Expandable lightweight garden hoses are very compact, and they can expand around three times from their original size, depending on the water pressure. However, you should be cautious when expanding them. It’s important that you unravel them completely before expanding. Otherwise, they may tangle during use. Since these hoses expand to almost three times their size, you can expect that a 75ft hose will take only a small amount of space, which is required for a 25ft one. Therefore, it is a nice option if you want to store it in a compact place.
