Attach Garden Hose To Sink

Attaching a garden hose to a sink can be a quick and easy way to water plants, wash your car, or fill up a pool. With the right tools and a few simple steps, you can connect your hose to the sink in just a few minutes.

Tools You'll Need

Garden hose
Sink aerator
Wrench
Female hose adapter (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Remove the sink aerator. The aerator is the small, screen-like attachment at the end of the sink faucet. Use a wrench to unscrew it counterclockwise.
Attach the female hose adapter (optional). If your hose does not have a female adapter, you will need to purchase one. Screw the adapter onto the sink faucet clockwise.
Connect the garden hose. Screw the garden hose onto the female hose adapter or directly onto the sink faucet clockwise.
Turn on the water. Turn on the water at the sink faucet. The water should now flow through the garden hose.
Adjust the water flow. Use the valve on the garden hose to adjust the water flow. You can also use the handle on the sink faucet to control the water temperature.

Tips

Make sure that the garden hose is long enough to reach the area where you need to water.
Use a wrench to tighten the connections to prevent leaks.
If you are using the hose to fill up a pool, place a brick or heavy object on the hose to keep it in place.
When you are finished using the hose, turn off the water at the sink faucet and disconnect the hose.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking from the connection. Tighten the connections using a wrench.
Water is not flowing through the hose. Make sure that the water is turned on at the sink faucet. Check for kinks in the hose and straighten them out.
The hose is not long enough. Purchase a longer hose or use a hose extension.
