Good Hose Attachment?

[pbrown00]

Is this a good water wand for a hose? I don't want to spent $70-80 on a brass water wand, so I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the hose attachment in the link I posted.

I've had that nozzle before and it is a good spray, very fine and won't disturb the soil. Eventhough it says its welded, I have had two that have become unwelded. Then the pipe comes right out of the hose adapter or the nozzle shoots off. Very annoying. I think part of the problem is that the hose adaptor and the nozzle end are made of pot metal and they try to weld it to the steel pipe that is very thin. It may be silver soldered or something but it never burns into the pipe, it always just slides right off after a year.

I've had pretty good use out of these: https://smile.amazon.com/Dramm-1480...pID=21Ndn9gG6qL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

I usually get 2 or 3 seasons out of them and they're very reasonably priced.

I like the all aluminum shower heads from Dramm. The wand attachments get leaky sometimes. I just wrap some teflon tape in the threading and replace the rubber o rings after a while.

These are all very good suggestions! I'm glad I don't need to buy a $100 hose!

The (I assume aluminum) masakuni watering worked beautifully for me while I had it. Now I just use a regular watering wand, which works almost as well.

oh, you didn't say anything about a hose. Yes, you need a $100.00 hose.

Sorry, I meant hose attachment! I have a hose.

I just have a cheap multifunctional attachment with different settings (hard / soft / mist / different patterns / etc.) and the ability to increase / decrease the flow.

I have the Dramm, too. It does move my soil if I get too close but very good for the price imho.

Come on @M. Frary where is that comment? You're slowing down in your old age.

I was having problems with low water pressure (due in part to the expandable hose I use), so regular nozzles weren't working for me. They were just dumping water out. As such, and since I don't have many trees, I went with one of these:

How's that working? I use those, but for cuttings.

You should order this as well: https://www.amazon.com/Dramm-11000-...pID=51QUAC-vxBL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch and don't cheap out on a plastic hose. You will more than get your money's worth out of a 5/8" rubber hose. Some even have a lifetime warranty.

Very well! It’s 2 gallons per minute, so it starts draining out the bottom of each pot pretty quickly.

I have one each of these bad-boys, and they work very well:

If I were to get just one, would you recommend the Dramm plastic water breaker nozzle or the Dramm rain wand?

I vote for this option. In fact this is the exact wand I have.



Not sure why you need to spend so much just to water. This has multiple settings, and a pressure adjuster.

In fact, I'd advocate for a $100 hose before a $100 wand. But that's just me.

EDIT: It even has a mist setting, BE AMAZED!

I mostly use the Rain Wand along with that Shut-Off Valve.
Works GREAT!
The other Dramm head is a finer mist. Also works great.

Thanks, this is very helpful!
