Gilmour Soaker Hose

The flat design allows the hose to lay flush against the soil, which helps keep the water output consistent across the entire length. While it may look different, it performs just as effectively as a round hose by delivering water directly to the root zone through its fabric jacket.

Yes, you can cover the hose with a thin layer of mulch to help retain moisture and keep the garden looking tidy. However, avoid burying it deep underground, as this can lead to soil compaction and potential clogging of the fabric pores.

Absolutely. Because it provides a slow, steady soak, it is an excellent choice for use with a standard garden hose timer to automate your watering schedule and ensure your plants receive consistent hydration.

To prolong the life of your hose, drain all remaining water before storing it. Because of its flat profile, it coils easily and takes up very little space in a shed or garage during the off-season.

If you notice a drop in performance, check for debris at the hose connection point or ensure the hose isn't kinked. The fabric cover is designed to be clog-resistant, but occasionally flushing the hose with a high-pressure spray can help clear out any mineral buildup.
