1. Match length and head pattern

Pick reach for hanging baskets vs ground beds. Soft shower heads suit seedlings and foliage; multi-pattern heads add mist, flat and jet for mixed jobs.

2. Build quality and joints

Look for aluminium or reinforced plastic shafts, leak-resistant O-rings and a comfortable shut-off. Front-heavy heads tire wrists on long sessions.

3. Hose fit and flow control

Confirm 12 mm AU click-on compatibility. Flow control at the handle helps when switching between pots and beds without walking back to the tap.

4. Care through summer

Drain after use, store out of full sun, and replace worn washers. Flush grit after muddy jobs so spray plates stay even.
