoy the outdoors without any fuss, no hose pop offs, or any broken teeth as you sometimes get with other hose connectors. It is also supplied in a fully recyclable packaging box printed with water-based ink.

The Qwickhose Starter Set is very easy to install, easy and reliable to use.
