Flat Soaker Hose 15 ft Save 70% Water, Leakproof Design Double Layer Drip Sprinkler Hose for Garden Bed

This hose is just what I needed to soak a planting bed next to the house without spraying water all over the foliage or siding. It does just exactly what a soaker hose should do: it drips water onto the ground along its whole length, without wasting any by spraying it in the air. Please note that this is NOT a SPRINKLER hose. It is NOT designed to spray water over a wide area. It is a SOAKER hose. By design, it drips water directly onto the ground at a rate that allows the water to soak in to the soil, rather than running off. And it is excellent at that task. The hose comes with a pressure-reducing insert that help keep the short 15 foot hose I bought from dripping too much water. It works perfectly. It also came with large metal staples to help hold the hose in place, but I have not found any need to use them. The hose stays in place quite well without them.

Working great so far. Got these to use on my trees and I take them down when not in use to increase the life of them. They flow water evenly and feel to be of decent quality. The sun here is hard on everything so time will tell the true durability but so far they are great.

Does what it’s supposed to do

Leaked at every single seam and burst on first use. Not even on high pressure. Shockingly low quality even for the price range.

After a month (bought several), each one I used blew, cannot connect to make longer, you get all the water in the first hose/and it tends to blow at the nozel or just past it.

After using this all season I am impressed by the performance and durability.

Updated to add the seller replaced all hoses. I’m hoping I just had a defective batch! Okay, I know with these types of hoses I’m going to need to replace them more often than I’d like, but I can usually get a season out of them. Not with this brand. The first one lasted a couple weeks before it started spraying so hard out of the first 10 feet that nothing past that was getting watered. Thought it might be faulty, so I started using the second hose. (I bought 4.) Got about 3.5 weeks out of that one, now I’m about to hook up my third hose. I’m hoping to be able to finish the hot part of the summer with this one. I recommend buying shorter soakers so you can replace the portion that’s leaking and not have to pull a long hose out and have to run a new one around all the plants and shrubs.

I’m using this for my garden. So it has to be flexible, good water flow, and handle water pressure, has to be a quality design and tangle resistant. It fits all categories.
