HydroTech 5/8" Flat Jacket Flow Control Hose

I am completely furious with Target and this company Hydrotech. I first ordered a 25 foot blue expandable hose over 6 months ago and I loved the hose. But it got recalled as it was exploding and injuring people severly. So reluctantly, on THEIR command, I was told to cut the hose in half to get a refund. I did and they ONLY PARTIALLY refunded me. I was hose less and looked to Target for another hose.............. Since I liked HydroTech's "dangerous hose" I bought another via Target that was a bit different- a 25 foot long blue flat hose . I was sent a green 50 foot flat hose. I filled out the form on Target's website saying it was not what I ordered. They responded to keep the 50 foot hose and they would send the correct hose. A week or two later another 50 foot green flat hose showed up !!!!..... I realized then I was dealing with incompetants and because I was desperate as I had been with out a hose for a long while and watering my plants with a bucket, I opened up one of the 50 foot green flat hoses I had. The stupid thing leaked and I have video. It was a piece of crap....... After cooling off I went to return the broken hose I paid for, but never actually ordered. The local Target worker was confused as here I was with a 50 foot hose but ordered a 25. I had a reciept for the 25 not the 50 I was returing but that is not my fault......... The worker was cold and rude and unapologetic acting like I was doing something wrong when I did not. I was sent 3 hoses I could not use from this companty and Target. I was forced to go in to Target during the rain with a broken foot to solve THEIR mistake. I'll be posting this in many areas and I am still hoseless. Hydrotech Hoses hurt have people. They have made people go deaf. Just google. After HydroTech's Hoses hurt people IMHO they adopted the practice of purposely sending people the wrong hose so they would have no recourse if they needed to return it or are injured.

Well built, and takes up to 50% less room than a traditional hose

We got this hose for one of our pool clients and we haven't had any issues with it so far (no kinks or obstruction, it has a great flow)

This product met the standards I was looking for. No more bulk hose sitting on the ground or having to reel in. Easy to put away after use does not kink fits easy in a regular hose bin if so desire. Love it.

Easy use

Broke the first time I used it. The hose completely ripped off the nozzle, with just medium water pressure.

Love the expandable hose

lightweight and flexible, making it easy to handle and store. It features durable, abrasion-resistant construction, a PVC-free and drinking water-safe design, and burst-proof technology that ensures consistent water pressure without leaks.

1-Ease of assembly-1 washer and twist to connect 2-Light weight 3- I could use it immediately with a clear water flow, no twists or kinks. 4-Easy online registry for warranty

Bought yesterday and used for the 1st time today - works like a dream! Very happy with purchase!

Green 50 ft flat hose, does not kink, tear leak.

Won’t tighten on spigot and water sprays everywhere

we had the 50 foot hose for over a year and absolutely loved it. this year we ordered the same, but a 75 ft firvour back yard. wonderful hose!

Wife wanted a light weight hose she could store in hose bucket. Fit the purpose exactly…

Hydrotech flat jacket 50 foot

I love the durable, lightweight feature of this hose.

Purchased 3 all worked well for 5 months then two failed within days of each other. Warranty policy went fairly smoothly. Be SURE to keep photos of packages, receipt and number below washer inside hose PLUS country of manufacture which they strangely ask during warranty process.

I like that it does not tangle as the rubber hoses.

This is my second flatjacket hose. I feel it is a better made and hopefully longer lasting than my past rubber hoses.

It leaked as soon as I turned on the water
