I have had many garden hoses or spray heads thrown away needlessly because one item went bad and all the other items were permanently connected together by corrosion. I tend to have trouble when I use teflon tape to join hoses or attach the spray head. The teflon tape is slippery enough that as the hose is moved around the couplings start to unscrew. All hoses have a "hury sensor" in them and they will unscrew and spray you whenever they sense that you are in a hurry and do not have time to change clothes.
I often have two hoses connected together with a spray head on the end. I don't want to throw it all away if one item goes bad and I don't want to get wet whenever the teflon tape lubricated couplings come apart. I can not use any of the (wonderful in my opinion) pipe dope compounds with the teflon fibers because they are "wet" and I will have a big sand ball whenever they are taken apart and dropped in the sand (Don't bother suggesting we don't take them apart and drop them in the sand. That is not a fruitful discussion). I am also uneasy about the risk of liquid or paste pipe dope compounds (excess) going through the hose and clogging the spray head.
Any suggestions?
