Default Pocket Hose Question

Anybody here have one of those 'as seen on TV' hoses that magically expand and then shrink back to their original short length?

I bought a 25' one today as I have a new soft sided waterbed that will most likely have to be topped off next week. I realize it does expand once the water is turned ON but can _I_ pull it to make it reach the mattress??

I hope my question makes sense.


My best hose is a rubber one from Sears, but it's heavy and hard to move
around.

I also have a Pocket Hose. It works well enough as long as you don't
expect it to handle full water pressure. There are too many flaws in the
connectors and these burst. If your water pressure is over 40 PSI or so,
you need a pressure reducer.

My use is with a hose-end sprayer to put fungicide on some spots in the
yard (usually needed mid-July until it gets cold).
