    How to shorten a Garden hose
    I need a six foot garden hose for my fish tank and hose faucet hookup which is about 3 feet away from the tank. I use longer hoses and they just get crimped up and split open. Can you help me.

    Hi, Russ Rheaume!

    What is the inside diameter of the hose that you would like to use, please?

    Thanks!

    Most hardware stores sell replacement ends for the 3 popular sizes of garden hoses (1/2", 5/8", 3/4"). Just cut your hose to the length you need and install it with a screwdriver. Liquid soap makes pushing the new end into the hose easier. Rinse very thoroughly before using it around your fish. If there is a sharp bend in the hose between the spigot and tank, you can purchase 90* elbows to fit your hose and eliminate kinks.
