Water Right 700 Series (1/2") Soaker Hose, Drinking Water Safe, 25-Foot, Lead-Free Brass Fittings, Bristle Grass

This soaker hose actually works like soaker hoses are supposed to. It distributes evenly and doesn't kink. Other hoses I've tried distribute most of the water in the first few feet and then hardly anything at the end.This hose will act as a small sprinkler if you turn your faucet up to increase the water flow. At full force It sprays out a few inches out of each hole.This hose is 2-3 times the price of other hoses, but it works and that's more important.

Like some reviewers have said, you need to keep the water pressure very low to make it a true soaker hose. That's fine with me. If I want to water something faster than just soaking it, I'll just turn up the water pressure. I plan to use this hose with cheese cloth underneath because a reviewer mentioned that it can get clogged with dirt and I think the cheese cloth will help to prevent that from happening. I haven't actually had to water my plants yet because it's been a very rainy April here. Also to add, the hose is surprisingly lightweight, which is a plus.

I have several of these that have been in use annually for 2-3 yrs. This one performs as expected and waters consistently. Recommend without reservation!

Until we tried these hoses, we were subjected to the horrible black porous hoses that never lasted more than one season. We wasted a lot of money on that garbage. Once we tried one of these, we bought a half dozen for our property and have yet to replace any (3 years now).

Nice hose, functions well but you might have to take out a second mortgage just to buy them. Hence the missing star. This should be a 26-29 dollar hose but if it lasts 5 years it just might be a really great deal. We’ll see how they hold up to ACE hdwr’s 16 dollar 25’ hose working side by side. I suspect the cheaper hose may last a year maybe two if you don’t pull on them at all. It will be a good test.

Works very well, water dripping all the way.

I checked out this brand before buying, and I love their approach to toxin-free, responsible hose designs. I've been using my hose for a few months now, and it works great! I was surprised how lightweight this hose is. Even someone dainty like me can haul it around without effort. The metal hose attachment is very smooth to turn, well-made, and creates a leak-proof seal when attached correctly. Output from the hose is incredibly consistent: even at end creates the same amount of water output as the start of the hose.For my setup, I have an extender hose with a switch at the end to turn it off, but still allows it to be turned halfway at multiple settings. As a result, I've found I can change the amount of water pressure going through this hose to suit my needs! Higher water pressure creates a low level spray effect while lower pressure it creates a drip effect. If you're having trouble with the amount of output being too much, I would highly recommend getting a switch so you can lower the water pressure to get what you are looking for.

Although I love its flexibility, the pinholes get clogged throughout the growing season and they’re impossible to clean out (you can use a needle, however, you’re pushing the dirt into the hose where it can clog other holes down the line). Also, there are far too many holes needing cleaning. I WOULD NOT PURCHASE AGAIN!
