Gilmour Soaker Hose

Yes, this hose is designed to be installed either above ground or buried under a layer of mulch or soil. Burying it helps further reduce evaporation and keeps your garden beds looking tidy.

Yes, the Gilmour soaker hose is linkable. You can connect multiple 50-foot sections together to create a custom drip irrigation system that fits the specific dimensions of your garden beds.

The hose is engineered to be clog-resistant for consistent soaking. However, if you have very hard water, it is a good practice to use an inline filter at the faucet connection to prevent mineral buildup in the pores over time.

While the hose has a burst pressure of 600 PSI, soaker hoses perform best at lower water pressures. We recommend using a pressure regulator if your home water pressure is high to ensure an even, gentle weep rather than a spray.

By delivering water directly to the soil at the root zone, the hose keeps the foliage of your plants dry. This significantly reduces the risk of fungal diseases and mildew that often develop when leaves remain wet.

Yes, it is constructed from durable, UV-resistant vinyl designed for continuous outdoor use. While it is built for longevity, draining the hose and storing it in a shed during freezing winter months will help extend its lifespan.
