The Water Genie is better than a watering can and easier than a hose reel

October 2009 – Ames®, a leading manufacturer of non-powered lawn and garden products, today announces the launch of the Water Genie™, The Bottomless Watering Can™. This watering solution fully integrates the hose, hose real and spray nozzle into a simple all-in-one watering can design. At less than half the weight of a full 2-gallon traditional watering can, the Water Genie is a smart and lightweight alternative.

For gardening enthusiasts, the patio is the perfect place to create a sensational seasonal getaway, however, maintaining deck plants can be quite a hassle with heavy watering cans, constant refilling or messy, time consuming hoses and reels. With the Water Genie’s compact design, homeowners can quickly water the plants in their outdoor space with precision and control, and without the hassle of wrestling with the hose.

Key Water Genie features include:

• An integrated 40 foot hose with auto-rewind, water flow control settings and comfort grip making the Water Genie a convenient and easy to use garden care solution for homeowners
• Incorporates a 40' of 3/8" hose, making the Water Genie the only watering can that never requires a refill
• Provides users with the flexibility to move around the yard and garden freely

The Water Genie will be available starting January 2010 exclusively at The Home Depot within the Home Center Channel, at a possible retail price of $29.97. For more information visit http://www.ames.com/.
