This splitter is great, not only by looks, it is very easy and smooth to open/close each of the 4 faucets, I had problems with Brass splitters, which are more expensive, but get stuck after a couple of months, and then breaks at the neck connecting to the main faucet, I had this happen twice last year, came back to a flooded backyard. The large lever type knobs on the RAAYA 4 Way Hose Splitter are the easiest to turn on and off that I have ever owned.
This manifold feels very solid, I like the included washers and like I mentioned before the valves turn so easily. It has several attachment points on it so you can connect it to something for added support.
Anti-kink hose:
This is a love hate for me. I like the spring around a short piece of hose because it eliminates hose crimping at the faucet. It works great, but once connected I found it difficult to take off. This is because the hose spins freely in the spring coil, thus making it hard to grip and take off.
Water flow?
Well your outside spigot will give off between 60-80 psi. So if you turn on all valves at once then you will have between 15-20 psi coming out of each one. For me, I have 2 hoses connected to the run to sprinkles and one hose connected that stays by the house. My sprinkles run at separate times (via times) because if run all at once it drops the water pressure to low to be effective.
Pros:
All seals work well
No leaks
All connectors fit my hoses and my faucet
Solid valve bank
Large lever type knobs
1 year warranty with full maximum satisfaction guarantee
Cons:
See Anti-kink hose above
Concerns:
The plastic covering the manifold might not be UV resistant and the plastic may break down with time from the sun. If it did I would be concerned that the metal underneath will corrode and oxidize. However if I got 3-5 years use out of it then I figure it would have been a good $25 investment and I will buy a new one.
I do recommend the RAAYA 4 Way Hose Splitter for many of the reasons above! I can see how the long switches could be beneficial for people with arthritis in their hands and fingers.
I Hope I have I been able to help you to get to know this product better. Have a great day and enjoy your shopping!
