The hose diameter has a direct impact on the amount of water that reaches the plants and on the available pressure. The most common sizes for domestic irrigation are:

12.5 mm (1/2''): ideal for terraces, balconies and small gardens.
15 mm (5/8''): perfect for medium-sized gardens.
19 mm (3/4''): recommended for large green spaces and systems that require greater water flow.

Choosing the right diameter means ensuring that the hose is compatible with the tap and any irrigation accessories, thus guaranteeing more efficient use without waste.

Choosing the right hose is the first step for effective and lasting irrigation, taking into account diameter, materials and technologies such as anti-twist. To ensure its long life, it is essential to empty it completely before storing it and avoid excessive bending that would compromise its structure. Using a hose reel helps keep it tidy and protected from UV rays and impacts, while storing it in a place sheltered from extreme temperatures preserves its integrity. With these simple precautions, every hose will be able to ensure years of efficient operation, keeping the garden always healthy and well-maintained.
