Efficient, economical, and eco-friendly soaker hose provides a way to water your plants. Featuring tiny holes or pores along its length, the hose weeps water directly to plants root systems at a rate of 0.5 to 1 gallon per foot per hour on ground level. This not only reduces evaporation, but also uses up to 70% less water than a conventional sprinkler. To further reduce water consumption, features a patented blue water restrictor in the female coupling to control water pressure and flow. Very lightweight, which makes it easy to wind around plants and set under soil or mulch. Once established, you no longer have to carry or drag a cumbersome garden hose to water your garden. In addition, your delicate flowers, foliage, and vegetables are protected from the intense water pressure that comes from a traditional water hose and/or nozzle. Made from 65% recycled rubber and backed by a 7-year warranty. Lead-free and compliant with California's strict phthalate-content standards, so no harmful chemicals or odors are added to your water supply.
