Karcher unveil ‘chore-free’ watering range

Kärcher launched their watering range with a promise of “intelligent watering solutions”...

Using insights gained from in-depth consumer research, the products are supported by eye-catching displays and promotional units that aim to engage, inspire and support consumer understanding.

While 69% of UK gardeners say they are interested in gardening 50% of those questioned view gardening as a chore. Gardeners in the UK are engaged consumers who are open to new time-saving and labour-saving solutions, say Karcher.

The launch is supported by a media and PR campaign.

Among the products aere a Compact Hose Box, including a 10-metre hose, small and lightweight for convenient storage solutions. It comes complete with two Aqua Stops, a spray nozzle and a connector suitable for inside the house. All hoses are phthalate free

The Hose Reel Kit contains a spacious storage box for the included 20-metre hose and space for all connectors and adapters. The kit also comes with two hose connectors, one Aqua Stop and a spray nozzle.

Unique to the market, the Oscillating Sprinkler allows you to conveniently water the breadth of your garden, to a maximum area of 320 square metres with 20 watering jets. An innovative splash guard means you can reposition it without getting wet.

The range also offers easy-to-use spray guns, including a Premium Metal Spray Gun with adjustable spray options from mist to jet, and  a Premium Multifunctional Spray Gun with four spray options. Both have practical one-handed designs with continious water flow regulation and a quick and easy lock system.

The Premium Spray Lance has a telescopic lance that can be extended to just over a metre and features six spray patterns.

The 20m Hose Trolley comes with a 20m half-inch PrimoFlex hose, spray nozzle, tap adaptor and three hose connectors. There’s no assembly required and it folds down easily for storage, with a retractable handle for ease of use. The wireless ST6 SensoTimer TM is quick and simple to set-up and provides water only when the garden needs it via a specially created moisture stick. The patented sensor technology starts and stops the irrigation process at the correct time according to moisture levels and the timings set by the user.
