I need 200 ft of hose to water my whole garden area. Has anyone connected two hoses?

I have connected two 50's to make a 100. It worked fine but created a bit of a lump when coiling up. No problem

You coulkd couple as many as you want. They have very good sealing o-ring gaskets. Only problem with these hoses is their hot shot engineers designed the internal diameter of the ends of their 5/8" hoses to be much smaller. I did have specific numbers which I posted on another review but I don't have them handy. I thought it might be as small as 7/16". This affects the volume substantially and will take you more time to water a garden.

yes I have connected this hose to another hose I already had and it works fine.

I have 2 50 ft. hoses connected and also a 100 ft. Although I haven't connected them all I don't see why you couldn't connect them all as long as you have the water pressure. They are great hoses. I left them out all winter covered by a tarp and when spring came they were as good as new.

I have had my 100 ft Flexzilla hose for a year now. Have no experience connecting another hose to it, but can't see why not! Good luck with it, I think you will be very pleased with your new hose.

I bought three 10 foot sections of 1 inch PVC sprinkler pipe with 1 inch connectors to extend it to my sewer cleanout. Used 25 feet of it. Add that to the 10 feet that came with the device and an additional 10 foot Sewer Solution hose and I have 45 feet from RV to Sewer. It works great! I haven't glued the connectors so I can keep it stowable. Will only use it at home.

I used "Raindrip 052010P 1/2-Inch-by-100-Foot Poly Hose" to run lines around my garden. It worked great, and i couldn't beat the price of 10 bucks. Pex would probably last alot longer though if I was more certain of the long term lay out.

yes. I have been using them in my garden for 3 years (same hoses still working) I bury them in the row next to my plants. Garden rows are 100 ft. long and i have 9 rows. I made a 35' manifold from PVC so I can water one row or all 9 at one time. I love these hoses, At the end of the season i rinse them inside and out allow to dry and roll them up. The only leak I have had is the hose I wrapped around my garden tiller. The fabric covering came off but it still works!

It depends on how you set it up. I have mine hooked up to a splitter ... There are three channels and I can water 1/3 of the garden at a time which helps with water pressure. But you need to purchase that separately.

i still havnt filled mine yet .or even opened the box. i was going to buy one of those special hoses but i would need a really long one. im just going to use my regular hose but im going to run a lot of water through it first .

yes, half a hose works just fine. I use a 4 foot hose and use it to just fill my watering can.

Dear RGA, The expandable hose 50FT can be connected with another one, so you can reach 100 FT Best regards Andy A&T Supplies Customer Service

My garden is at least that distance from my faucet. I just use a regular hose to the garden, then the soaker hose in the garden. Works great! But I don't recommend putting ANOTHER soaker hose at the end of the first one. Then the pressure would be too low and it won't distribute evenly.

I currantly have 600 ft on mine but they are all rated for acrage, so one acre is 200 x 200 being 800 ft of wire, so your unit needs to be atleast good for 2 acres.

Yes. You may need a coupler to connect different size hoses, which is what we did.

I used it to water a large garden. You could only run one sprinkler at a time and the pressure was good. If you tried to run both at the same time the pressure was poor

I have not tried mine yet. However sources on the web will tell you how far a hose strand will water. I have dense but porous soil and spaced my loops about 15" - 18" apart. I suspect that in a raised bed filled with loamy soil you would need them closer, so maybe 2 lengthwise strands would be more than adequate. Please check the web for instructions on spacing.

I have used a 125 foot of hose routinley w/o problems. You only need a small amout of positive water pressure for a soker to work.

No, I would get 2 25ft hoses and arrange them in a switchback pattern that is near the plants you most want watered. One 25ft hose going straight down the middle would only wet a few inches on either side.
