We have two dogs which create lots poop in the back yard. I stepped in some for the second night in a row and finally decided to create a short hose for quick shoe rinses.
The problem with a longer hose is we have to straighten out all 50 feet and make sure it’s drained so water doesn’t freeze inside (short term it’s probably fine, but I want these hoses to last). So a quick spray of water turns into a bit of a chore.
This shorter hose is super easy to drain and hang. Good stuff.
There are splitters with valves that can be attached to the bib and give you a second option instead of filling the entire hose. Useful for filing a bucket or a short sprayer without needing to disconnect anything.
We have to disconnect everything from the spigot when it freezes. We have frost-free spigots which drain themselves when disconnected. In the summer a splitter like you’re describing might be redundant, because I just leave everything connected and full of water. A quick spray is very easy that way.
