The Zero G hose by Teknor Apex doesn't kink and slides across the ground with ease. This results in hassle free watering which is a gardener's dream! In this KZfaq video Kiley and I review several Apex Zero G hoses and give you our honest feedback about them.

I can tell you from first hand experience the pros and cons of this hose: Pros-lightweight, easy to roll up and move around. Cons-they do kink A LOT just as much as any other hose AND they do leak at the fittings. I've had to return one because of leaks.

Exactly. If it were the golden standard, they would be everywhere. Also, because the fittings are aluminum, when they connect to brass, after a while they bond and weld together. Brass and aluminum don't mix well. You MUST use anti seize if you don't want this issue. Read up about it.

No matter how thick and awesome standard hoses are to start with, they wind up being a kinked fragile peice of garbage. Maybe storing in the cabinet has helped it survive longer than the hanger hoses?? Shoot yeah I'm going to buy some more of these.

they do crimp when the pressure is less . like if a 1/4HP utility pump is in use. and what we are all going to learn besides this is how well they hold up to sunlight. like whether they stiffen up with age. another test is dragging the hose across bare wet dirt. and see how much is picked up as a surface muddy coating

What's the inner diameter without a spray nozzle? Does it only go up to 3/4" while under a lot of pressure? I ask because most of these inflatable hoses expand and are only the full diameter while under a lot of pressure, but when you remove the spray nozzle or place a high volume spray nozzle such as a DRAMM 400 then the hose shrinks and you get about half the water volume. That's why I like professional 3/4 rubber hoses.

In your video when you connect zero-g to the high volume DRAMM spray nozzle it produces about half the water I'd expect. I'm not sure these hoses are good for DRAMM nozzles.

When I grew up in the 70s if I was walking down the street in a random neighborhood and got thirsty, I would Walk up to anyone's house and drink from their hose 😂. Just turn on some strangers water, catch a nice big drink, turn it off and go about my merry way!! God only knows what chemicals I've consumed unknowingly in my life. Now that everyone is analyzing the composition of the tubes and the sprayers and the dang water itself were all super concerned about our swollen prostates in 45years, it cracks me up!! Look man, ignorance is bliss. If you do what I do and choose to never acknowledge the Truth, the consequences do not apply to you. I'm a believer in the gene pool theory. If I grow a tumor the size of a basketball on my liver it's my granddad's fault, not my gardenhoses. The gardenhose only brings sweet nectar in its Cool delicious goodness. My granddad was an evil person who made me sick and he died and went away so he wouldn't have to explain himself. If I ever see him again in heaven or hell we can sit around talking old times in some lawn chairs drinking from God or Satan's spigot.

DO NOT confuse this hose with the As Seen On TV expanding pocket hose. Granted the pocket hose is more compact but it will fail if used on a regular basis in less than a year, Guaranteed! If you only want an extremely compact, lightweight hose for occasional use it works great. This hose is far superior for a little more money. The superiority can be felt just by the weight of it and how it feels in the hand when limp. I've been using two of them on my RV for two years with and without being constantly pressurized. They've sat in the sun, been dragged over sand burrs, dirt, concrete, grass etc and the only thing leaking are the quick disconnects fittings I put on each end. It's a GREAT hose hands down! As for kinking ANY tube will "kink" if bent far enough. Kinking is only an issue if it doesn't un-kink easily or makes using the product a PITA. For example, when coiling it up or bending it around a corner the flow stops. The other most unusual thing is that it doesn't seem to get "Twists" in it when coiling. If it's not under pressure it's impossible to twist because it's simply to limp. What's really weird is when it IS under pressure, it's still very reluctant to get twists in it when coiling on to a hose rack or on the ground. Here's a link where I demonstrate the reduced flow with a single and double kink and the anti-twist properties. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNOUrZZkta7Fcps.html Excellent product. Best hose money you'll ever spend.

Aqua Joe 50' Expandable Lightweight Kink-Free Hose on QVC looks like a far better option Aluminum fittings are crap and are the dud standard in the hose industry. They corrode from minerals in the water unless you remove them often. Even the anodized aluminum will corrode in a short time. Aluminum is not a nice fitting. Try removing it with vice grips once seized. They disintegrate. Water flow through most "inflatable" hoses is noticeably lower so unless you're trying to take longer to water your landscape or clean with your hose plan on it taking longer.

I purchased Two zero-G s and hooked them up to a brass hose bib in my boat house. Months later I tried to unscrew the sprayer and it welded together. all four connectors were stuck together and can not separate, called the company and they told me if I had a older house I would have to unscrew the hose connectors three or four times a year or it will weld together. One was so bad I had to hire a plumber to turn off the water supply and cut the hose and replace the faucet. a little over 100$. The company told me if I cut the four ends off the hose and sent them to them they would give me a credit card credit. I think they need to do a better job letting customers know about there defect and I will NEVER own one of there fucked up system again!

How much are you being paid to promote this product. I bought the hose because an employee at the Ace Hardware stores said he had two and they worked great. Additionally I bought the hose because it is lightweight and I have serious back issues and I thought it would help. It's made it worse because I have to keep bending over to unkink the hose. If you are going to have a blog, at least be honest.
