Product Information

Full details

This 15-meter AB Tools sprinkler soaker hose is designed for gardeners seeking versatile and efficient watering for lawns, borders, and hedges. Its key benefit is the 2-in-1 functionality, acting as both a sprinkler and a soaker for tailored watering. A minor caveat is its optimal performance on flat areas. This reinforced, green, 3-core flat hose allows for easy laying and provides excellent coverage, functioning as a fine spray when upright and a deep soak when reversed. It includes extension fittings for larger areas.

FAQs

What is the total length of the hose?

The total length of the hose is 15 meters (approximately 50 feet).

Can this hose be used for watering trees?

Yes, the soaker function is ideal for watering trees as it delivers water directly to the root zone.

How do I switch between sprinkler and soaker modes?

To use as a sprinkler, lay the perforated side of the hose facing upwards. To use as a soaker, reverse the hose so the perforated side faces downwards.

Can I connect more than one hose together?

Yes, the hose comes with necessary fittings to join it with another sprinkler hose to cover a larger area.

What is the maximum coverage area?

The hose can cover a maximum area of 15 meters in length and 3.6 meters in width.

Is this hose suitable for uneven terrain?

The hose is best suited for flat areas. While it can be adapted for some contours, optimal performance is achieved on level ground.

What material is the hose made from?

The hose is manufactured from reinforced plastic for maximum strength and durability.

Troubleshooting

Uneven watering or spray pattern.

Ensure the hose is laid flat and not kinked. Check water pressure at the tap. Verify that all connections are secure and that the hose is positioned correctly for the desired watering mode (upright for sprinkler, down for soaker).

Hose not producing a spray or soak.

Confirm the tap is fully open. Check for blockages in the tap connector or the hose perforations. Ensure the hose is not damaged.

Water leaking from connections.

Tighten the screw-in connector at the tap. Ensure any extension fittings are securely attached. Check that the end cap is properly installed.

Reduced water flow when using multiple hoses.

Ensure your water pressure is sufficient for the combined length. Check for any kinks or obstructions in the connected hoses. Limit the number of hoses connected if pressure is low.

  • Easy to lay out due to its flat and 3-core design.
  • Durable construction with reinforced plastic for extended lifespan.
  • Expandable system allows for covering larger areas.
  • Suitable for irregular shapes and narrow garden spaces.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for flat areas; performance on slopes may vary.
  • Requires a water source with adequate pressure to function effectively as a sprinkler.
  • May require careful positioning to achieve desired spray pattern or soak depth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Connect the supplied screw-in connector to your garden tap. Lay the hose flat in the desired watering area, ensuring it is positioned correctly for either sprinkler (upright) or soaker (downward) action. If extending the coverage, connect a second hose using the provided fittings. Ensure the end cap is fitted securely to the final end of the hose.

Compatibility: This hose is compatible with standard garden taps. It can be used in series with additional compatible sprinkler hoses.

Care: After use, turn off the water supply. It is advisable to drain any excess water from the hose before storing. Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan. Keep the perforated sections clean from soil or debris.
