If you put your hand on the hole, the water flow stops (or slows down significantly). If you take it away it flows much faster.Alex Jong said:I know that when the water leaves the hose the waters speed only drops not increases then why is it when i move my hand the further away it gets stronger?

The water spraying out of a hose is caused by the pressure created by the force of the water pushing against the closed valve of the hose. When the valve is opened, the water is able to flow through the hose and be released in a spray.
The nozzle of the hose controls the shape and intensity of the water spray by changing the flow rate and direction of the water. A narrow nozzle will create a more concentrated and forceful spray, while a wider nozzle will create a softer and wider spray.
This can happen when there is air trapped in the hose. When the air reaches the nozzle, it can disrupt the flow of water, causing it to sputter or stop altogether. To fix this, simply release the air by turning on the hose and letting the water run for a few seconds before using it.
The best way to control the direction of the water spray is by adjusting the angle of the nozzle. By tilting the nozzle up or down, you can change the height of the water spray. Tilting it left or right can also change the direction of the spray.
To conserve water while using a hose, you can use a spray nozzle with different settings to control the flow of water. Additionally, you can turn off the hose when not in use and use a broom or rake to clean up debris instead of using the hose. This will help save water and reduce your water bill.
