Porous Soaker Drip Line Irrigation, Hydroponics & Garden Tubing 50' foot roll, 1/4 Inch

The 50', 1/4 Inch Porous Soaker Hose is a great product for those looking for an efficient way to water their plants or garden. The hose is made from 70% recycled rubber and 30% recycled plastic, making it a sustainable choice. The inner diameter of the hose is .162" and the outer diameter is .300", while the wall thickness is .068". One of the key features of this product is that it distributes water evenly, thanks to its drip connectors. You just need to add drip connectors to the hose and feed it from both ends to ensure even distribution of water. The soaker line is rated at 0.7 gal/hour per foot, which means it will take slightly less than an hour to get 1 inch of water emitted. However, it is recommended to put a known length of soaker hose in a bucket and measure how much water it actually delivers, as it may be much less than the advertised rate. Customers should also note that the correct flow rate of the hose is still unclear, with one reviewer reporting a rate of .4 gpm per foot at 25 psi, which is lower than the advertised rate. Additionally, the product may not work with low pressure from a gravity-bucket (raised) system down a single 20 ft straight row, depending on the elevation and size of the bucket. Overall, the 50', 1/4 Inch Porous Soaker Hose is a good option for those looking for an eco-friendly and effective way to water their plants and gardens.
