Glee witnessed the UK launch of Smart Hose, an intelligent garden hose that expands in use and automatically retracts when not in use, making it the world’s most compact and easily manageable hose that never kinks.

Until now hoses have been fairly standard in design, and gardeners everywhere have had to put up with the continual laborious process of rolling them up after use to avoid annoying kinks that block the water flow next time around.

Smart Hose solves that problem as it automatically expands with the water flow from the tap, but more importantly, retracts as soon as the water pressure stops, meaning it can be just pushed back into a compact space after use.

It has also been designed so on expansion it does not, and will never kink, and water flow is interrupted as it is with standard hoses.
