Water Right Polyurethane Garden Hose | 50 Foot | Made in USA | Slim & Lightweight | 1/2” Inner Diameter | Drinking Water Safe | Lead, BPA & Phthalate-Free | Eggplant | 300 PSI Burst Pressure

This is a great hose, lightweight, good color and very manageable--after you train it properly. For such a long hose you need to teach it who's boss. Actually that goes for any hose, but one this long really needs it. First attach it to the spigot and put on a nozzle that lets you decide if water flows or not. Next uncoil it to its full length where it can be laid out in the sun, preferably straight as opposed to in a U shape or S shape. This is usually a challenge because the hose wants to remain in its coils. Don't give up. When you're done there will still be some waves where the coils were. Turn on the water at the spigot and if you want to water a little feel free, but basically just let the hose lay in the sun with water in it but not dispensing for a couple of hours. The hose will warm, the water in it will warm and the hose will lay down completely flat with not a ripple anywhere. You are now the master of your hose and can recoil it any way you choose. It will not fight back nor will it be inclined to kink during further uses. The fittings are excellent on this hose and it is a joy to use. The olive color is rather like olive green mud, nicer than in the picture, and shiny. I really wanted a hose at my barn that I could drink out of, but also one that is super lightweight and easy to manage. After the taming trick, this one is. It's certainly not cheap but meets all my needs and is easy to rehang after use.

This garden hose is completely different than anything else I've ever purchased. It's truly does not kink it spins in your hand instead it is lightweight it is slippery and moves on the lawn very easily the connections are engineered to a very high quality not to mention a very nice looking finish. I expect this product the last a long time. No more frustrations with poses that kink won't coil properly are heavy and hard to drag around. Absolutely love this product and recommend it to anyone and have already talked to my friends about it. I have a 100 ft and 50 ft of the 500 lb pressure models. I will definitely be buying more to replace all of my other inferior hoses. Yes they're a bit spendy but I believe worth every penny

2021 Update - 5 years later, this hose is still holding up strong. No leaks. It actually still looks fairly new especially considering we leave it out all year and do not even attempt protect it from the elements. Very happy! Original 2016 Review: What I love: 1) Lightweight, easy to handle. 2) Solid construction - I considered getting one of those expandable hoses and am glad to have chosen this item because it is just way sturdier those type of hoses. 3) Safe, chemical free water - I primarily use hose for our vegetable garden and like the fact that I'm not spraying water laced with nasty chemicals. (walk through the garden hose section of any garden center and you will smell the outgassing) 4) Made in USA. 5) Nice colorful design - not your typical "pasty green" garden hose. What I didn't realize: the outside surface of this hose does not glide over itself making it a little harder to navigate through a garden. A traditional hose has a smooth skin that slides easily over itself and other garden objects (think of a slithering snake). The surface of this hose kind of "clings" to itself (imagine putting a taught thick layer of plastic wrap over this hose). And so it can have a tendency to clink up, however, the lightweight-ness of this hose somewhat makes up for that. This hose is pricey: 2+ times the cost of a traditional garden hose that you can pick up at a garden center. Despite the price, I am very happy with this hose and am very glad that I got it. Only time will tell how long this will last over the years. Overall: If you want a solid-built garden hose that delivers drinking-water safe water, then this hose is for you. I would not get this hose if a) you're looking for a generic garden hose that just delivers water b) you're looking for a super lightweight, disposable expandable hose. In both cases, you can get a better deal for your dollar. Afterthought - I had considered getting the 400 model to save a few bucks as it has a smaller diameter. When this hose arrived, I realized that it was narrower in diameter to the hose that I was previously using. While the water pressure / volume of this hose is fine for my needs, I'm glad to have gotten the 500 as I think the 400 would have been too small.

