Whether you're bathing the dog, washing your baby, or filling a bucket, getting water from the faucet to where you need it most can be tricky without a hose. We tried the pool noodle funnel trick and it zapped the mess out of our home projects with some limitations. Pool noodles work pretty well as hoses, but they may not be as flexible as you need them to be when Fido gets squirmy. The Rinseroo first appeared on ABC's "Shark Tank" in Season 16. It's a slip-on hose that works with most faucets and shower heads designed to cut down on the back-breaking labor of lugging buckets of water around. Both the pool noodle and the Rinseroo work by using gravity.

The Rinseroo is an upgrade on the humble pool noodle in many aspects. It has a flexible connector that fits onto most taps, while pool noodles are much less accommodating. Pool noodles are typically around 55 inches long, but the Rinseroo comes with a 72-inch hose that you can connect to others if longer distances are required. 

As far as expense goes, a six-pack of Hollowfly Jumbo Hollow Pool Noodles will cost you $72.99 (roughly $12 each). The Rinseroo is a bit pricier at $33.95 each. You'll want to weigh up whether the extra versatility you get from the Rinseroo is worth the extra cost.

With the Rinseroo, it's easy to bring warm water outside for filling a baby pool before swimtime. Taking the chill out of the water makes it more fun for tiny bodies who may not be too keen on getting into an icy pool. This is also ideal for outdoor bathing smaller dogs who get shivers when doused in cold water even in the sunshine. 

The brand's got a range of useful products specifically for furbaby bathtime. The Pet Tub Hose with Sprayhead is ideal for rinsing soapy dogs as it slips on in seconds. For bathless homes, the pet shower hose with spout is ideal. Thorough rinsing is an important step in how to properly clean your dog. The portable handheld shower hose makes bathtime easier for those with limited mobility. It's small enough to pack in when you travel, making your life easier on the go.  

According to reviewers, bathing pets is no longer a painful process thanks to Rinseroo as it's a quick, simple solution that really works. One reviewer mentioned how much it helped shower time after her daughter's back surgery. Some reviewers had trouble with the water ballooning at the connection point so make sure you read the specifications carefully before buying. So, what do you do with your pool noodles if you decide to invest in a Rinseroo? Here are some fun ways to child-proof your home using pool noodles.
