Definitely looks cool, but for me, this is a solution without a problem. Always appreciate your reviews of innovative products though, even when I don't like them!
I might get one of these for the front yard for some bling, but I can't justify getting two of them for front and back. My house faucets are definitely in need of replacement though- yet another neglected segment that none of the former owners wanted to address. I had 1/4 turn frost free faucets at the old house, and once I figured out that the hoses are supposed to be disconnected and drained at the end of the year, I never had any problems with them.
I think I watch your channel TOO much - You’re selling your home? Received my daily Zillow matches and I thought WAIT - that house looks familiar. Then I see the Lawn Whisperer logo. Boom! Someone is going to get an AMAZING lawn - and wishing you all the best in your new home search. Hope to see it on the channel soon!
@ 1:43 pro tip. Thread tape is directional. always wrap the tape in the same direction around the threads as you would turn a nut to tighten it. Great content though.
Your existing spigot/sillcock was a frost-free type. Looks to be 10-12 inch type, which means the water was held back from the outside by 10-12 inches when turned off. You would never have had a freeze issue. Then you replaced it with a new 4-6 inch type. It looked like the end of the new fitting was nearly within the wall cavity. You basically cut the freeze protection in half. As for the Aquar, I've seen this product many times before. For me, if falls into the "if it ain't broke" category. Good idea, but is it really needed if you already have frost-free sillcocks? You have two new detachable pieces to lose. The pieces are proprietary and you'd likely need one for each sillcock. They are also made of plastic. Metal hose thread to plastic adapter seems like a recipe for damage from cross-threading. Lastly, while you could leave the adapter attached to the hose (so you don't lose it), it does have two O-rings which are easily damaged. Damaged O-rings would mean sillcock leaks right by the foundation.
They look nice. Personally I'll stick with the traditional hose bib. No freezing on the internal valved ones. Great video though! I always enjoy the puns.
I don’t think these are a wise investment for long term use. It’s neat now, but the longevity of the company needs to be taken into consideration when they have a specialized connector. The regular spigots are very universal. Breaking those plastic pieces or seeing the sun dry them out over time is not something I’d look forward to. Just get an all brass quick connect adaptor system and it’ll work for years and years with the normal spigots.
Fair points 👍 we will see. It seems to be pretty solid plastic and if someone is organized shouldn’t be hard to keep track of, especially the straight one I intend to keep attached to the hose link hose reel that I’ll be leaving at this house anyway. I installed this on one at my current house to test for building my house, have had it in for a little while before posting the vid and so far so good so I plan on putting them on the new house 👍 we will see
One hidden benefit is that the neighbors can't steal your water. Living in a new home with construction on both sides makes me realize how disrespectful people are about MY water spigot. Water ain't cheap enough to be watering all the construction workers.
Not any easier. Actually more complicated and more failure points. I installed the Woodford dual hot water cold water spigots on all three of my Outlets. I'll never go back.
@@TheLawnWhisperer turn a spigot vs find proprietary plastic piece that has o-rings that will eventually go bad, push it in and turn to lock it into place, then turn it on just like a standard spigot? It's cook don't get me wrong. But you / they can't sell it as simpler. It's not.

@@TheLawnWhisperer Good stuff man and you’re right, just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean others can’t. Appreciate the content. My biggest issue? I’m not trusting the tension that can happen on a faucet when a hose is maxed out to a plastic insert fitting. They look awesome, don’t get me wrong. But to have to deal with the fittings, losing them, strength, the fact you don’t use the hose in the winter anyway and can just turn the water off. It’s like they tried to fix/enhance something that wasn’t broken. Either way you’re right. You like em, go for it. Thanks again for the content, seriously. I enjoy the videos.

👍 thanks for watching regardless!
The difference in design is night and day. Looks much better.
Great timing since my front spigot is leaking lately. Plus no more ugly styrofoam hose bib covers out front!!
So smart and so much better looking!
That looks really cool. I should send this video to my mom bc her front spigot is not in the best spot and it always leaks. Thanks!
Happy Birthday Justin!
Next time mine leaks I'm going to probably install one. Great video Justin 👊🏼

Wow great product.
those are pretty slick
First Aussie 😁. Justin, a great innovation. 😎
Lawn AND plumbing tips, cool!
Haha just the tip
That looks nice! I don’t trust my skills for the install maybe at my next house

looks kewl but what happens when you lose the male hose connector or it gets stolen ?

I wouldn’t expect a positive comment from you regardless of what it is I’m talking about. Thanks for watching, have a great day.
Does it reduce flow ? Bucket test vs a standard hose bib on your house?
I have not tested that yet. I don’t believe it does though
Any decrease in water flow?
What height you got your lawn at this time of the year?
They look nice. Personally I'll stick with the traditional hose bib. No freezing on the internal valved ones. Great video though! I always enjoy the puns.
👍 thanks for watching
Time to do the insertion. Got it LW 😂 "quick easy work"
😬😬😬😂
How do you swap one out on a cinder block home? 😬🤔

I agree these are junk.
Imagine being the next homeowner and last guy forgot to remove and leave behind the connectors when he packed up his hoses.

Did Matt Risinger send you that?
No?
@@TheLawnWhisperer Risinger has been talking about this product for years on his channel. Seems to be a good product.
Do you notice any sort of reduced flow rate?
Without actually testing it it seems to be no different
Replacing one item that has very few failure point with an item that has twice as many failure point is not a good practice.
OHHH Yeah Plastic,...that'll hold up !
Looks Cool & clean but I'll stick to metal hydrants & brass attachments for longevity !
Thats whats she said
I want a hose reel on the other side of that flip top 🤤
good concept. not cheap tho
Most good things aren’t haha

"i always come flying out after i push it in and twist it" - story of my life😢
I would inevitably lose that connector.
😂 just keep it connected to the hose!
@@TheLawnWhisperer Good call! Time to eliminate some hoses from my collection.
I would love to have the Aquor but I'd probably screw up the installation and then wish I'd left well enough alone.
Haha fair enough
So many missed "that what she said" moments....

This is the most extra thing I've see you do lol. I like it but come on
It’s awesome thoooooooooooo 😎
"Extra" until you forget to cover your spigot in the winter and it freezes and you end up owing the water company hundreds of extra dollars.
@@adrianricker thanks for watching
Top Tip: Don’t endorse EVERY product. There’s a reason this thing has been around for a while and hasn’t caught on. Love your videos tho. Keep it up.
I don’t endorse every product, I only endorse the products I like. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean that I can’t. Thanks for the advice
