Quick answer
Mount the stainless-steel hose hanger on a sturdy wall at a comfortable height, then connect the included Water Wise starter kit and UltraFlex hose for an organized watering setup.
Choosing the right location
Pick a spot near an outdoor tap that is easy to reach and away from high-traffic areas. A wall-mounted hanger keeps the hose off the ground, reducing tripping hazards and wear. Ensure the wall surface can support the weight of a fully filled hose (up to 30m).
Tools you will need
You only need a drill, masonry or wood screws (depending on your wall), a spirit level, and a pencil. The hanger pack does not include mounting hardware, so check your wall type and buy appropriate anchors and screws.
Installation steps
- 1. Mark the mounting holes: Hold the hose hanger against the wall at your desired height (typically waist level). Use a spirit level to ensure it is straight, then mark the screw holes with a pencil. Double-check the level before drilling; an uneven hanger can cause the hose to slide off.
- 2. Drill pilot holes and attach the hanger: Drill pilot holes at the marked spots. Insert wall anchors if needed, then screw the hanger securely into the wall. Tighten until the hanger is firm but avoid over-tightening that could strip the holes. Use a stud finder on drywall to avoid hollow areas that cannot support the weight.
- 3. Connect the Water Wise starter kit: Attach the Water Wise starter kit to your outdoor tap. This kit includes a backflow preventer and a quick-connect fitting. Hand-tighten the connection, then test for leaks by turning on the water briefly. Do not use tools to tighten plastic fittings—hand-tight is enough to avoid cracking.
- 4. Attach the UltraFlex hose: Connect one end of the 30m UltraFlex Hose to the quick-connect fitting on the starter kit. Then run the hose along the garden and attach the other end to your nozzle or sprayer. Coil the excess hose neatly on the hanger. Avoid dragging the hose over sharp edges or rough surfaces to prevent abrasion.
- 5. Organize and test: Wind the hose evenly around the hanger, leaving the last few feet free for use. Turn on the water and check all connections for leaks. Adjust the hose layering if it bunches up. Empty the hose of water before storing it in freezing temperatures to prevent damage.
