Is there anough pressure to use this hose with a sprinkler for watering the grass? (I realize it would need to be staked down.)

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do. But if you mean connecting this hose to one of those movable/portable sprinklers. A coiled hose as this will want to coil back, so it is not suitable for use with a portable sprinkler. This hose does have adequate pressure for a handheld spray nozzle. Hope this helps.

I haven't used mine with a sprinkler, but I don't see why not. I'm guessing good pressure in, good pressure out. The issue isn't so much the pressure as it is the diameter of the hose which affects the VOLUME. You may need to leave the sprinkler in place longer because the amount of water that comes out of the hose in a given time is less.

The pressure would be the same as any other hose of the same width. It would also depend on the pressure coming out of the faucet. I have had no problem with the pressure, but I just use it like a regular hose. I'm not sure if this helps you.

I haven't tried it but I really doubt you can use it to hook up to a sprinkler. There is not enough pressure.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think I would recommend it. You would probably run the chance of breaking part of the sprinkler system.

I don't see why a sprinkler wouldn't workWith the pocket hose, since it attaches toThe nozzle just like a sprayer. The onlyProblem may be minor--long term durability if your pocket hose doesn't dryOut enough after each watering. Mfr. does suggest to make sure it is empty ofWater ff. each use and stored after dryingOut. In my experience it kind of emptiesItself by contracting. Go for it!!

My husband's WP hose (leading to the sprinkler) worn out, spraying water every where, but not on the tip itself. He got the manufacture's website, ordered it for $8.00 and a few $$ for shipping. It came less than a week, took 10 minutes to replace, worked like a charm. I believe yours should be stress-free problem as well. Good luck

There should be no problem using with a sprinkler. The hose is light weight so even the self propelled versions should have no problem with it. The length at 25 feet is a little short for a lawn but okay for flower beds and such close to the spigot.

Easy to set up. Screw in the hose and stick it in the ground. If the ground is hard, which ours is, I pound a screwdriver in first, to break in a spot for the sprinkler. It's very heavy duty and sturdy, but the prongs go deep.

I would say, in my experience no problem. I am pumping up 15 ft before the pump and running with PVC and Garden hose at least 50ft after the pump with 3 Rain Bird sprinkler heads and it works great. As I said in my review, make sure you buy a foot valve and prime both the pipe and the pump to get it started. Also use PVC and not garden hose to pull the water up the vertical haul. I like the pump. It works great for me.

There is no pressure generated by waters weight. All that one can hope for is drainage into a watering can. I recommend purchasing the stand that is sold as an option to raise the barrel up adequately for access to the drain valve.

You could, but there probably wouldn't be enough pressure to let the hose work properly. However filling a rain barrel and attaching a soaker to the bottom of the rain barrel should provide enough pressure.

Yes, I currently use it in my garden. It is not lined with lead like other hoses, and it fits on the water spout. I personally feel more comfortable using this hose to water my plants. You are what you eat.

Yes, it can be connected to a sprinkler. Keep in mind that when the water flow is opened fully the hose will retract a little depending on the water supply. However, it will settle at a point where the pressure and the length of the hose are all balanced.

I have mine on grass without staking. It might want to slide on concrete when empty winding up a long run of hose. If that is the case you would just have to place your hand on the top and put medium pressure to hold in place until it has enough hose (weight) was in it to not slide - maybe 25 foot of a 75 foot hose. The unit is the best one I have had. Enought to buy a second one.

Not sure. It partially depends on your hose. If I were doing that, I'd use something like extra long, wire twist ties (the kind you get when buying some types of fresh vegetables) and tie the sprinkler down to the plant stand to keep it in place. That may or may not be possible with your stand...

We have ours on a platform of bricks so that even when it is low the hose will still drain into my watering can. I have also learned not to plant anything in the little planter area because it doesn't drain.

i can think it must be the elevation of the hose itself with relation to the hieght of water. You need to use gravity unless you want to use a pump.

I have a large yard in the country that is pretty uneven. The sprinkler handles this. The biggest constraint is how much hose it can pull

The main problem I see would be freezing. For example, sprinkler systems need to be blown out with compressed air before each winter. That said, I have a hose that I leave out under just a few inches all year with no problems though it is on a slope so I can drain it after each use.
