As a new-type garden hose, dose the expandable garden hose have any difference in water-saving capacity from traditional rubber hose or PVC hose? The article combined the creation with AI friends and Jane, will compare the difference from the perspectives of design principles and related data.
These 2 types of hoses are made of different materials to present respective characteristics, which will be observably notices when we use. Please find the attached comparison.
Expandable Garden Hose | Rubber Hose Or PVC Hose | |
Material | TPE, Latex, Or Others | Rubber Or PVC |
Length | Expand 3 Times Its Original Length | Fixed Length |
Weight | More Lightweight | More Heavy-Duty |
Water-Saving Capacity In Small Areas | 1. TPE is UV Resistant With Less Water Leakage Risk 2. Avoid More Water & Time Waste By Adjusting The Water Flow To Control Hose Length | 1. Easy To Crack And Leak Under Long-Tern UV 2. Easy To Waste More Water & Time By Solving Tangle And Added Weight From “Too Long” |
Following is the referenced data from the expandable garden hose and traditional rubber hose or PVC hose, which assumes to irrigate 10 square meters of garden at the same water pressure (0.3MPa) and time (10 minutes).
Expandable Garden Hose | Rubber Hose Or PVC Hose | Rate | |
Water Flowers | About 50L | About 80L | 5 : 8 |
Wash Car | About 100L | About 150L | 2 : 3 |
Clean Floor | About 60L | About 90L | 2 : 3 |
PS: The actual water-saving rate is affected by the user's habits, the hose length, the quality of the sprinkler head and the stability of the water pressure, and the data is the simulation value of the ideal working condition.
If the average annual water saving is 160 tons, there is another data from AI shows that 1,600 tons of water can be saved with using expandable garden hoses for rough reference.
At present, the expandable garden hose is significantly better than traditional rubber hose or PVC hose in terms of water efficiency and ease of use, especially for users who care about environmental protection, long-term cost control and complex irrigation needs. And it is advised to promote intelligent induction sprinkler (automatically adjust water flow according to distance), attach water-saving operating instructions inside product package, pass water conservation certifications Watersense to enhance credibility for suppliers if possible.
