Setup
The Haws Handy Plastic Watering Can comes pre-assembled. The only setup required is attaching or detaching the brass-faced rose, depending on your watering needs.
- Attaching the Rose: Gently push the brass-faced rose onto the end of the long spout until it is securely fitted. Ensure it is snug to prevent leakage.
- Detaching the Rose: Gently pull the brass-faced rose off the end of the spout. It can be stored on the integrated holder on the spout for convenience.
Operating Instructions
Using your Haws watering can is straightforward:
- Filling: Fill the main body of the watering can with water through the top opening. The capacity is 0.7 liters (approximately 1 pint). Avoid overfilling to prevent spills during transport.
- Watering with Rose (Gentle Spray): For delicate plants, seedlings, or when a diffused spray is desired, ensure the brass-faced rose is attached. Tilt the can forward to allow water to flow through the rose, providing a soft, even shower.
- Watering without Rose (Direct Stream): For larger plants or when a direct stream of water is needed, remove the brass-faced rose. Tilt the can forward to deliver a precise stream of water directly to the plant's base.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Haws watering can:
- Cleaning: Rinse the watering can with clean water periodically to prevent mineral buildup, especially if using hard water. For stubborn deposits, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
- Storage: Store the watering can in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade plastic over time.
- Rose Care: If the brass-faced rose becomes clogged, gently clean the holes with a small brush or needle to ensure an even spray.
