Using Precision Tips
The Pocket Hose Arrow comes with four specialized tips to optimize performance for various tasks:
- Jet Stream (Red Tip): Delivers a concentrated, high-velocity stream for stubborn grime, mud, grout, siding, and hard-to-reach areas. Ideal for powerful cleaning.
- Triple Blast (Purple Tip): Features three clustered nozzles for fast, powerful cleaning across larger areas, providing high-efficiency cleanup for heavier dirt and large surfaces.
- Flat Spray (Black Tip): Provides a wider, softer fan spray suitable for rinsing cars, patio furniture, outdoor decor, and other surfaces requiring gentle cleaning without overly concentrated force.
- Wide Stream (White Tip): Creates a broader, more efficient spray pattern for cleaning driveways, patios, walkways, garage floors, and general watering of plants and flowers.
