An apparatus includes a faucet coupler capable of releasably attaching to a faucet, a hose coupler capable of releasably attaching to a hose, and a connection between the faucet coupler and the faucet which provides an independent source of attachment of the apparatus to the faucet for support of the hose. Another apparatus includes a faucet connector having a faucet coupler, a hose coupler, and a connection between the faucet coupler and the faucet which provides support for weight applied from the apparatus and from the hose. Another apparatus includes a hose coil bracket having a support surface for retaining the hose, a faucet coupler, a hose coupler, and a brace extending between the faucet connector and the hose coil bracket, which provides support and stability to sustain weight applied from the hose coil bracket to the faucet connector.
