Introducing the XFlex® Hose, the ideal watering tool for all of your basic watering and cleanup needs. This remarkable garden hose is designed to deliver exceptional performance, combining extreme kink-resistance and lightweight construction with superior durability. Whether you’re tending to your garden or tackling household chores, this kink-resistant garden hose will revolutionize your watering experience.
Say goodbye to frustrating kinks with the XFlex®’s extreme kink-resistance technology. Engineered with Swan’s XFlex® Continuous Flow™ filament—a flexible, plastic X-shaped filament that runs through the center of the hose—the XFlex® non-kink garden hose ensures a continuous flow of water to prevent kinks. That’s because the X shape of the filament, with its four open V-shaped areas, allows the water to keep running, even if the hose is folded in half! No more time wasted on untangling knots or struggling to keep the water flowing smoothly.
At less than four pounds, this lightweight garden hose is an absolute game-changer when it comes to portability. Made from Swan’s proprietary formula, its featherweight construction allows for effortless handling and maneuverability, enabling you to navigate your garden or yard with ease. Now you can enjoy hassle-free watering sessions without straining your muscles or feeling weighed down.
This proprietary formula also makes the XFlex® Hose remain flexible even at freezing temperatures, making it the perfect choice for year-round use. No more worrying about your hose becoming stiff and unmanageable during cold winter months. The XFlex® all-weather garden hose maintains its flexibility, allowing you to water your plants or clean your outdoor spaces with ease, regardless of the weather conditions.
Thanks to its compact design, the XFlex® flexible garden hose is incredibly space-saving. Once the water is off, the compact hose goes flat, easily coiling into an oval shape that can conveniently fit in any small corner of your shed or garage.
Equipped with a ½-inch inside diameter and a 300 PSI burst strength, the XFlex® lightweight hose provides the power and performance for all of your basic watering tasks. From gentle sprinkling to powerful jet sprays, this kink-free water hose can handle the water flow necessary to meet your watering and cleanup needs.
Designed with your convenience in mind, the XFlex® garden hose also features Swan’s Ergonomic Female Grip at the female coupling for effortless attachment to your water source. Its user-friendly design ensures a secure connection, so you can start watering immediately without any frustration.
For increased durability, the XFlex® Hose is also equipped with lead-free-aluminum couplings that are crush-proof up to 1,200 PSI. These robust couplings not only provide a secure fit, but also ensure long-lasting performance. With these couplings, you can trust that your ultra-durable hose will remain in optimal condition for years to come.

How Do I Set Up My Hose?
- Set up your hose outside in temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure maximum flexibility.
- Remove all packaging and ties.
- Check that the washer is properly seated in the coupling that attaches to the water source.
- Unwind the hose loosely in a circular motion before attaching it to the water source.
- Run water through the hose until the water exiting the hose is cool.
- Leave the hose laid out straight and allow it to heat up during the day.
- Wind the hose back accordingly.
How Do I Care for My Hose?
- Disconnect your hose from any standard metal faucet/spigot/hose bib and metal hose attachment and then reconnect at least twice per year to maintain a proper seal of the washer.
- Before reconnecting, loosen any corrosion evident on the hose coupling, standard metal faucet/spigot/hose bib and metal hose attachment caused by weather or environmental elements, which can cause the hose to fuse to the faucet and/or attachment.
- Always inspect the washer for proper placement and clear any buildup on the washer, coupling or faucet. This will help prevent potential leaks.
- Never overtighten coupling connections. Normally, tightening the coupling connections by hand is sufficient. Using a wrench to tighten the couplings might stop a leak in the short-term; however, it can damage the washer, compromising it for future connections.
- Do not pull and stretch the hose to reach a watering location beyond the length of the hose. When the hose starts to pull off the ground, you put excess force on its connections to the water source and any attachment such as a nozzle. This will not only damage your hose, it can also damage the plumbing that feeds the water source, as well as the attachment.
- Be careful not to drive over your hose. This can damage the hose and drastically reduce its life.
- If your hose is left in a shady spot, its exterior can be cleaned periodically with a mild soap-and-water solution to reduce the chance of organic growth. How Do I Store My Hose?
- Drain your hose when you’re not using it. Water left in a hose for extended periods of time can cause bacteria to form.
- Once the hose is drained, the male and female ends can be connected for storage. Washer replacement is suggested annually or after a prolonged connection.
- When coiling the hose for storage, try to do so without leaving any kinks in the hose. A hose stored with kinks will most likely kink in these same locations very easily once the hose is put back in use. Prolonged kinks create weak spots in the hose.
- Store the hose indoors when not in use.
- Flush your hose with water when put back in use.
Warnings
- Do not run hot water through your hose (unless your hose is rated for hot water).
- Do not run liquids other than water through your hose as they are only designed for use with water.
- Do not leave the hose under pressure when not in use. Heat or pressure can damage your hose and cause it to leak or burst.
- Our hoses are not intended for indoor use. Garden hoses are intended for use in residential and/or commercial water systems that have typical average water pressures up to approximately 100 PSI. Garden hoses should not be used for system pressures based upon burst rating.
