These hydrants are extremely well made. Love the fact there is no packing or turning handle that will leak over time. I’ve installed all four myself so not beyond the skills of a decent do-it-yourself homeowner.

So sleek and sharp looking that we are going to mount a couple of them side by side one for hot water and one for cold water. Having hot water at the tap will be a nice upgrade for washing things off.

If you have rudimentary DIY skills, you can install this yourself. Even if you do not do it yourself, you will be pleased. It looks clean, modern, and its low profile when the connector is removed avoids the unsightly protrusion of a traditional bib from the side of the house. The connector is easily inserted for instant water, easier turning a valve handle. If you want to connect a hose to the connector you can, so that you only have to insert the connector to get water through the hose. The black finish on a dark-sided house gives it a subtle appearance so it does not jump out at you when you look at the house.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT!!! The customer service was great. Every issue I communicated by email was addressed in less than an hour. A product exchange was necessary when I ordered an incorrect item; the process was fast and painless. I was treated like a friend and with a genuine concern for supporting me in the process. It was the best, most personable customer service I have experienced from a company supporting home improvement.

The Aquor House Hydrant V2+ is a heavy gauge, stainless, with perfectly fitting and working o-rings. Gentle twisting of the inside connector tube just to the stop and you’re ready to connect to your piping. The connection to your plumbing could be as simple as threading on, or you may have to add a fitting to your piping. A word to the wise; purchase stainless teflon tape not the regular white or blue. It’s best not to use galvanized fittings if you have a copper line. And you may want to add a 1/4 turn stop valve, to prevent water from spraying when you twist the hose connector in. You’ll get the hang of twisting on the outside hose connector. It only took me twice.

I recommended this to family members already. Currently Aquor is offering 10% off next purchase and a free hose connector for an honest review. Register right away and I recommend purchasing the Aquor Wide Grip Hose Connector just in case the one that accompanies the hydrant (Aquor V2+) ever were to break. I don’t think it will, as it is also stout, but I won’t take the chance.

Our old twist hydrants leak, and it gets annoying scraping your knuckles up to get hoses connected. We are excited to try out this new system. It will look sharp on the house and is very sleek. Could not be simpler to use. I'm also excited to see how the water volume output compares to an old hydrant because I added the optional 3/4" inlets for more volume.
