If you lay the hose without covering it how does it hold in 110+ degree wheater (summers in phoenix)

Sorry but I don't have a clue. We live in North Dakota so we've never seen temps that high. I can tell you it worked fine in our garden and we had it on a timer.

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. :)

It works great. Mine is attached to the side of the dash and have no problems in this 110 degree summer.

We used ours in a deer camp where the temperature got as low as 8 degrees. We drained it and pulled the pump hose out of our water container before we left. We haven't had any problems. It's a great shower

Hose flexibility is not affected by temp. At least not in above 0* F. I've stepped on the hose a few times and it has not bothered it. Not as flexible as I thought but very usable.

We have no problems -I got this for my spouse to make it easier with 100' of hose and it works good. However here is a tip lazy people expect it to do all the work and walk away from it, and it gets caught up or kinks the hose etc. Just do not let you trigger nozzle drag in the grass. and it will wind up quickly.

This is more pliable than most other hoses I have owned...it really depends upon the temperature in the air when you are trying to roll up the hose. When it's cold <40 degrees it can be a little squirrelly.

It has UV protection. So it should stand up to the sunshine in the Sunshine State pretty well. But eventually, it will take its toll on the hose.

Works just fine. I only have about a foot of the hose exposed but it has been in the elements for about 3 months with no signs of wear. I live in N Texas so get the heat but not really cold.

Can definitely be stored in the garage or even a closet when not in use. It works best around 80 degrees. When it's 90 or hotter I don't even feel like it makes much of a difference. Still would rather have it than not though.

I live in Texas and we see 110 degree heat but I haven't gone through a complete summer yet. The case seems well constructed and sealed to prevent moisture and foreign substance intrusion.

It's not good to leave any hose outdoors in freezing weather. When you do, you just age the hose more quickly. I plan to bring mine into the garage for the winter.

this answer is similiar to the other answer you have gotten. my hose was a 5/8 inch industrial apex that can withstand up to 180 degrees. i live in tucson, arizona and the summer afternoons can cause any water left in the hose to 150 degrees or hotter.these washers will fit any typical garden hose coupler or any hose bid that is standard for yard or garden use.

I taped the undercutting on my trailer that had separated from the siding in a 25 foot section. It was about 40 degrees outside and it is still holding through rain, ice, snow at temperatures down to 10. It has been 5 months and still holding. I also taped it on my dumpster which gets thrown down weekly by trash collectors and that is still holding as well. I would reorder if needed and do recommend it.

It has a UV coating on it but like anything, enough time in the sun will damage the outer coating. Wouldn't damage the line itself. 8 would recommend removing the hose when not in use. It does have a quick disconnect.

We left it out all summer and fall in upstate NY and it held up fine. We pit it away for the winter. It is quite heavy.

I live in Western north Texas and last summer we had temps reach 118 degrees in the shade and our car is black and had no problems with the slime or the pump. The slime container is not under pressure. No problems this winter as well. Our temp got down to around 8 degrees. Hope this answers your question.

I've found that if the hose stays in the shade, then it's cool enough to drink right away. If any part of the hose is in the sun, however, then the water in that area does heat up... :(
