Best hose splitters a.k.a manifolds
It does not matter if it’s winter, summer or late spring, hose splitters are must have tool for every house owner. In summer there will be dry soil, dirty cars, empty pool and there is no way you can manage that to do that with only one hose. Oh, yes, and remember about sprinklers, they will need a hose also. So at least 2 hoses. But when you bought or built you house there was only one faucet outside? If yes, then we can solve this problem very easy and cheap – with best hose splitters. It’s just simple as it sounds – buy a hose splitter, connect it and wouala, you can connect 2 or more hoses. But remember, before purchasing a hose splitter, check if your water pressure will hold two hoses. In some city parts water pressure is very weak and using two hoses simultaneously is almost impossible.
What to check before buying a hose splitter!
Check its quality, and most importantly, check its washers. Remember, plastic will leak twice as faster as metal parts, so more = higher quality. I own this hose splitter, and it’s been two years and still working without any leak!

Bonus included: 10 Washers.”]Don’t buy cheapest hose splitters, they will leak water pretty soon, and you will need to buy a new sealing or even new splitter. Here is the list of best hose splitters, most of them are very popular, and it means, that seller can’t or won’t provide a bad quality product. I know some people who are buying a new hose splitter every year, but let’s think about environment ok? After purchasing a hose splitter, you will need a second garden hose – check out my article about best garden hose.
Hose splitters can be divided into two large groups:
1. How many channels
Most standard splitters have two channels. That means you can connect two hoses. Two-way splitter works very well with a high water pressure and also with a weak water pressure.
Multi-channel: Mostly multi-channels are no more than 4. If you want to use 4 hoses, remember that you will need a good water pressure otherwise in 3rd and 4th hose there will have a weak water stream.
2. Material
Commonly manufacturers are using resistant plastic with metal parts. That’s good because modern plastic is durable, sturdy and does not corrode like metal does. There are also metal splitters, which are better if you are using them stationary without taking hoses off or unscrewing it. Metal splitters have one problem, if you attach a hose to it, sooner or later, (depends on water) hose will start to leak because splitter will start to corrode and hose will start to break. But otherwise, there are very cheap plastic splitters in the market and spending couple of bucks per year for a splitter is not a problem.
Remember, splitters mostly come with a standard connection size, but before buying it, check it out, maybe it has a different connector.
