Get to know water pressure and flow

With the right setup, your hose delivers just the right amount of water. Start by understanding your water flow and pressure.

Water Flow

Water flow measures how much water comes out of your tap over time. This determines how quickly you can fill watering cans, run sprinklers, or water your plants. Flow rate is affected by hand sprays, trigger nozzles, sprinkler attachments, as well as your hose diameter and length. Use the simple bucket test to determine your flow rate and choose the right watering tools for your system.

Water Pressure

Water pressure is the force pushing water through your hose and attachments. Too little pressure means weak spray patterns, while too much can damage delicate plants or fittings. Most Australian homes have water pressure between 400–1000 kPa, though this can vary throughout the day and may be lower in hills and elevated areas. For the most precise measurement, consult with your local plumber or use a pressure gauge at your outdoor tap.

Choosing the right hose

Watering Tips

When you bring your new hose home, roll out the entire hose from the outside-in and leave flat out in the sun for a couple of days. This will assist to release the ‘memory’ after being coiled, reduce annoying kinks and make the hose easier to manage.
