“Hi, Purchased Hose End Connector because my Hose end connectors with shut off valve continually break think i have 4 broken now. The small yellow control valve is so poorly designed, drop the end of the hose and it is sure to break. When ALL of the other Hose Link products are so good it is a shame that a better design or better material (.say Stainless Steel) could not be used. Love my Hose Link Equipment disappointed with End Connector with Control Valve. Thanks”

“I had a great deal of trouble trying to get the 2 ends to screw together. There is a very subtle difference in shape that needs to be marked so you can get the ends to join. I had to ask my neighbor to screw it together as I couldn't get enough push to do so. Have lots of this product & this is the first time that I have encountered this problem.”
Hi Jenny, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that it was difficult to fitting on the hose end connections. We always recommend using some boiling water to expand the hose to make it easier to push onto the connections. Of course, you can also spray some lubricant onto the stem of the fitting and inside the hose, this helps too!Please feel free to contact us at hoselink@hoselink.com.au or call on 1300 900 617 and one of our friendly customer service team members would be more than happy to send you through additional fitting instructions. Kind Regards,The Hoselink Team
“I bought a Hoselink Fertiliser Mixer bottle first, to foliar fertilise several fruit trees in my yard. The bottle would spray but not take up any concentrate. Hoselink Help suggested a couple of changes and the bottle worked, ONCE. When the bottle worked, I bought a Hose End Connector because with the sprayer the usual snap-on connector leaked all over the place, and I hoped the Connector would stop that.It cost more in postage than the actual product. I can't make sense of the instructions, and I've tried 4 times to put different brand 12 mm hoses - what the Connector is supposed to be for - on the connector, by means of what looks the obvious method, only to have them fail to connect properly, and jump out as soon as some water pressure is applied. The hoses are loose when pushed down into the connector even when applied without hot water as the instructions SEEM to require.The bottle is now failing to work with even the Help-suggested changes, and if used with the snap connector puts more water down my arms than into the spray. I may as well go back to a manual sprayer.All in all, despite an actual human and helpful Help Desk these two products, which promised to fill a long time need for my garden, have turned out a complete waste of money.”
