SWANProducts ELSP38075 Element SoakerPRO Professional Landscaping Soaker Hose, 75' x 3/8", Black

I have ordered 5 of these but 1 did not work, it was defective. It was replaced immediately with one that works. We use a Y connection and run 2-75 foot lengths one way and 2 more the other way all at the same time. Works great. Would have been a 5 but the defective part caused lost time watering the garden.

This hose works great, if you READ THE DIRECTIONS!! People who are reporting that they don’t get water all the way to the end, or that the hose fails quickly are trying to use it at full pressure. You should fill the hose with the end cap off, and then cap it and open your spigot only about a 1/4 of the way (like the instructions stated) We have 350’ of this hose connected together and get an even amount of water for the entire run.

Because of extreme heat and lack of rain here in south central TX soil is shrinking away from foundation and we are on strict water restrictions. Using soaker hose to help reduce shrinkage.

I received a roll of 50' although advertised as 75'.

I like that it has the orifice, on the inlet end to control the flow of water, and doesn't blow the hose ot

I I had to return this because I ordered a size too large. I will be ordering two smaller soaker hoses from this same company because the hose that did come was very well-made of good quality material

I don't really want to rate this product bad but I was very disappointed. This hose works but it literally is a drip hose and not a soaker hose. I was so excited to use it, I set everything up and gave the spigot a quarter turn. I checked it later and it didn't even look like the hose was on. I turned the spigot all the way on and checked an hour later, still the grass looked and felt as if the hose wasn't even on. I live on a corner lot and the edges of my lawn are always dry so it was easy to tell if it was getting any water. The packaging on the hose says it that it leaks at a rate of 1 gallon per foot, per hour but it did not look like that at all. The next day I left it on for hours. It looked like it watered a little bit but WAY less than I needed it to water. I also noticed that some spots of the hose had more water coming out than other spots. I'm glad I did not order more of these. I have a really big yard and I have a sprinkler system that turns on twice a day but there are some spots that don't get watered and I just needed something to spot water. The hose does appear to be well made, malleable (which I like) but not flimsy. That also means it kinks easily. Other soaker hoses that I have purchased in the past were very stiff and rigid. It is made by Swan which makes the Soft and Supple brand (I will not buy any other brand of garden hose). I will have to look at other soaker hoses at other retailers before I buy another soaker hose online. Guess I'll stick with my trusty sprinkler in the mean time.

It has been hot and dry around here. I weaved the soaker hose around my ornamental plants and used stay-downs to hold hose in place. Working great. I’ll probably buy another one soon. Easier to install than drip irrigation. Just make sure to carefully follow the instructions when installing.