Water Right 500 Series High Flow Garden Hose, Lead Free & Drinking Water Safe, 100-Foot x 1/2-Inch, Brass Fittings, Eggplant Absolutely love this hose for its durable feel and stays untangled. The color is nice, though I didn't buy it for that. I bought this hose for its claim to be a stellar water drinking hose. Safe for sitting out for gardening, though I buried my hose in 'swimming noodles' underground so that I can run the water in the winter also. I have the hose for my garage and studio so that we can get fresh water for drinking and cleaning herbs, etc. The hose untangled mostly on its own which was cool to observe. The materials are supposed to be completely safe and durable. It really does feel different in your hands than other hoses. I studied this company and its dedication for manufacturing a safe drinking water hose without all the bad chemicals. Even safer by the sounds of it compared to PVC pipe. Looking forward to many years using it. On a plumbing note....... This was cheaper and safer to install than hiring a plumber and all the plumbing supplies. I am a 60 yr old woman and I was able to do everything myself except dig the ditch. Which happened to be done by a backhoe. My ditch was 50 feet long from spigot to garage. I bought the 100 foot hose to use. With a safe drinking water hose splitter on the spigot, I have my water hooked up all the time and I can still use my other garden hose at the same time.

Let me preface this by saying I have a lot of water right hoses, in fact, I gave away or threw away all of my other hoses eventually after I started buying them. Prior to receiving this one, they were all the original smaller diameter type which I found totally equate for most most garden hose tasks like watering the garden, light cleaning and things of that sort. However, there was not enough flow in them as I eventually found, for some heavy duty tasks particularly like feeding a pressure washer, doing the "lazy" wash of the house windows with the windex spray product or even just getting a good amount of water on the car when washing the car. So this hose fixes that, it's a larger 1/2 diameter hose and a lot more water can squeeze through it in comparison. Beyond that it is everything the old hoses was which means they're super durable (I haven't noticed any change in my other hoses after a couple of years of ownership, leaving outside in all weather, even frozen over the winter), the hardware on them is all top notch, and maybe most importantly they are completely non-toxic (according to water right, anyway). I have two little kids, who will inevitably get sprayed with the hose water, drink from the hose, swim in their little kiddie pool filled with water from the hose... I also tend a vegetable garden in the back yard every summer and I just feel a bit better about what is coming out of the other end of the water right hoses. The bonus on top of this is, these hoses look amazing... yes, I realize I'm talking about a garden hose but these things look and feel high quality an the fact that they come in unique colours can even turn them into conversation pieces at BBQs strangely enough. The standard olive green hose is even different enough looking that people ask about it, but my favourite is the cranberry colour actually. Yes, they are expensive for garden hoses but trust me I don't think you'll ever need to replace it. Unless you're expecting an unusually short term of home ownership or an unusually short lifespan I do recommend them. Only one con: You have to wrestle with them for quite a while when they are new because they have an insane "memory" for coiling up the way they came and are difficult to put away for a while - they do relax over time but it can be perplexing at first.

Nice and light, easy to carry and roll up after use. One important thing to be aware of if you are buying this in the UK, is that it won't fit standard UK garden taps and sprayer attachments out-of-the-box, since the hose is designed for US garden plumbing. You will need to get suitable adaptors to convert between BSP (UK standard), which has 14 threads per inch and GHT (US standard), which has 11 1/2 threads per inch. As I learned from experience, without suitable adaptors, the threads will only screw part way on and it will leak terribly at the connections.

Works as expected. Like the colour better than standard blah colours. Lightweight, great quality. Doesn't kink -- forms loops instead -- but if you know how to properly loop a cord without twisting it, it's fine (might annoy some but can't please everyone) & you'll be able to hang it nicely. Takes a little longer (& more work) to roll/loop up but looks way better than a kinked hose. Have never spent so much money on a hose but I'm sick of replacing hoses every other year so am willing to try this one. Very happy with so far. If fails in next couple of years I'll update the review.

So far, I'm happy with this hose. It is light-weight and does not easily kink. I cannot comment on its durability yet. I ordered the 1/2" version and it has 500 stamped on the end connector. However, when I measure the opening it is 7/16", not 1/2". Is it possible it is mislabeled and I got the 400 model? I wanted to get the 1/2" version so that if it ever needed repair I could use fittings that are readily available. Thanks, Carl Ross

great hose, it's a second summer for it and it still looks like new
