Are you tired of taking a shower every time you turn your hose bib off?

Interesting device, I have found if you keep the hose on while turning the wall spigot off you will not get sprayed.

I just tighten the hose to the bib properly and make sure I have good gaskets. Never had a problem. Of course, now that I say that I'm sure I will get sprayed next time I turn it off.

As post #2 says.
Turn off the water supply. Release hose pressure. No shower. Really very simple.
Save $7.37

Remove the anti syphon device/ backflow preventer and remove the problem. There is a set screw that you will have to drill out. Use a 5/32 dril bit to accomplish this.

No magic shutdown sequence required.

If the spash guard appeals to you fashion one from a red solo cup

I was under the impression everyone removed anti siphon devices before installing.
More trouble than they are worth.

The anti-siphon device is designed to relieve pressure by spraying out. No amount of tightening will prevent it.

I just keep mine wrapped with a old small hand towel to divert the spray, 1 minute, no cost.

Well, I replaced mine with new and no longer have the problem. FWIW

What model? Many on here would like to have one that does not spray.

Install one of these on the anti siphon device before the garden hose. Then simply turn this off and then the hose bibb and there will be no gushing mess on your feet.

$7.37 for a 25 cent piece of plastic? Shark Tank would love it - 'Great margin'!

That’s brilliant; I use the hoses outside a lot; ordered 4.

CarlR33 04-23-2025 09:16 PM

Never had an issue since my anti siphon valves fell off. Of course I will replace them if I ever sell the home.

What tinker said. That is exactly what I do.
