Silver SMT Hose 1/2" 10m NEXTEP. For many years no innovation appeared in garden hoses, and only after the appearance of watering accessories on the market, the disadvantages of using reinforced hoses became known. Classic reinforced hoses often had problems, as they tangled, while braided hoses crumpled. Consumers asked for improvements, especially those who felt that the braided hoses performed better, praising their flexibility, but not accepting the creasing of the hose.
In fact, the water pressure acted on the braid structure and caused the tire to twist, trying to restore balance. However, as soon as the pressure stopped, the hose returned to its original state. To solve this problem, a spiral thread was inserted against the knitting direction, followed by a spiral stitch. But neither the first nor the second method of knitting completely solved the problem. Simply the symptoms decreased.
In 2012 NEXTEP (RR Italia) introduced SMT® reinforcement, an acronym for STEADY MESH TECHNOLOGY. The unique and patented braiding technology revolutionized the garden industry, surpassing all traditional technologies and completely eliminating the problems presented by the use of classic reinforced hoses on the market. The advantages of this new technology are essentially based on a synergy of the characteristics of classic reinforced and knitted hoses, ensuring with a single reinforcement layer better flexibility, greater resistance to pressure, elasticity and a unique comfort of use. Unlike other hoses that claim to be "anti torsion", which don't completely eliminate the tendency of the tire to twist under pressure or even crack enough to keep water out, SMT® reinforcement is stable while remaining flexible, thanks to reinforcement design that allows the hose to be collected more easily, without creasing and twisting. The consumer immediately realizes the value of the NEXTEP SILVER SMT Watering Hose, compared to any other flexible hose on the market.
