The website states: What is length of Pocket Hose Ultra when contracted? (i.e., 50Ft is About 17' contracted length) Anyone understand what this means

Very small. It curls up to a circle that measures approximately 7 /8 inches across. It is quite small when retracted and I believe I have the 75 foot one. Hope this helps. I love it.

The basic idea behind these products is that the cover is fabric and the interior lining will stretch once water pressure builds up inside. Thus, the hose will be much shorter and very lightweight when the water is turned off. However, this is why these are very unreliable products. My family has had 3 - the concept is so appealing! However all of them failed - 3 different brands, even the very pricey brand that advertises its superiority - between 1 week of use(!!!) and 1 month of use. In each case the hoses were handled, used and stored exactly as recommended. I would not waste my money on these products - the concept is great, the technology is just not there yet.

When the faucet is shut off and there's no water in it , I think. Doesn't matter , the thing will pop

In it's normal unstretched state, the hose is a total of 64" long (including the fittings on both ends.) Because of the way the hose is made, it can be stretched about an additional 8" when you are using it, but returns to its original unstretched length when you stop pulling on it.

I think you have it right.I bought two of the 50' lengths, best utility/garden hose I have ever used. Much lighter to use and manipulate even when charged.No complaints here.

How neat, I just got an email notifying me of this question since I bought one from amazon. Not quite clear on what you are asking. My reel arrived with 50ft of 3/8" hose. 3/8" is what I use in my garage and was perfect for me.

I don't see why a sprinkler wouldn't work With the pocket hose, since it attaches to The nozzle just like a sprayer. The only Problem may be minor--long term durability if your pocket hose doesn't dry Out enough after each watering. Mfr. does suggest to make sure it is empty of Water ff. each use and stored after drying Out. In my experience it kind of empties Itself by contracting. Go for it!!

The hose is 3/8" ID and 50 ft in length. It is a good quality hose and I'm really pleased with it.

Hi - I'm sorry I don't have an answer as to the warranty. But before buying I did check it on Consumer Reports who tested several of these and the Pocket Hose came out about top. They put it through its paces, so it's a good recommendation. As for us we've only used it for about a month...so far, so good! Good luck

I do not have the packaging from the 50' hose I bought on Amazon. However, I liked this hose so much I bought a 100' Flexzilla here in Virginia, and it is still in its package. I do not see any warning on its package. Keep in mind that it was bought locally, not in California, and I don't know if there might be different packaging for that reason. Hoses I have had in the past have had me screaming obscenities at them; this hose is pure pleasure.

I have 2 50 ft. hoses connected and also a 100 ft. Although I haven't connected them all I don't see why you couldn't connect them all as long as you have the water pressure. They are great hoses. I left them out all winter covered by a tarp and when spring came they were as good as new.

Ours has 200 feet, 5/8 inch, in it, the only thing is, if the hose is a real good heavy gauge hose, it is a little too heavy and it did break our other one that we had for about three years. We did have one prior to that held up for many, many years but the hoses we had in it were quite a bit lighter. We like ours a lot, this is our third one.

Hi Chris .. sorry it has taken so long to answer.. I checked the hose I received and it is 5' long.The one I bought had a problem but the seller gave me information on how to contact Intex and they sent me a new hose for no cost. Hope this helps

The one I purchased was advertised at 50 feet long, have not physically verified this with a tape measure. Laying the cord on the workshop floor it looks very close to the 50 foot air hose I use everyday. Good purchase as it is easier to handle than my 50 amp cord.

While the Good Year is a good hose I find it to be difficult to "coil up" in order to hang it from hanger.. Good Year does also have a smaller diameter hose that would better suit the average homeowner do-it-yourselfer.. I've seen it at Lowes and HD..... The standard sized hose is in a box approx. 12"X13"X4" while the other is in a smaller box.. If you think you will need 50ft of hose DO NOT buy a 50fter!! Buy 2ea 25ft , they're easier to handle and IF YOU ever NEED 50ft you can connect them with the snap couplers.. The same holds true with the 50' or more, that you mentioned.. Buy 2 50's rather than the 100' hose.. EASE OF HANDELNG !!

It works great...I have a 100ft pocket hose and it fits with room to spare. I love both products!

OK, because the hose is metal it has some 'stretch' in it. It is 72" when 'stretched', but if I just let it drop to the tub, it is 63", problem is then head sits on the floor of the tub. I am finding it tough to be 'exact' because of this. Sorry I couldn't be more precise!

By "relaxed", I assume you mean not compressed or stretched. My hose measures about 9 ft 5 inch when laid out on the floor without any stress. It can easily be stretched to 10 ft or compressed to 8 ft though.

Not enough information??? How long will the piping be? Will there be more that one outlet? Will you have a power head and if there is what kind will you have,low voltage, line voltage or air power? Don't know what 2x25 means. The standard hose is 30 ft. Any other length will have a high price. Will you want a sock on the hose? Need this information befor I can help
