can i attach this directly to the spicket or does it have to be attached to the end of the hose?

It can be attached directly to a spigot, but typically it is used on the end of a hose.

It attached to the current hose on my Self-Propelled Windtunnel. However, the "functional" length wasn't as advertised. It is also heavy. Fact is, it is sitting unused in a closet.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do. But if you mean connecting this hose to one of those movable/portable sprinklers. A coiled hose as this will want to coil back, so it is not suitable for use with a portable sprinkler. This hose does have adequate pressure for a handheld spray nozzle. Hope this helps.

You barely need any pressure from the spicket to make it work. I turn mine on just barely enough for the water to be on. Any higher and you'll snap one of the pieces it came with, which I repaired with e6000.

I attached my own hose to the one it came with, works no problem. However, it does not work with a nozzle, not enough pressure.

There's nothing to permanently attach a hose to. Best you can do IMO is rig something.

I am making an assumption that you want to hook a garden hose directly to the slide rather than using the corrugated hose (installation manual, pg. 9 1st photo). You should be able to remove and replace the adapter where the hose normally attaches to the slide. The adapter can be replaced at a hardware store like Lowes, Home Depot, etc. (maybe even a Pool store if they sell the PVC parts) with a PVC fitting that screws into the slide where the adapter came out. The one thing to keep in mind is that the threads for the PVC replacement fitting will match the adapter, but garden hose threads are different. So ask your store personnel for a PVC threaded adapter that matches the corrugated hose piece you removed AND a garden hose adapter that can be attached to the replacement PVC adapter. Hope this makes sense.

You have to use the three way adapter (it comes with the package) in order to have something to plug the hose into. (The hose is detachable) The 3way is used to maintain your regular shower head as well as the connection for the hose when you want to use the sprayer) It is really meant to stay permanently screwed onto the shower pipe since you need Teflon tape to ensure no leakage. I would take mine off to check, but then I'd have to re do the Teflon tape. (Maybe someone else here could?) If the three way was the right size for your outdoor spicket, then yes it would work. I would hesitate leaving it hooked up outside permanently though because the three way is not metal I think it's hard plastic and it could crack. It may be easier to just find an outdoor sprayer at a garden center to hook onto your outdoor hose/spicket.

A small adapter hose comes with the unit and you attach that to a regular hose and run it out to wherever you want. It is a great unit!

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

Yes, yes. Indeed. I had the same problem as the unit wanted to fill the bucket (then turn off) instead of running out the rear spicket through the hose and run for me non-stop - which was why I bought it in the first place. It works for me now .. I just have to make absolutely sure that 1) the humidifier is sitting level; 2) the hose is always lower than the spicket on the back of the humidifier and 3) there is no relative "rise" in the drain hose. That means water is always running "downhill" from the drain spicket to the floor drain. Taking these deliberate measures solved my problem (now for years). Hope it helps you. Yes, yes. Indeed.

The unit comes with a white plastic hose connector (fitting) that inserts into back of unit with instructions that read: You can use a 12mm hose to attach to the connector. I use the manual drain (bucket) process so I can't comment on how well the continuous drain process works but I would mention again that the connector is made of plastic so I would be very careful connecting a garden hose fitting (brass?) to the threaded plastic connector. FYI, overall I've been very satisfied with this unit and wouldn't hesitate to purchase another if needed.

I believe the ball valve is threaded. But I would assume if you wanted to use hoses you would need an adapter with a "spigot" tip to get hoses put on.

Attached to water input (where you normally put the garden hose). I use the whole can but you could use half.

The ends are male/female, so it ties right into your existing hose line. It can only go one way so it's dummy proof. I find it easy to put it after one link of hose so you can reach it with install and removal. Hope this answers your question.

If you unscrew the end-thingy with the little screen/filter in it, you can buy a hose converter at a hardware store and with it screwed in, you should be able to attach it. Of course, maybe the filter you want to use will fit the threads of the spout as is. I took 2 different hose adapters home because not sure which one would fit, and returned the one that didn't.

Sort of. It's meant to attach to the aqueon water changer which has the hose to the tank. I think the threads look about right to also connect a hose directly but I've never tried it.
