GREEN MOUNT 04070P Garden Soaker hose 1/2 inch 50 ft Heavy Duty for Flower Beds, Seedling

Ok

The hose does what it is designed to do. I bought 2 thinking I could link them together but get little water at the middle of the second one so will be using 1 on each of my homes water spigots

I ordered two (2) of these soaker hoses. I hooked the first one up and it immediately sprang a leak and had water shooting in the air.Disconnected it and decided to get a replacement hose. I ordered a replacement.Then I connected the other hose I had gotten with the first hose. It immediately sprang another hole and had water shooting in the air.At that time I decided the hoses were not worth replacement. I cancelled the first order for a replacement and asked for a refund instead.I then requested a refund on the 2nd hose that also sprung a leak.Two UPS stores could not print a return label. I could not open my account to retrieve the QR lavbel for UPS to scan. Called Amazon customer service, they volunteered to email me a label to take to a UPS for it to get sent back. I have to repackage in a box.All this is very, very unsatisfactory and supposed to be sent by August 7th. (Today is August 3rd.) and I have already been to two different UPS stores.

Hose only lasted 2 weeks before it developed holes. Completely worthless now.Updated 9-3-21. Aaron from green mount reached out to me on his own and replaced it. I've been using it for 3 days though and no problems. We'll see how long it last but I really appreciate them making it right.

Kinks and twists that wont come out with stretching and exposure to hot sun bottleneck waterflow giving an uneven soak.

I am using my Green Mount 04070P for the first time. I had to go to the hardware store to buy an end cap because the hose I received didn't include one as shown in the picture. It also didn't include the brass end fittings as shown. The host I received had plastic fittings attached with a hose repair clamp. I've only used it once, but my initial impression is very good. It was easy to thread through the flower bed and an hour gave the bed a good soak.

I have this soaker hose running in my straw bale garden. It is snaked through and around all the plants, and delivers even water drip flow all the way to the end at 50 feet. Be careful, though - this is the recycled rubber version that will not withstand sharp bends or repeated flexing. It's very stiff, and you should regulate the water pressure down with either an inline regulator or restrictor washer to avoid running 50+ PSI through it. I have mine running at 15 PSI, and continually monitor it to make sure it doesn't suffer a blowout at the input end. (My previous 2 soaker hoses did just that before I discovered the fix...)

I bought 2 hoses, tried one of them first, worked very well, so set up the 2nd the next day. I hadn't noticed until I turned the water on that it was missing the end cap. Other than that, I think the hoses are great. Hopefully they'll hold up well in Arizona heat!

Love that it doesn't kink - BUT am going to have to poke more holes in it - really really tiny drip
