My hose doesn't work with the nozzle on the bottle, it seems to be "female to female". When I looked at the hoses at the store, it seems they were all that way. Am I missing something? Do I have to have an adapter to use this?

We're sorry to hear about the troubles with Windex® Outdoor. That’s not what we’d expect, as the unit is designed to fit most standard garden hoses without the need for an adapter. Since that wasn’t the case, we’d really like to learn more and help make it right. Please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT), and we’ll be happy to assist you. – Megan, SC Johnson Consumer Care
