Description
Choose the hose for the way you water
From a short border to a layout with several beds, porous soaker hose lets you put the watering route beside the plants. Water seeps through the recycled-rubber wall and into the surrounding soil.
Choose from 7.5m to 200m, with fitted connections on the shorter options and hose-only coils for making your own sections. The supplied length and included fittings depend on the Style selected.
7.5m to 30m: fitted at both ends
The 7.5m, 15m, 20m, 25m and 30m options arrive with a factory-fitted garden quick connector at the supply end and an end cap at the other.
The male quick-connect nipple accepts a compatible female garden hose connector. Check the connection on your existing supply hose; a tap adapter, supply hose and pressure controls are not included.
These fitted lengths suit a straightforward watering route around a bed or border. Keep the pressure within 0.7 bar and check the soil along the whole route before deciding how long to water.
50m to 200m: build your own sections
The 50m, 100m and 200m options supply hose without fitted connectors or end stops. Choose these coils when you want to cut the hose into sections and arrange the connections for your planting.
Plan where each section starts and finishes, then choose suitable fittings for nominal ½-inch porous hose. Lay out the route before cutting and avoid sharp bends or kinks.
A 200m coil is a quantity of hose, not a promise that one continuous 200m run will water evenly. Check water delivery and soil moisture near both ends of every section. Increasing pressure above the limit is not a solution to a poorly supplied long run.
The photograph shows the 200m coil; order the length selected in Style.
Give the layout a trial watering
Set it up where you can inspect it before covering the hose.
Follow the planting
Place the hose near the root area. Optional ground stakes help hold the route in place; leave room around stems and use gentle curves.
Control the supply
Use suitable pressure controls to stay within 0.7 bar. Inspect connections and compare the wetted soil near the start and far end of each section.
Set the watering time
Adjust the duration for your soil and plants. Once tested, leave the hose visible or bury it up to 20cm, retaining access to connections for inspection.
Choosing and using your soaker hose
Which lengths come with connectors?
The 7.5m,15m,20m,25m and 30m options include a factory-fitted quick connector and end cap. The 50m,100m and 200m options are hose-only coils. Select the Style that matches the length and contents you need; other accessories are separate.
Can I join lengths together or use a whole long coil?
The hose can be cut and connected with suitable fittings, but the total length you buy is not a guarantee of even watering along one continuous route. Plan separate sections for the supply and beds, then check the soil at the far end. Do not exceed 0.7 bar to try to improve a long run.
How is it different from plain irrigation tubing?
The hose wall itself is porous and releases water along the planting route. Plain supply tubing carries water to separate emitters; this soaker hose does not need individual drippers to release water beside the plants.
Can I connect it to a garden hose at full pressure?
Check the supply pressure first. Maximum working pressure is 0.7 bar, so a supply above this needs suitable pressure controls. The short fitted options have a male garden quick-connect outlet for a compatible female hose connector; the longer hose-only coils need their own fittings.
Can it be buried or used for drinking water?
It can be buried up to 20cm after the layout and connections have been tested above ground. It is intended for garden irrigation and is not suitable for drinking water or hot water.
