50 Ft Heavy Duty Soaker Hose for Gardens and Raised Beds

The Core Functional Details

Permeable Material to Distribute Water

Made from a partially permeable material, the soaker hose ensures even water distribution along its entire length. When the water is turned on, it will slowly seep water from the entire hose, not just through a straight line of holes. These hoses rest on the ground, effectively watering the surrounding soil.

Two Methods for Soaker Hose Usage

There are two methods to use the soaker hose. Place it directly on the soil's surface for a steady water delivery to your plants. Alternatively, mulch the hose to hide it from view, prevent tripping hazards, and maintain moisture levels more effectively.

Help Plants Grow While Saving Water

Soaker hoses provide reliable water delivery at ground level, keeping your plant foliage dry and reducing the risk of fungal growth. They help conserve water by targeting only the roots, which leads to more efficient use. This type of hose usually has a low initial cost for the average home garden and works well on timers for further water savings.

Screw Fittings and Easy Installation

Soaker hose fittings are easy to install using screw connections. You can attach the end of the hose to another hose or the exterior faucet of your house. Installation is straightforward: connect the hose to a nearby faucet or rain barrel and arrange it around the plants you want to water.

Pressure and Length Requirements

For optimal performance, the soaker hose should be used at a water pressure of around 10 PSI; this ensures that water drips out slowly. Higher pressure can cause the water to sprinkle rather than drip. These hoses come in various lengths—10 ft, 25 ft, 50 ft, 75 ft, 100 ft, and 150 ft—choose the length that best suits your needs to maintain consistent water pressure.
