The Orbit
14 Inch Watering Wand is part of the
Hose Nozzles test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Watering Wand Hose Nozzle
models like the 14 Inch Watering Wand are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Flow rate:
How much water passes through the nozzle on its highest setting. The actual flow will depend on your water pressure and the length of the hose.
Washing:
This score is based on the water flow rate at the thinnest single stream setting, typically described as 'jet'.
Mist:
The mist setting of a hose nozzle prevents damage to delicate plants when they are being watered. Higher flow at this setting reduces the time needed to water those plants.
