Where can I find a curved 90° hose adapter?

I bought timers for the front and back faucets because we forget to set timers when we water the lawn or we were in the middle of something when the timer went off, finished the thing, but forgot to turn off the water. Timers were a cheap solution, but the front faucet is so low that I needed to buy this 90° elbow:



I was excited to solve the problem until I turned on the water.

There was definitely less pressure.

I figure that the 90° formed a restriction. Worse, it started leaking within two months! I think the restriction caused excessive stress, leading to pinholes. I think something like this would work much better:


Do you know where I could find a curved adapter? Thanks!
