I am looking at using these in a garden. How many years of service could I get out of these?

Maybe two at best is my experience. They were extremely unsatisfactory for my use...I tried them around rose bushes one year, in my vegetable garden this past summer and when I pulled them out, they went to the landfill. They have no redeeming features, they do not water evenly as I expected, you have to put a lot of water pressure on to get any real watering and then you are running the risk of the seams splitting. Laying soaker hose is way too much work to be unsuccessful. I will never buy this type again, despite not being happy with the other kind...I am less unhappy with that product than with this!

I have been really happy with this type of soaker hose. The round black rubber type did not last even one season, some crack and spring leaks after one week. These flat Gilmour type are still good after almost two seasons plus they are easy to move, so far no problems. I bought my first hose from Walmart, they were sold out when I decided to buy more, so I ordered the 75 ft type from Amazon, less expensive that way. If you plan to irrigate the same area for years and years, a permanent underground commercial system would be best.

I have had them 2 full summers in my flower bed and used once a week. Cannot see any wear or tear and they work just as well as when I got them. The good thing is they are NOT made out of rubber which was the problem with the others as they were always springing a leak. I bought two more after using my initial two for smaller beds. Love them.

I don't know as I've only been using it for 6 months but the hose works works very well - far more uniform water delivery than the normal plastic soaker hose.

I'm not sure about this. I would imagine that you could use them for several years without any problems. They are made of wool and nothing else.

I have been using these for years. They last about a year. I do not take any chances, so I buy several at a time just in case one goes out. They are addictive. Getting very difficult to find in stores.Sorry. Did not answer your question. Warranty. I have no idea. I use mine on a daily bases. Lasts about a year

They last about 3 years. You have to be proactive on removing snow. Make sure you anchor it well. They are well worth the price in my opinion.

I'm away from home and can't look at the owners booklet but it's a good warranty. At least a year but think it's actually two years. The company is very responsive to issues. One of mine quit working and they replaced it. My only cost was shipping the broken one to them. They must be stored above freezing so I bring mine into my house all winter since our garage is not insulated. This was the second summer I used them. They continue to work great. In fact, this summer the deer didn't even "test" my yard. They stayed away the whole summer (I know because there was no deer poop in the yard). I couldn't be happier with this product!

You're catching on, Ian. If you consider "long term use" as somewhat longer than 90 days, I have a pair that burst after two years. A "Warranty" isn't of any value and strictly limited to the replacement of the failed hoses within 90 days, not the thousands of dollars in damage their burst hose can cause. Read the warranty's small print that specifically denies any and all responsibility for "... "Incidental and Consequential Damages", unless your insurance company sues them, of course. Nice, eh?

Just keep in mind that they will work way past their expiration date (many years beyond). They will lose a little of their potency as the years go on, that's all.

I would say one year but I have used them longer. I have them in every boot or shoe I own since I don't like switching them out.

Mine has been completely intact for several years. I use them in my flower beds, to prevent rain run-off from eroding the soil away from my azaleas.

They last about a year. I have been buying them for about five years and Amazon has the best prices. I think you will be happy with them. Hope this helped.

I honestly don't know. The only thing I use this product for is to wash my vegetables; at least two years. I would think the company would be able to provide any information you need or are looking for.

If your units are at ten years in service they are at end of useful life according to the manufacturer. The manufacture date is in the bottom of the unit

As long as you cleean them properly they last. I have had mine for 2 years, just brought em out last week for a project and works great. Just be sure to properly disassemble and clean them and thes are a fine investment

I'm fairly certain but not 100% sure. I've used them for several years In my garden without any corrosion problems.

They're good for about three years. They only last about a week so that's plenty of time.
