AMAZING HOSE. I liked the first one so much that I added a second one in front yard. Definitely recommended getting all the gadgets because your hose game will never be the same.
We've installed a lot of aquor hydrants.. but the black is where it's at. The metal cover is much preferred over the plastic in this Texas heat. The first we installed is a bit over 3 years old and nothing has chipped or rusted and thats a major win in my book. Each freeze they have preformed exactly as advertised. My kids loved the little icicle that shot out the bottom and no harm was done.
We've installed lots of aquor product.. but are really excited about the addition of the no-show mounting box! We are two weeks out from install on the most recent product, and will update when it's complete!
The hose hydrant v2+ has to be the slickest looking hose attachment available. Makes a traditional bib look beyond outdated, and it works flawlessly. Highly recommended.
