Water Right SKR-050-MU Soaker Garden Hose, 50-Foot, Bristle Grass

Nicely built, this isn’t a flat hose. I don’t have any issue with it being to stiff, etc… at least not anymore so than a pressurized flat hose is. Distribution of the water is really even and you won’t worry about kinks with it. Hose is really expensive so you’re going to want to roll it up if your get freezing winters despite its durability to get every year of use out of it that you can. Wish there was a 75’ option in stock, but 50’ is good for me for now. My 20-25$ 25’ flat soaker hoses were decent but they seem to fail every 2-3 years. Hoping this nice one will last me at least 10 and it will have been well worth the cost.

So far, so good. I've gone through a LOT of soaker hoses but none of them have stood up to the quality of this Water Right hose. Made of polyurethane. Nicely flexible. Consistent "water weep." I bought two and have no regrets. Even keeping the water pressure low (high water pressure can damage your soaker hose) these hoses work just fabulously. Totally pleased with these.Update: I just bought my 3rd for another bed that could use a hose. I totally trust this brand. Yes, a bit "pricey" but so worth the quality, consistent performance, and -- a big one -- no worry!

Lots to like about this product: it’s supple and unfurls nicely during install; it has tiny perforations so you can actually see the water emerging and by adjusting the pressure from your spigot you can either set it to spray tiny mini ‘fountains’ of water or dial it down to just the exact drip you prefer. Water is distributed evenly the full length of the 50’ soaker hose. Fittings are water tight and of high quality. My guess is this product will last a lot longer than our previous black soaker that gave out after 2 seasons. Manufacturer communication is great and they are happy to answer all questions. Highly recommended!

Still enjoying this hose. Easy to move around and the 50 ft runs my 16x4 garden three times. Good coverage.

This hose is the best I have ever used, and I have tried many of them over the last 30 years of gardening. Because we are in a drought situation in Southern California, slow dripping is the most effective way to keep plants alive and hydrated without wasting water. Most other hoses eventually spring leaks and are not flexible enough to make a turn without bending and preventing water flow. This bending causes a buildup of water pressure and a big leak will ensue. This hose is sturdy and drips evenly. I purchased my first one in April of this year and selected a shorter one thinking that it wouldn't be possible for me to make a turn with it. That was a mistake on my part, because I have worked with the hose and see how sturdy it is. I have subsequently purchased two more longer ones. While this item is on the costly side, it is worth it to not have to repeatedly go back into the garden and replace soaker hoses that spring leaks.

This hose looks very sturdy. Other soaker hoses are very cheaply made and it’s annoying to store them all winter and then have them blow apart when you put them out for aSecond season. I decided not to install it in my garden this year because I would need to remove all plastic mulch which could have damaged young transplants. Will use it next year.

Use these in the garden to water my tomato plants. Worked perfectly.

Bought 4 hoses even though it was expensive, as it seemed like it would be a good investment for the long haul. Well that turned to regret after testing out the hoses and looking at uneven dry and wet spots, but mostly dry spots after 30 minutes of soaking.Normal soaker hoses bead water and drip down. These hoses soak 30% at best, then have water squirting out and getting my leaves wet on another 20% of the hose. Then the rest of the hose is FUNCTIONALLY DRY as it beads water, but then stops like the holes were made too small. As I bought 4 separate hoses, this happened on every single hose. I have a PSI meter on my irrigation so I know it's fine as well, especially since the rest of my drip irrigation is working.I cannot fathom how this is $90 for a 50' hose that works WORSE than a $20 Chinese made hose. I'm all for supporting American made products but this is a total joke. I ran TWO hoses on a single row just to try to see if that would water my plants, but even that was pitiful.
