Can I Leave My Pocket Hose Outside Year-Round? How Should I Store It in Winter and Between Uses?

• Pocket Hose should not be left outside year-round.

No, you cannot leave your Pocket Hose outside year-round. It should be stored properly in winter and between uses. To protect your hose, drain all water completely, detach the nozzle, straighten out any kinks, and coil it into a loose circle. 

Store the hose in a temperature-controlled space such as a garage or shed. Expandable hoses can be damaged by freezing water or extreme cold, so indoor storage is strongly recommended. 

Key Takeaways:

• Never store the hose outdoors in freezing weather
  

• Fully drain, detach the nozzle, and coil for winter storage
  

• Allow the hose to retract by opening the nozzle when turning off the water
