Rocky Mountain Goods Flat Soaker Hose - Heavy Duty Double Layer Design - Saves 70% Water - Consistent Drip Throughout Hose - Leakproof Guarantee - Garden/Vegetable Safe (1, 25 FT)

After experimenting with multiple types of drip irrigation, the soaker hose is now my # 1 choice. There are many reasons: 1. No loss of pressure and provides constant drip rate along entire length 2. Continuous drips along entire length compared to periodic spacing of drips 3. Easily turn bends compared to flat hoses. 4. Soft and pliable compare to rubber hoses which become hard and will crack 5. It becomes flat when off so that it does not tend to roll. 6. Lightweight and easy to install 7. Caution: The tubing will break apart if the water pressure exceeds 40 PSI (approx). Suggest installing a pressure reducer to avoid permanent damage to the tubing due to high pressure.

Meet my requirements

I have several of these. They are very good irrigation tools. The only issue I have had with them they are very hard to impossible to repair if damaged.

This hose is fantastic! It works over slight bumps and small hills unlike many other soaker hoses that need completely level ground. Of course, it's a soaker hose, so you need to allow the hose to fill using half-pressure then Reduce the flow! If not, you are bound to pop a water regulator two. It leaks a little on either end, but I find that the leaking isn't out of control, especially if I respect the need to maintain low water pressure. The best part, instead of me watering for about 40 to 60 minutes to cover the entire area and trying not to get the leaves of the tomato plants wet, I just turn it on and forget about it for about an hour or two. The water distribution and permeation into the soil is far better than what I can do with a spray hose or watering can.

These hoses seem to be better than the last ones that I returned
