Excited by all the great reviews, I ripped open the package and screwed on my new nozzle. First I tried to water the plants on my patio. The water either splattered too hard or trickled out too slowly. There is not a nice softer spray to effectively water plants. Okay, I thought to myself, "Maybe this will work great to hose down the patio." Wrong again. I put the fire hose type nozzle back on so I could get a lot of pressure. Now I am mystified why this nozzle is getting great reviews. My $7 hose sprayer is back on my hose so I can easily water my plants. Maybe the nozzle will last a long time, but it won't make a difference to me. I am no longer using it.
