Q: How does this system reduce water waste?
Because it doesn't spray water into the air, this soaker hose system loses far less water to evaporation than a sprinkler does.
Soaker hose sweats evenly from end to end.
Considered one of the best methods of irrigation, this 1/4" inside diameter porous rubber pipe connects to your water supply and sweats evenly from end to end. It can be placed on top of the soil or buried to directly feed the roots.
As it doesn't throw water into the air, it greatly reduces water loss from evaporation. It is also the most suitable method of irrigating plants that don't like to get their foliage wet (not suitable for lawns). Best of all, it can be cut and shaped to meet your specific needs.
The leak rate is 20 gallons of water per hour per 100'.
The starter kit includes 100' of soaker hose, 50' of 1/2" poly header (main line) hose, ten 8" stakes and a selection of connectors.
Most parts are also available separately to expand the system. Can be attached to any of our other watering kits.

Yes, you can bury it or lay it on top of the soil, whichever suits the plants you're watering.
Not necessarily – it suits garden beds and rows more than open lawn areas, since it isn't designed for even coverage across turf.
It releases about 20 gallons of water per hour per 100' section, giving a slow, steady soak instead of a heavy spray.
