Disappointed in product
I purchased pope connections & joins. They were a lot more expensive than other connectors so expected them to past. I have great water pressure & they worked for a while. Now they leak, spray out & or the hoses pop off. It's very annoyed ny so I won't bother with them again.

The factory fitted water supply Connector fell off the hose. It cannot be reassembled so had to be replaced with a hose connector
The Reel continues to refuse to retract fully, and makes sounds as if it is collapsing while trying to pull hose from the Reel
Click & Go System a great idea
I purchased a Pope Click & Go Sprinkler Head and Base from Bunnings and I was impressed with the way I could change the sprinkler heads to suit my needs. I ended buying every different type of head Pope make. It’s a great idea. I also like that these products were all made in Taiwan and not made in a country controlled by a cruel regime who rule by repression and engage in foreign interference and subversion of my own country.

Purchased 30 m retractable hose and gun. Gun lasted 2 days! Hose does not retract. Pope offered to send spare parts but didn’t. Disabled students wanted to retract hose instead of tripping on it.

Great communication and help support
After purchasing a faulty sprinkler but not keeping the receipt, I emailed pope direct and they were so helpful offered to swap it out after a few discussions they ended up replacing it with a new upgrade one posted free of charge.
... Read morePope Ezy Run Timer
Irrigation Timer was installed in home garden but does not function because water pressure is too high. Even when I turn down the tap to a trickle the water pressure on the tap side of the timer unit builds up and then the timer will not open. This resulted in $100's of box hedge dying over the Christmas break while I was away. Pope refused to replace the unit with a working unit. Product is not fit for purpose and has caused $100's loss of plants.
... Read moreWaste of money, plastic junk
Poor garden sprinklers are the BIGGEST waste of money. I have spent literally hundreds and hundreds of dollars, reinstalling, re-fixing, and searching for reasons why my sprinkler system works for the first a month and then suddenly stopped working. Garden dies. Complete plastic junk!!! Ripoff
Best hand held wand for watering hanging plants.
Other watering wands we tried just leaked everywhere, poor connections and limited watering options. Got the Pope and were so impressed with range of spray options, including low or high volume water output, we immediately bought another. We are both horticulturists, so have been using various products and brands for many years. This wand, with adjustable head angles and ease of use, is the best we’ve tried so far.

micro control hand spray
Pope products in the past were good quality .They are now cheap and nasty Chinese rubbish. The "shower" setting on this piece of junk cant be used to water pot plants ie its supposed function. On this setting the holes at the top shoot out a concentrated jet removing soil and blasting the plants while the rest spray water so widely that most doesn't hit the pot at all. How hard is it to punch holes into plastic ? I would be happy to pay a lot more for something made properly out of decent materials . I used this once and binned it. After many years using Pope products I won't be doing so in the future.
... Read moreSpent a fortune on almost entire range and it's rubbish
When we did a big renovation of our pool area and front cottage garden, we were excited to buy loads of luscious plants... And since we both work a lot, we thought it best that we installed an irrigation system with timers. The guy at Bunnings recommended Pope. We bought 75m of 13mm hose, two tap timers (single and double) and countless accessories to go with it, in order to water our gardens.
Right from the start there were issues. The main hose is not flexible. It is bought rolled into a big coil, and when we unraveled it, it kept twisting
... Read moreand turning and rolling over, instead of laying flat. It only 'behaved' when it was rolled up. It was a nightmare to lay it along our pool garden bed, even using stakes to hold it in place. Then, when we pierced the holes for the sprinklers, the hole puncher isn't even the right size for the attachments it's supposed to be designed for. So we had to fiddle around, punching two holes next to each other, kneeling in the dirt, getting hot and sweaty and cursing these stupid little fittings... Every fifth one snapped off anyway. Finally we had the whole system setup, but when we turned it on, half the sprinklers were facing backwards or down. We took such great care to make sure they were all the right way... But probably because the hose is fairly rigid, and also fighting against being straight (because it wants to curl), that as we were wrestling with the hose, trying to get the sprinkler pieces in, it must have been turning a little here and there until the sprinklers were facing all over the place. Nothing worse than spending 14 hours in a garden and you finally think you can sit back and enjoy your handiwork, when suddenly you're back on your knees, pulling out sprinklers, plugging up those holes, making new ones... And finally it worked.Cheap and Nasty Trash at Premium prices
I thought Pope was synonymous with good quality and certainly the prices of their products reflect that.
6 months ago bought a $20 hose reel and received a box with a few bits of cheap plastic that have all warped and fallen apart already. I thought I would by the $50 hose reel and again received a box with a few bits of flimsy plastic and a couple of bits of metal to put together. The parts would be lucky to be worth $10. Put it together and already the central spindle spindle breaks apart after 1 week and water is spurting everywhere. Have a

Everything made by Pope is cheaply made trash - avoid at all costs!
Before ever buying any Pope product, please refer to this site to see the hundreds of negative reviews. All of their products are trash. They are so cheaply made and never deliver what is advertised. They break within no time. The user interface on all of their tap timers is pathetic. Their website is always down. And to top it all off, they are often the most expensive brand in many cases! Please avoid this shocking brand and tell your friends to do the same - this brand must be destroyed.
Cheaply made junk, worthless user interface, website always down...
Questions & Answers
My son purchased a Pope 1010752 Cart Away New & improved 20 metres hose reel from Bunnings at Aulbury, for my Christmas present. It is difficult to pull hose out to use, and does not wind back correctly.
It bunches up and jams, I unwound again the had to feed it back with left hand while winding with right. Hard going !!!
Hi Judith
this is why i wrote a review on how bad Pope's products are to use.
Never again. Its such a shame as they had a good name. Return it to the store for a credit as it is "not fit for purpose".
good luck
Leanne
