Melnor Soaker Hose

Unlike a standard hose that sprays water, this soaker hose is made of a porous material that allows water to seep out slowly along its entire length. This delivers moisture directly to the soil and root zones, which is much more efficient for plant health and reduces water waste.

While the hose features a simple, rust-resistant end cap, it is designed to be used as a single run. If you need to cover a larger area, it is generally better to purchase the specific length you need rather than daisy-chaining multiple hoses, which can reduce water pressure at the end of the line.

Yes, the flat, flexible design is ideal for raised beds. It can easily snake around corners and weave between rows of vegetables without kinking or damaging delicate stems.

Because of its flat profile, this hose is very easy to store. Simply drain any remaining water, coil it loosely, and tuck it away in a shed or garage. It takes up significantly less space than a traditional, rigid rubber hose.

It works best with standard residential water pressure. Because it is a soaker hose, you should turn your spigot on slowly; high pressure can cause the hose to spray rather than seep, which defeats the purpose of deep-root watering.
