GardenaRegulator Valve

We're deep into the Gardena ecosphere. It's just so much more convenient. For my wife, pushing in a new attachment while the line is pressurized gets *very messy. First cutting the line pressure before changing an end-fitting is so much more convenient than three round-trips to the hose-bib that's ~75-feet away:1. once to kill pressure,2. back to vent pressure from hose and switch end-fitting,3. back to turn water pressure back on.That's 450-feet (3 75-foot round-trips) to change an end-fitting. True, we need to get our steps in...but that's not while "enjoying" the garden.

Ive been using one of these for my front yard and just purchased another to replace an annoying brass fixture in my backyard.I live near the source for water in my community and thus have very strong water pressure. Strong enough that it makes switching hose attachments a wet endeavor even with the quick releases. With this device I can turn off the water at the end of the hose and easily switch out nozzles.The large handle makes this very easy to use especially with full hands and for the elderly with weakened hand strength (I bought one for my mother).Yes, this is incredibly expensive for what it is, but I search for other cheaper alternatives and was unable to find any that worked anywhere near as well as this does.One note of caution, be very wary of dropping the hose with this attachment onto asphalt or concrete, it is nowhere near as studs an an all aluminum product.Overall, great product.

I have a big yard (100' x 100') and this saves me so many steps! You can also fully adjust the flow while you are close to your flower beds. No more walking all the way back. Love it!
