Hozelock’s Porous Soaker Hose is easy to use. It must be one of the simplest ways to create a time saving watering system anywhere in the garden. It works by allowing water droplets to seep through the porous hose layers to deliver water directly to the soil. And ultimately to the plant roots, where it is needed the most. This hose is porous along its entire length allowing water to release slowly and provide a deep soaking for the surrounding area. The internal dimensions are the same as the irrigation supply pipe (13mm), so you can use the same fittings and connectors as you’d use with other types of micro irrigation systems. So the system can be easily customised to meet your needs. For targeted watering – the Hozelock porous hose is specifically designed for targeted watering of borders, hedges and vegetable gardens. Prevents water wastage – the hose sits on the ground and gently drips water directly to the roots, reducing water wastage. Flow regulation – a flow regulator is also provided, allowing you to regulate the volume of water delivered. Versatile – the hose can be connected to the end of an existing hose or directly to the tap, depending on your garden layout. Multiple hoses can also be connected together to water larger areas. The Soaker Hose works best with a water pressure of about 8-10 psi. Plants can be watered easily by adjusting the tap to give the most appropriate pressure. So, that the plants are watered without damaging the hose. Compatible with timers or programmers – for maximum convenience, the hose can also be used with a water controller to automate the watering process. When do I need to water new turf?
