Gilmour 25' Black Flat Weeper Soaker Hose for Garden Beds, Drip Irrigation Outdoor Hose, Flexible Garden Hose for Vegetable Gardens, Flower Beds, Lawns, and Orchards

I bought 2 at separate times. Both have a leak at the end of the hose. I tried to correct but no luck. Nice hose but they need to address the leaks. Leaks may be worst for some. I have a 25 psi regulator on mine trying to increase longevity.

This soaker hose unlike the rubber tire like soaker hoses available in the big box stores gives a substantial and even distribution of water throughout the whole hose length. I haven't had it long enough to evaluate the durability but I'm hoping for at least several years of use.

Worked well the first year, but I have concerns about long-term durability at high elevation with the extra ultraviolet light.

Helpful in flowerbeds much less water wsstef

I find these last about 2 years in the direct sunlight in Northeast Texas. Our summers are 90*-105* typically. At the 2 year mark the hoses start to to not seep evenly and become more rigid and brittle. The ones that have more shade last longer.I also recommend using shorter 25 foot sections and not the 50-100 foot sections. When you go to replace sections, it is easier and less expensive to replace 25 foot sections at a time.We have a 650 square foot garden with multiple beds. We have one hose going into a 4 way splitter. We then have four sections of 75 - 100 feet weaving through the garden beds. All of this is controlled by an "Eve" Aqua smart water controller. Even when I am away from home, I can water our garden through our hubbed Apple Homepod.These hoses work and last, to me, as expected.

I bought 3 of these 3 yrs ago and just found them in my garage and since I'm looking to purchase soakers that work, thought I'd write a quick review about these. The construction isn't that great, and became unusable when the end of the hose that was hooked up to the faucet ripped apart. Here's the setup I used which could've contributed to it falling apart: I had 2 of them hooked together and connected to a timer that ran for around 5-7 mins a day for over a month, in triple digit heat, which is quite a bit of use. I had 3 rows of plants that I needed to have watered when I was on vacation. This required me to have curves to loop around some of the plants. These don't do well if they're not used in a straight line, because although they're super flexible, any bend at all creates a kink, and just like a normal hose, stops any water from getting past the kink. I spent hours trying to makes curves wide enough to not kink and they're so delicate that even though I used a ton of the metal brackets/stakes to hold the hose in place, I kept having to fix what I had already done bc the slight movement of continuing to lay and stake down the hose would be enough to create kinks. It was three years ago and I'd forgotten until right now just how frustrating it was. Enough that I'm frustrated now, just remembering the experience!Also, once I turned the water on, I had to adjust everything, because guess what: Kinks everywhere. Maybe it should've been intuitive to have the water on when setting them up, but it wasn't for me. After everything seemed to be working, they'd begin to kink because the wind blew too hard or maybe a bug landed on it...I don't know but I'd have to readjusting . After readjusting for the new kink, it would inevitably create another kink, like whack-a-mole, with no chance to win even a crappy prize.Long story, short: If you feel like you absolutely need to try these, they're only good for straight-line usage. Also, I'm generally a very patient person, but the kinks got me. Good luck!

Out of the package, everything looked good. Snaked it around all the flowers and bushes, which are mostly full grown, so that was fun. Turned it on and it only filled for a few feet....turns out that a slight kind will stop the water. So, I was thinking, this isn't good. Then proceeded to work out the kinks one by one, which again was a bit of a pain cause full grown flowers. Got them all worked out, but was skeptical that once I turned water off and on, it would be same process. However, much to my pleasant surprise, no kinks. Two weeks later, same thing. Ordering 2 more for the other side of the house.It is worth noting that we live in the country and our water pressure is WAY lower than city (ours is 40-60 psf and city is usually 100 psf). My speculation is that out of the box with city water, the kinds just unfold themselves.Also worth noting, the plastic thumb handle toward the end of the hose that helps aid in tightening I'm thinking would help many folks that don't have medium or better finger strength to get a good seal.Product also looks nice (compared to recycled tire hose I have now) and it lays flat when not running, which is why I bought it in the first place to run across my sidewalk where it meets my steps.End of the day, very pleased with the product and the price. Again, buying two more and getting rid of old ones.Hopefully in spring after one Wisconsin winter under it's belt, it performs the same.

The one thing I immediately realized is that the hose came without and end cap. Annoying, but not enough to return it because I had some spare end caps around. Still it should have been inspected a little before putting it in the bag.So far I like its gentle dripping because I can water even though we've had daily nasty winds this Spring. If I used a sprinkler I'm certain not as much water would make it to the ground. Keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't have a blow out like some people have experienced.

O anúncio fala em 60 metros: "Gilmour Mangueira de imersão plana Weeper, 60 metros, preta (870251-1001)".Nas informações técnicas fala que tem 900 polegadas (22.86 metros).Mas a mangueira tem pouco menos de 8 metros.Peço à AMAZON e ao Fornecedor que envie o restante da mangueira para cumprir a oferta anunciada.

good quality and does what it says on the box. Ideal for a greenhouse e.g tomatoes where watering is essential. Can be left for days with just occasional checks. Value for money to me.

Hopeless! Connector leaked from day one, reducing the already low pressure flow to s trickle and leaving my polytunnel dry at the back and flooded at the front, where the hose connects. Stupid me should have tested it first before spending hours laying it out, but the hose is not cheap & given other reviews I naively expected decent quality. Wasted more money on fixing tape & then hacked up another hose to try and fix the connector, all to no avsil. Now I cannot even be bothered to parcel it up and send it back. It's in a heap in the veg garden ready to go in the bin, replaced by one bought from s garden centre for half the price, that works brilliantly.

Seems well made. Works great after 2 seasons and leaving it under mulch all Canadian winter.For anyone wondering, this hose runs at 0.0096 m3 per foot of hose per hour at 60psi. So for a 75' hose it's 0.72 m3 per hour (720L or 190 US Gallons per hour).Now at least I can figure out by volume of garden how long to run it. Looks like as little as 5 minutes twice a day will give 2" of water per week if your hose is covering a half meter width of garden.

This is my first time using soaker hoses. My wife’s gardens keep getting more and more each year and watering is becoming too much of a chore. I have buried three of these in the mulch. Plan is to turn them on in rotation during the evening. I really like that all water goes where you need it. Plus these things are stealthy, can’t see them and no noise. I do feel the ends could be a little better made, but I don’t think this matters much as even if the connection leaks a bit it won’t matter. One piece of advice, make sure you pressurize before covering with mulch to ensure no kinks. They may eventually work themselves out, but there is a chance you will not get full coverage if there is a kink in the middle. I think you need to have these on for a number of hours to get a good saturation of the soil.
