HydroTech FLATJACKET Garden Hose

The FLATJACKET hose is designed to expand under water pressure, allowing it to deliver the same 5/8-inch flow capacity as a standard round hose once it is in use. When the water is turned off and the hose is drained, it flattens out for compact storage.

Yes, the hose is constructed with a PVC-free TPE inner liner that is lead-free and BPA-free, making it safe for drinking water, filling pet bowls, or watering vegetable gardens.

Not at all. While it is 75% lighter than traditional rubber hoses, it features an industrial-grade nylon outer jacket specifically engineered to resist abrasions, tears, and snags while dragging it across concrete or around garden corners.

The aluminum fittings are designed to resist rust and corrosion, making them durable enough for seasonal use. However, for the longest lifespan, we recommend disconnecting the hose during winter months or extended periods of non-use.

Because of its flat design, the best way to store this hose is to ensure it is completely drained of water after each use. Once empty, you can easily coil it flat, which takes up significantly less space than a standard hose.

While the hose has a burst pressure of 250 psi, it is primarily designed for general lawn and garden tasks. It is best to check the specific requirements of your pressure washer to ensure they align with the hose's pressure capabilities.
