This is a replacement hose. The first one blew up on me. I sure hope this one is much better. The first one didn't make 2 seasons so I wasn't impressed. Once I managed to get to the warranty people they did send a replacement quickly. Anna on the support team was extremely helpful to me. If not for her I would still be struggling to get help. I'm hoping for the best. I have the same hoses in other areas of my yard so I hope they live up to their name and reviews.
Customer service was impeccable and efficient. I can't say enough about that and how greatly appreciated it was. This all rubber hose replaced a jacketed 100ft that I had. It is a decent hose but I prefer the jacket, as it tends to kink less.
Good hose
Lighter and more flexible than the old 25 year old hose , love the color !
