I am not sure why the other reviewer is having a problem.It sounds to me as if he/she let the manifold freeze while on the faucet during freezing weather.
If you leave the faucet on, and, it freezes, it is likely that the top of this manifold will pop.It is designed to do this.If you leave it on your faucet during a deep freeze, and, leave the faucet on, either the top of this will pop, or, your pipes will pop.Better the manifold should pop than the pipes behind the wall.
I've used this for a couple of months on a farm and ranch "quit freeze" (I'll upload a picture if I have the time).
It has worked well.It is a solid, quality piece of cast brass (low-tin bronze), machined to provide the required delivery at each faucet head.I use it, without trouble in warmer weather (here in the mountains ANYTHING above freezing is "warmer weather") for watering my garden around my spa.It permits a lot of flexibility in providing water through attachments that I attach and detach with the Orbit quick couples. Orbit Lawn & Garden Brass Hose Quick Connect Set #58117
With the time savings provided by having more than one hose and attachment available at the turn of a valve, I can afford the time to nurture my garden.Otherwise, I would be too busy screwing on attachments and hoses to get much watering done.
This item is a quality time saver, and, with care to avoid freezing with water in it, like any other exterior plumbing, it will last a lifetime.
