Plan to use this for watering flowers. Will it attach to a standard spigot? Similarly, will it also attach to standard accessories (spray nozzle)?

I wondered the same when I ordered the Apex hose for boats. It uses the same standard sizes at both ends and will fit your house spigot as well as your spray nozzle, etc. What makes it unique (and ideal for boating) is its narrower hose width. That makes the hose lighter, less cumbersome and easier to rewind on my wall holder. A good buy.

Yes the connectors will work with standard hose and nozzle. That is how I am using them now.

We were attaching ours to a kitchen faucet, so we bought an adaptor at the hardware store that allows us to snap the hose on and off. If you are going to use it on an outdoor faucet, it should work as is. It is a normal-size end. It looks small in the picture, but I think that is misleading.

Yes, but you will want to have a pressure reduction if you are attempting to hook to a garden spigot/hose. If you gravity feed from a bucket or reservoir, they are fine.

It has nothing to do with hose size as long as the ends of the house have national standard hose threads. They screw on and have quick connect capability similar in principle to air hose quick connect ends. They work very well and I purchased extra fittings for the lawn sprinkler, hose nozzle and fertilizer applicators eliminating constantly having to break out the wrench to tighten and loosen each connection each time I had to change an applicator as well as stopping leaks at the connection point.

Yes it hooks up to a standard garden hose. We used it to blow out our camper lines. Worked great.

It is an end piece...you attach it to a watering wand that has a shut off on the wand. Yes you can attach it right to you hose.

It has standard garden hose fittings. You may need an adapter on the outlet port of the water pump. The hose is thick walled and stiff, I would not use it in a greenhouse watering application. A more flexible hose would work better in confined spaces. This hose is optimized for long term hook ups between a camper and drinking water supply.

We got a hose and shower adapter included with ours. The shower adapter fits between the wall and the shower head to redirect the water to the hose. I don't know if that adapter would work on an outdoor spigot. I can tell you that our dog LOVES this shower. She used to freak out at bath time, but now she is calm and seems to love it. I think she is getting a more thorough bath and certainly a more thorough rinse afterwards.

I think it would work fine. It doesn't matter if it's connected to a spigot or a hose.

I had the same issue, as I was watering a vegetable garden that wasn't close to my spigot. I used a regular 25' hose and then added the soaker hose to that.

If I am using these with automatic timers, do I attach it at the spigot going to the timer? Or, from the timer going to the hose?

yep. garden hose attachment is standard. That's why I bought it. The other pumps required fittings. This one is ready to go

It has a female hose end on it so it will attach directly to a garden hose. I use a 10 foot hose. I have mine at about 7 1/2 to 8 feet off the ground with the nozzles pointed out and it works fantastic. Everyone who has been over for summer parties wants one .

Yes, it attaches to the hose or, if you have a regular sprayer, you can attach it to that. It is the best mister on the market - we have them on all our hoses and the plants love the gentle spray! By the way, we normally go through about 3 sprayers each summer and my last one of these lasted for years!

Not sure what you mean by "normal garden hose" but I have it connected to a 5/8" kink resistant hose to the first sprinkler and a lower quality 5/8" hose to the second sprinkler and it works very well.

It attaches to my standard garden hose. And BTW, I love it. It's made to last!Bill
