Spray ends?

[BlueLibby04]

Most people may not think this is very important, but it means alot to me. I cannot find a good spray end to put on our water hose! Ive tried almost all of them at walmart and nothing is any good. Our water pressure isnt good at all, so I guess that has alot to do with it. I like a good strong spray, a pattern like a fire hose puts out. I bought one of those "fire hose" ends and found out it puts out way to much water for our pressure. So what do you all use? Id like something that doesnt cost more than $10 and can be found local. Thanks guys!

Have you tried putting a lever type shutoff valve before the firehose nozzle? This allows you to adjust the amount of flow you're getting to the nozzle. It also allows you to adjust the nozzle to where you want it and then use the valve to shut it off. Hope this helps as it worked for me and other members.

Im using just the lever shut off right now. I do that with another end I try sometimes, but ill try it with the firehose end and see how it works out. Thanks...

I hope that the shutoff valve helps. I just found a L. R. Nelson model 2510 fire hose nozzle at a liquidation store and it works even better than my other nozzle. Great flow rate and very adjustable. Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out.

I use one of those flower watering handle sprays. It has an on/off swithch, multi pattern from jet stream to cone to flow and everything in between. Best sprayer for washing cars I've ever had. Cost nine bucks at WalMart.
