It worked last year. I stored it inside during the winter. I attached it outside and turned on the water. It leaks from the front of the nozzle.

Look in the center of the spray adjustment wheel. There should be a screw. Try tightening it and that may stop your problems with it leaking.

Dawn, the adapter comes with a plug, so when winter comes you disconnect the hose and push the plug into the hole. It seems to be working so far this winter. The barrel I drained and moved into our garden shed. Hugh

You have to leave the nozzle open to let it drain out, it will shrink back if it drains, maybe not as much as it look on the ad. I you have high water pressure it may burst the hose one of mine did in the front of my house (higher pressure there). Also keep it out of the sun when not using. I love the convenience but was disappointed when one hose popped.

Our has worked great.. I would contact the seller and send it back.. Are you using purifies water.. It's a small mist that comes out

We bought two, both of which immediately began leaking from the top. (Which was our problem to begin with.) We paid so little for the part, (under $20) that we didn't bother with the return. What we did was put glue on the top which was leaking and it has worked just fine. Its been about 3 months.

I have had that problem in the past. I let it dry for a few days and sometimes it works but often times it does not. I just replace the unit. Not a good solution, but it is a solution.

My sprinkler is packed away for the winter right now, but if I remember, I will measure. In the mean time, it has worked with every common garden hose I have. I have purchased garden hoses at Home Depot, local nurseries and even TJ Maxx and they all work on this sprinkler.

I'm doing it. Even freezing temperature shouldn't effect it. It floats, keeps debris out, adds insulation, and it has been unaffected by two months in the water under our winter cover.

I had the same question when mine arrived a year ago. But after plugging it in just before freezing temps, it did the job just fine. The water doesn't even feel warm to the touch, which I'm sure our pet appreciates. So, it just works...

I just got mine but when it rains the water seems to bead up on it. I think it's going to work good keeping it outside all year.

Yes. It has worked year round for us. It takes very little to work. Just put it in the pond and give it a few days.

I didn't look when I got it. I have used it for couple months now with no problems. Even had construction people working on my house use it and they have not managed make it leak or fail. The trick is to not leave water in the hose after use. Empty and put away. I have a very small basket under the hose nozzle where it is stored when empty of water and water pressure. Works great, stores in a very small place, and I believe this hose type will take over the market for home use.

I would certainly not keep water in it through the winter. I bring my rain barrel inside--either my garage or my storage shed. I think it would make it through he winter if empty but I do not plan to do that.

We used it in both the spring and the fall. It worked last year very well. We have well water, though, and it used a lot of water to treat our 1 acre lot with it, so we didn't use it this year. They've come back, but if we would have used it again this year in the spring, we would still be good.

Yes I had the exact same problem. It worked for a little over a year and then stopped collecting water. I had it checked out and found out there were holes in the condenser piping and all the freon was gone. This is why it stopped collecting water. It was too expensive to fix so I bought a new one.

It really depends on how big the leak is and whether it's caused by a hose or a small seep in a seal. In general, if you have a small leak (seap) in a gasket for example, this product works well. I had a small leak in my heater core that's now been sealed for almost 6 months. I don't believe that this product would work for major leaks or bad hoses. Once you make sure that you don't have a faulty hose, and if the leak appears to be coming from a gasket or your heater core, I think it's worth giving a shot.

I used it on PVC pipes outside in termperatures above freezing and it didnt stop the leak as the said it did on the "Shark Tank" pitch.
