Been trying for years to fit my hook tap this is absolutely brilliant easy to fit who ever came up with this idea needs to get a pat in the back
No more twisting hard to turn plastic keys on tap attachments! This uses a simple push to lock and push back again to unlock design that’s SO EASY TO USE!
Simple, but brilliant idea.
Fits kitchen mixer tap really well. I screw the bottom and top bit together before screwing onto my tap. Then with a bit of torque from the provided plastic spanner it’s in-place. Attach the bottom bit by sliding on and it’s good to go. Comes off very easy. Nothing to dislike, highly recommended.
I previously bought something similar for same purpose but this one is a lot easier to install. No harm to your current tap unlike others (some of them squeeze the tap from top, so might dent it). East to lock and unlock, no water leaking.
Don”t leave outside when it freezes. But does the job well in spring/summer/autumn. You may well need some PTFE tape to get a nice sealed connection with the tap and whatever you attach underneath.
Mine has an Eve Aqua smart home watering control and a hose – which fit nicely together.
Our taps have been changed into a 2in1 so I need to get a connector,this is very easy to fit you don’t have to be a plumber or anything it literally took me 5 minutes to do,and now the hosepipe can easy connect to the tap
I have been a user of hoselock for quite some time. However, I was starting to get frustrated at some of the products which were quite flimsy (main problem for me was water seal is pretty poor) and even the hint of cold weather resulted in them cracking. This product appears to be holding up nicely and feels robust. Overall very pleased.
We did have a hozelock one with a swivel end bit but it started leaking! Bought this and it is easy to fit and better taps, Gardena is always better quality although sometimes more expensive but you get what you pay for in the end.
Sadly the spanner only works once. After that the plastic inner edges deteriorate to the point it can no longer get a grip to unscrew the faucet tip.
Otherwise it works perfectly.
This is a far more attractive water distributor than the Y splitter that it has replaced. As with all Gardena products, its build quality is second to none. It comes with two hose adapters which fit onto each of the 3/4″ threaded outlets. I kept one in place for our garden hose and attached a water timer to the other outlet, connected to a micro-drip watering systems for our pot plants.
We have a standard British garden tap with a ” thread. The Gardena is designed to work with both 1″ and ” taps via an enclosed adapter. I tried screwing the Gardena adaptor tightly onto my tap but had a significant leak. I solved the problem by using thread tape, which had usefully been provided with the water timer that I was testing. I think the problem is mainly related to my old garden tap than any fault of the Gardena device. The plastic ” connections at the bottom end fitted perfectly to my water timer with zero leaks, whilst the supplied hose adaptor also worked perfectly.
I am very pleased with the product and it looks as if will last for many years, providing that it is removed each year before the onset of frosty weather in winter.
I was slightly dubious on receipt that the item is made of plastic as the previous connector was metal. But it’s absolutely brilliant as there is no dripping at all compared to the former model when the tap is turned on. The only slight problem I found was that it needs to be screwed around the tap at the wall rather than using a push-up male/female connector. I encountered a bit of scraping on each side of the Gardena as it spun around hitting the wall at each turn! My tap is not noticeably close to the wall but I missed this detail when I ordered the Gardena. However, once installed I am very happy with it.
Another bonus, is when the connecting unit is removed, it doesn’t look too bad, in fact it looks quite ok, and with the included aerator softens the water nicely. So all in all a good result. May not be the cheapest, but certainly looks the part, and does the job well.
We were planning to have an external tap fitted at some point but for the time being we just wanted a quick way to attach a hose to an indoor tap. We had nothing but trouble finding one that worked, our taps were too wide, too curved, too much of the wrong angle etc. With this device you unscrew the very tip of the tap, a part called an aerator, and replace that with this device, essentially a replacement aerator. You can then clip your hose onto it, with a mechanism that locks it in place. When you aren’t using your hosepipe you can leave the replacement aerator on the tap, it just looks like you’ve got a longer aerator. Took about 5 minutes to swap it all around. I’ve kept the old aerator but so far no complaints about how it looks when the hose isn’t in use. You can find videos online for how to replace your original aerator (apparently they can get clogged up over time) so all I did was follow those and then screw up this device in rather than a new aerator.
