Ratings & Reviews for Raindrip 1/4-In x 50-Feet Drip Irrigation Soaker Tubing

Too much water

I bought the soaker hose to add a section in my garden for rows of radishes. When I turned my system on the drip emitters were fine but the soaker hose was way too much water. I am going to try and add a 1gph drip emitter so less water flows through the hose.

Don't waste your money

I used this to water five 10' rows of strawberries with the water coming into both ends of each row. It watered very unevenly the first year and no water at all the second year. A total waste of time and money!

Avoid Purchase

The soaker tubing releases water unevenly. It pours (not drips) from the first 18 inches from its connection to the supply tubing. I tried reducing the pressure and it only "reduced" the pouring with no water dripping past three or four feet. This happened even though none of the stretches are more than 20 feet long. I purchased a similar drip soaker hose (but different brand) from another supplier and it works great.

Don't waste your money

Worst 1/4" soaker hose ever. Ran an 8 foot segments and water drips out first 3-4 feet and nothing out the rest. Even when you leave plug off the end of the 8' piece no water comes out the open end. Inside diameter must be too small and or blocked while material is to porous. Tried 10 different 8 foot segments from roll and same result. Unless Lowes changes brand don't waste your money as it goes straight to the garbage :( Bought some from elsewhere and worked perfect!!

Completely useless

If you want uneven watering, this is your product. I wish I had read the reviews before I bought it. I have 2 rows of strawberries, each around 20' long so I thought this would be perfect. I connected both ends of this product to a 1/2" drip irrigation hose and ran the drip line along the length of my strawberries. Some areas were turned to mud while other areas were left bone dry. Very uneven watering. The only good thing about this product is that it's made from recycled materials. Well, it'...

Pores clog after one year

I bought a lot of this for my garden. After one year, the holes in the tubing become clogged from mineral deposits in the water and the tubing becomes worthless. I now have to replace ALL of my tubing.

Must be fed from both ends to get total watering

You must attach water to both ends. You cannot connect two of these in series. You will not get ANY water more than half way down the soaker hose. Had to use T-connections to use two of these and feed both from both ends.

poor purchase

Will not distribute water all the way to end of 50 Ft. Only about half supply's water, Hooked directly yo water outlet.

soaker hose

the product is very good I use it in my garden to water my plants I use a 5 gallion bucket with a 1/4 inch valve atached and fill it 2 times a day and the plants are thriving thank you love it

Perfect When Used Correctly

I have used this product for years to irrigate shrubs, trees and plants in large pots without any complaints. After reading the previous reviews... I suggest you decide what you want to use the soaker hose to do. I know that when using 'drip system' soakers... you need to use a pressure reducer to regulate the water going into the soaker hose. Without this attachment, available at the store, yes, as previously reviewed the water pressure forces the water out of the first foot or so... At a susta...

Do not purchase, waste of money, poor design

1/3 holes plugged, 1/3 holes sprayed seed out of ground.
