Garden sprinkler low pressure

    Hi

    Can anyone recommend a garden sprinkler attachment for a hose that is particularly useful for low water pressure? Ideally Hozelock as I use those connections.

    Had used an old metal hozelock version on my previous garden with no issues but it barely spreads at all now.
    Garden itself is only 10m x 10m so the range doesn’t have to be massive.

    Trouble is with lockdown and all at home more water is in use and notice its not as strong as it used to be.Where is the feed coming from outside tap plumbed into the mains or off a toilet feed [ useless ]

    Outside tap

    So outside tap should have good pressure,forecast for weekend thunder storms.Better be careful if water rationing is in use.

    Cheers. That doesn't particularly answer my question though :)

    If you're in a low pressure area there's not a whole lot you can do.
    What are you watering? Watering established shrubs and lawns is completely pointless and only contributes to water shortages.
    There has been a big increase in water consumption due to covid-19 already.

    Brought a lot of sprinklers that were rubbish, low pressure here too, go to amazon, search for Gardena Aqua S, Black Orange Metallic, done. Doesn't get better, Rolls Royce of o low pressure sprinklers.

    Cheers will have a look.
    Does it work with Hozelock connections or would I need to buy separate?

    When i bought non hozelock same function but did not snap in as slightly different.Threads are standard on all and just means screwing your adapter on if needed.
