Cuckoo Soaker Hose

Unlike a standard hose that sprays water from a nozzle, a soaker hose is porous along its entire length. It is designed to weep water slowly and directly into the soil, which minimizes evaporation and ensures moisture reaches the root zone rather than just wetting the leaves.

Yes, this hose features standard threaded end caps that allow you to connect multiple units in a series if you need to cover a larger area than 75 feet. However, keep in mind that water pressure may decrease significantly if you connect too many hoses together.

Absolutely. In fact, burying the hose under a layer of mulch is the most efficient way to use it. This protects the hose from UV damage and further reduces water evaporation, keeping the soil consistently moist.

Soaker hoses work best with low to moderate water pressure. If your spigot pressure is very high, you may need to turn the faucet on only partially to prevent the hose from spraying or bursting, as the goal is a slow, steady seep rather than a high-pressure stream.

Over time, mineral buildup from hard water can potentially clog the pores of any soaker hose. To extend the lifespan of your hose, we recommend flushing it out periodically by removing the end cap and running water through it at full pressure for a minute or two.
