Each year as the warmer weather comes in, I go thru an exercise that has proven to be futile - attempting to get fittings out of storage and working again for summer. I end up tossing the whole lot into the rubbish, in frustration.
Asking around, including our local garden supply store (high end, tends to be more expensive) - I have not found any leads. Nozzles leak, water control valves and cutoffs seize, a hose reel is now gushing water from inside its take-up drum.... I've pulled the most costly fittings off the hardware store shelf, and find that the brass fixtures are so thinly cast that they split open!
Does anyone have any leads on a way around this? Or is all this stuff destined to be disposable from here on out?
