That's a good question. I don't really know, but I returned my second pocket hose today with no problem. I'm still waiting for my third pocket hose to spring a leak. Be sure you check out the over five hundred complaints on this pocket hose. I didn't. Good luck. P.S.,I got my money back today.

Same hose, same packaging but also have same issue - they develop leaks very very quickly I would not buy one again.

Great question and I wanted to update everyone about the hose. The new 2016 model is now selling here and the hose is more flexible and built stronger (much more dependable). We are so excited about this as its a great improvement because you should not see any more issues with this :)Thanks DustinGreatVacs

I have personally owned 9 of these hoses, three original and 6 replacements that the company sent me to replace those which burst at the connectors. I love the hoses, they are lightweight, but until the company figures out how to make the material stronger, they will continue to have problems like this. I finally gave up and threw all 9 hoses into the trash and went back to a standard garden hose from the home center. By the way... I think most of these positive comments from reviewers are due to the fact that they review the hose before they own it long enough for it to burst. I loved my hoses for about 6 months, but then they all burst. Sorry.... just trying to help.

I've had my reel for 3 years and experienced no problems with the connection. This past year I left my hose and reel outside all winter, (drained all the water of course). Of course it all depends on if you're one of those persons who repeatedly unwinds the reel fully and then trys to pull a few more inches off of your hose! It's just not going to do that! The connection is durable but won't take constant abuse. I added a 3 foot section of hose to the original 3 foot and zip-tied the hose at the connection end to the reel frame. I still have the flexibility to move the reel but there is no strain on the connection. I'm on my 4th year and no leaks. I've had my reel for 3 years and experienced no problems with the connection.

I guess you mean the pressure hose. Try Home Depot. I got one there - a stronger one. Make sure the connectors are identical. The original one lasted for one usage. Piotr

That's the problem I encountered & complained about. This same product was advertised at Menards (regional home improvement company) only 3 weeks after this arrived from Amazon: the Waterpik there had an articulated metal hose, this has a nylon/plastic hose. When you attempt to move this one around, to change the direction of the spray, the nozzle loosens (unscrews, potentially causing leaks) because the hose is rigid. It made me feel like my version had been dumped on Amazon; my trust in Waterpik's reputation was ruined by my experience. Suggestions? Make do until (unless) you can replace it.

I have the 50' GY, and it is a quality hose. I have also started using in the shop, the Kolbalt curled type hose, it is very flexible, even in cold weather, and has a Lifetime Warranty - under $15.00

I am working on my second hose. I doubt you have any recourse at 14 months, except to post your hoses poor performance. Because they are useful on my boat, I replaced the damaged one, knowing it won't last long. Be careful about kinking or overstretching the hose, as I believe the pinholes start at those places. I would recommend this hose to someone who understands it won't last long.

Wooops, miscommunication somewhere or mayb I didn't post that this thing was a waste of time and money and fell apart faster than the first one I've bought. Mr Ross bottom line, only buy the one made by D(something) has brass fittings, otherwise you'll be returning any hose made with plastic fittings. The common problem, they are destroyed in a few wks of sunlight

I have not had an issue with the hoses I have purchased. I am being careful not to yank them around or pull them across sharp edges.

I would not even buy the hose. Look at the reviews. Bought four and all failed within weeks

Yup. Same thing here. They are just stock hoses. They are always terrible though. Invest in some good nommar ones

Found many listings for hose's on Amazons site. That said save yourself a problem and buy one made of metal not the plastic that these come with. I have had to replace 4 already over the last 3 years due to the connector breaking.

It has been over two years that I have mine; in regular once per week use. The original hose is still intact and in use (many complain it breaks; not mine). Have had no complaints so far.

I believe the manufacturer offers one-year warranty. You'd need receipt of purchase and call to confirm. I wasn't concerned about this and my hose is still working satisfactorily...
