Camco 22703 Flexible Hose Protector

From experience, we know that not all utility pedestals are created equal. This short, strong and pliable piece of hose will come in handy when we're dealing with an unusual spigot height and angle. We bought two of these, one to keep in reserve and another to use with external water filters at the RV park where we are spending the winter. Stumbled across this one from Camco because we were hooking up this Hydro Life 52710 Twin Filtration System (Hydroponics) between the utility pedestal spigot and the water hose that leads to the water filter installed in our motor coach. You might term it 'overkill", but this extra filter system cleaned up our water--something the already installed, good quality, human-consumption filter could not handle. We were having problems with white residue in our stainless steel sinks and building up on all our plumbing hardware. These two filters--acting as sacrifice filters--in conjunction with a drinking water filter has given us beautiful water, clean, soft, great-tasting. So this is how we installed this system: Brass flow restriction orifice right out of the spigot --> then this hose protector --> then a 4 foot length of hose, Camco 22763 TastePURE Drinking Water Hose (1/2"ID x 4') - Lead Free , which allowed this system to stand firmly on the cement platform at the utility pedestal --> then our motor coach's water hose, which attaches to the coach's installed water filter.

Perfect for what I needed.

Good extension piece to use with RV drinking water hose and filter to allow line flexibility and prevent crimping of water line which would otherwise interfere with city water flow into RV. Most of the time these last a good year or more of heavy use, including in hot/sunny and cold/snowy weather. Have had a couple leak at their joints at less than one year for undetermined reasons? Easy to install and cost effective. Still buying and using them happily for over 4 years of RV travels.

As someone who frequently deals with outdoor water connections, I was eager to try the flexible hose protector. After struggling with crimping and straining at various faucets in the past, I hoped this accessory would provide a simple solution. Upon receiving it, I was excited to see how it would improve my watering experience and extend the life of my hoses. One of the standout features is its ability to prevent kinks and twists, which has been a game-changer for me. The design allows for greater flexibility, making it much easier to maneuver my hose without worrying about damaging it at the connection points. I also appreciated the bright yellow color, which makes it easy to spot in the garden or yard. It’s reassuring to know that I can water my plants without constantly adjusting or untangling the hose. However, there are a couple of drawbacks I noticed. While the protector does its job well, it may not fit all hose sizes perfectly, which could limit its effectiveness for some users. Additionally, the material, while flexible, feels a bit less durable than I would have liked, leading me to wonder how it will hold up over time. These concerns didn’t significantly detract from its overall performance, but they are worth mentioning. Overall, I think the flexible hose protector is a practical addition for anyone looking to maintain their hoses and simplify outdoor watering tasks. The combination of functionality and ease of use makes it a valuable tool in my gardening routine. Despite a few minor limitations, it has certainly made my watering experience more enjoyable and hassle-free. If you’re tired of dealing with crimped hoses, this accessory is definitely worth considering.

The Camco 22703 Flexible Hose Protector is a straightforward and effective solution to prevent hose crimping at the faucet. Its coiled design allows for flexibility, reducing strain on the hose connection. The Easy Gripper feature ensures a secure and effortless attachment. While some users have noted concerns about build quality over time, many find it to be a valuable addition to their RV or garden setup. It's a practical accessory for those looking to extend the life of their hoses.

I grow fruit trees and a vegetable garden in hot Arizona, so I need to water my plants long and slow, so that the water gets deep into the soil, where it won't easily evaporate, and where it can help wash away the mineral salts that have accumulated in the root zones of my plants. Since I am unable to spend all day monitoring this watering process, I have needed to use multiple hoses connected to multiple hose bibs, which I then need to run for long periods of time when I cannot be present. This is accomplished by using plastic timer valves that I have installed between the metal hose bibs and the hoses. If proper care is not used when the hoses are moved, the plastic timer valves can be broken at the point where they are attached to the solid metal hose bibs next to the house. The repeated replacement of broken timer valves can be expensive and a big inconvenience. I have found that these unnecessary damages can be almost completely avoided by installing short and flexible, spring-covered pieces of hose between the metal hose bibs and the plastic timer valves, so that the spring-covered hose pieces can absorb the damaging shock of a hose being pulled at a harmful angle. These little hoses are easy to install and are worth their weight in gold! They work great!

Works to attach water filter to the trailer inlet

Love how it has uneven surface to unscrew the adapter from what I put it on . I needed it for my power washer ( for house) that gave me fits trying to undo the hose . I’d have to stop , go get pliers and pray I could get the hose off. This is a wonderful solution for any situation that you need easy way to disconnect your hoses .

This works well at protecting the end of my hose where it is hooked up. Lasts forever and cheaper than a new hose. https://amzn.to/3S7J6AG

Leaked first time I used it

Needed this short hose to attach to our water filter for the travel trailer. The yellow thread makes it easy to attach. Good quality. Happy with our purchase.
