Gardena Premium Water Stop, 13 mm (1/2 inch) - 15 mm (5/8 inch): Water Stop, Frost-Resistant, Packaged (18253-20)

The best

This replaced the original Gardena hose connector I had at the hose end of one of my automatic Gardena hose reels. The original connector broke, perhaps frost damage. I have never had that problem before - and I am using five of the reels at two locations. This new connector is much sturdier than the original, so it will hopefully last a long time.

Gardena makes some 5/8" hoses which are too large for this connector. The heavy duty comfort hose 39001 may or may not have a 15 mm ID, but the hose is too thick for this connector. They also make a hose for some of their reels (Classic Hose Cart 60TS Model 8000) which are also too large, one being 16 mm. I bought these based on the advice of Gardena Germany (Gardena Canada is not responsive) which is apparently unaware of hoses on the American market. Their advice is to use 34" fittings. Unfortunately Gardena does not put part numbers on their hose fittings.

Overpriced

Like other reviews this does not fit their own branded hoses that are labeled 5/8

The product did not fit my Gardena branded 5/8 hose despite the product packaging and description indicating it would fit 1/2 - 5/8. In addition, Wish Fulfilment (the seller) has a deceiving return policy. They will not pay for return shipping and said they would refund the return shipping once they received the package. They did not. Amazon also denied my return shipping claim for A to Z guarantee saying “this return is not a result of an error on the part of Amazon.ca or the third-party seller”. I guess it’s my ignorance thinking the 5/8 Gardena hose end should fit my 5/8 Gardena hose.

I’ve struggled in the past with hoses constantly leaking or spraying everywhere when switching attachments, so I decided to try the Gardena Premium Water Stop, and it’s been a game-changer. It instantly stops the water flow when disconnecting, which makes changing hoses or attachments completely hassle-free. Installation was quick and easy, and the build quality feels very solid and durable. It may seem like a small accessory, but it has made my garden watering routine so much tidier and more convenient. Highly recommend for anyone who’s tired of the mess and frustration of traditional hose connections! Honestly, so much better than what I had before and good value for money I find. Had it for about 2 years now and still as amazing as on day one :)!

Mycket hög kvalitet. Blir billigare i längden än att köpa varianter som börjar läcka efter ett par år.

Jak narazie działa,

Gran calidad, precio alto. Muy facil de intalar. Es un poco pesado
