Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally 50m Porous Soaker Hose is an ideal irrigation solution for allotment holders, greenhouse gardeners, and landscapers looking to maximize water efficiency by delivering moisture directly to the root zone. By seeping water consistently along its length, it minimizes evaporation and runoff, though users should be aware that this 50m spool is provided without connectors, requiring a separate purchase of standard 13mm hose fittings to complete the installation.

FAQs

Can I bury this hose underground?

Yes, this soaker hose is suitable for burial under soil or mulch to provide efficient, hidden hydration.

Are the fittings included in the 50m box?

No, the 50m length is supplied as a raw hose without connectors, allowing you to customize the layout.

What is the recommended water pressure?

This hose is designed for low-pressure irrigation. If your tap pressure is very high, use a pressure regulator to prevent damage.

How wide is the watering area?

The hose is capable of watering up to 50cm on either side of the pipe, provided the water pressure is sufficient.

Will this work with a standard garden tap?

Yes, as long as you purchase the correct 13mm hose fittings to bridge the connection between your tap and the hose.

Can I connect this to other lengths of hose?

Yes, you can use standard 13mm straight or T-junction connectors to create a network of hoses.

Troubleshooting

Uneven water distribution along the hose

Check for kinks or sharp bends in the hose; ensure your water pressure is low and consistent.

Leaks at the connection points

Ensure the fittings are pushed fully onto the hose and use a hose clamp if the pressure causes minor weeping at the joints.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces water wastage compared to overhead spraying
  • Suitable for both surface and subsurface installation
  • Promotes healthier plant growth by delivering water directly to roots
  • Generous 50m length covers large allotment areas easily
  • Compatible with standard irrigation fittings

Cons

  • Supplied without fittings, necessitating extra purchases
  • Requires low-pressure water flow for optimal performance
  • Long lengths may require careful layout to ensure even pressure distribution

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your system, measure the area to be watered and cut the hose to your desired lengths. Use standard 13mm barbed connectors or hose-lock style adapters to join sections or attach to your main water line.

Installation Tips:

  • Flush the hose briefly before attaching end caps to clear any manufacturing dust.
  • Use a pressure reducer if your mains water supply is high-pressure to prevent bursting.
  • Secure the hose in place using garden staples or pegs if laying on the surface to prevent shifting.

Care Instructions:

  • Periodically check for kinks or bends that may restrict flow.
  • At the end of the season, drain the water from the hose to prevent freezing damage during winter months.
