has anyone used this with a soaker hose?

I have this and love it! Haven't used it with a soaker hose, but think it would be fine. I do use it with a spray nozzle, no problems.

No, I haven't used it with a soaker hose but there is no reason that it wouldn't work....at least as far as I can see. I've used it at different flow rates and with a sprayer on the end that delivers many different patterns and pressures. No problems whatsoever!

It works with a regular hose, but you might need a Kohler mount. Now, I'm using a standard delta mount, but the handle is quite heavy and sometimes it falls out.

Check with Gilmour. I can just say it has been the best soaker hose I have ever bought.

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.

I made the attempt but it doesn't work very well at all not enough water flow for the pressure washer. I ended up connecting the regular hose and it worked fine with it. I do use the pocket hose for watering plants outdoors and washing the vehicle. I like that it will not kink and it's easy to maneuver around with it being so lightweight.

Yes it will work with a water hose. You just can't pull too hard on the spigot because it will come out of the rubber bushing

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.

Yes, the soaker hose can bend. You can lay it out straight, in a curve, or in a circle.

Since this is a soaker hose, it doesn't have an end piece like rubber hoses. I can't tell the size, but I suspect it is half-inch. Also, if you need to make ANY angles in the hose at all - the water pressure at the end of 75 feet will be about nil. The shorter ones, in a straight line, are the best bet - just my opinion.

Sorry haven't tried yet. I carry it very easily from one spigot to another - we have 3 1/2 acres. Works beautifully. When I am thru just let all water out, put any where as it doesn't take much space.

John, I don't know specifically about a soaker hose. But I think it would as long as the hose has standard hose threads on it.

I had the same issue, as I was watering a vegetable garden that wasn't close to my spigot. I used a regular 25' hose and then added the soaker hose to that.

Hi Richard. Yes I only bought one of these hoses, but after the third use it came apart at the fitting that attaches to the water spigot. Was not impressed with it. When I have that kind of a failure soon after purchase I don't try it again. I won't purchase another. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

I have not yet bought this product, but from what I have learned about using soaker hoses, you're going to want to cover the hose with dirt or mulch. This will protect both the hose AND the soil. The heat will likely speed up water evaporation, so covering it will keep the water in the ground. And covering the soil will help keep it from becoming too parched between waterings. As for the hardiness of the hose itself in the heat of summer, I think that the porosity of the hose helps it survive heat. I can't really speak to that, though, since I'm in Virginia and it doesn't get quite THAT hot here. :) I have not yet bought this product, but from what I have learned about using soaker hoses, you're going to want to cover the hose with dirt or mulch.

I have not but I am fairly sure it would work fine. I used one similar to this with one of the nozzles leaking and it still worked fairly well. You might have to go a little slower but it is still worth it. I love the time this thing saves.
