totally love this! shower is used most often, but jet & soaker have their place. reading responses here, now i’m wondering if anybody has ever looked at how much each is typically used (if at all). any hose product people out there with insights? (ok, i’m a geek! but now i’m curious…)
Chris is spot on. But for those who are curious my 9 year old son has tried every setting and marvels at each one’s potential and importance. I typically discourage him from using jet since invariably he’ll shoot someone in the eye.
Used to be SHOWER only, but I have learned to love SOAKER! So underrated.
It’s fantastic for filling planted pots with water. Fill to the top of the pot with water, then let soak. Then fill one more time! Best way to efficiently soak the soil.

Always SHOWER, unless I’m trying to reach something past the end of the hose, then it’s probably JET. :)

My fav is the “thumb at the end of the hose” technique. Infinitely adjustable and much lighter!

Sun sign: shower. Moon sign: mist. Rising sign: jet, I’m afraid.

It has to be Mist, nice and soft and plenty of cover, especially when watering the plants :)
