EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
Tired of watering the sidewalk and everyone else's lawn when you are trying to water your own? Get a soaker hose that distributes water evenly over your lawn...and only your lawn! 50 foot length Unique drip/sweating action distributes water evenly Use above or below ground Made from recycled rubber 7 Year Warranty

Amazon.com Product Description
Soaker hoses are the inexpensive, water-conserving solution to effective deep irrigation of gardens and beds. Tiny perforations allow water to seep out slowly into the ground, so less runs off and is wasted on sidewalks, driveways, and other people’s lawns. Water also stays close to the ground to slake thirsty roots rather than create wet, mildewed or fungus-ridden foliage. Made from 60% recycled rubber, this highly efficient soaker hose operates via drip/sweating action and distributes water evenly across its 50-foot length. It can be used above or below ground and measures a hefty 5/8 of an inch in diameter.

Sun eats it right up by maxGamer (Seattle, Washington) 5 Stars

Editing my review: Set it in the sun for a month and it'll fall apart. Can't even connect a hose to it. If I could change the stars I'd put about 2 stars on this. It's a soaker hose and might work great underground, but in the sun it's worthless.

Deceptive adverising by Daniel Weaver (Somerset, NJ) 1 Stars
August 18, 2008
Although the Amazon website says that this product is 5/8 inch diameter, it is actually 1/2 inch. The packaging for the product doesn't even give a diameter. Perhaps that is why it cannot be sold in California where they have strict labeling laws. I really needed a new soaker hose and my local home supply stores were all out of 5/8 inch hose, so I just kept the product.

Poor quality by KGarden (VA) 1 Stars
July 29, 2008
Some people reported that "water literally pours out of many spots on the hose. This creates flooding instead of soaking". I totally agree. It happened to mine too. First time I turned on the water, I saw at least 4, 5 holes that water shot out as far as 3-4 feets. Over a week, I saw more and more holes!!! This really a piece of junks. Some one may think that because my water source may has too much pressure! No, I have a water pressure gauge that reads only 42 PSI which is low to nornal pressure. Comparing to the hose I bought at Walmart for only ~ $8, the Walmart's one is much better! Be aware! Don't buy this hose.

Doesn't soak - It pours by frk040 (NYNY) 1 Stars

Someone else mentioned that the holes are too big - water literally pours out of many spots on the hose. This creates flooding instead of soaking. Had to return it for refund. Either I received a defective product, or this hose is poorly constructed. Beware!
