The Aqua Drop Garden Soaker Hose is designed for gardeners seeking an efficient, water-saving way to irrigate plants directly at the root. It offers precise watering for gardens, allotments, and flower beds while reducing water usage by up to 70%. A key consideration is the need for a pressure regulator if your water supply exceeds 0.7 bar and for longer hose configurations, powering from both ends is recommended for even distribution.

The Aqua Drop Garden Soaker Hose operates most efficiently at 0.7 bar. While it can handle up to 3 bar at the source, a pressure regulator is recommended if your supply pressure exceeds 0.7 bar to ensure optimal performance and prevent potential damage.
Yes, the hose is designed to be buried under bark or underground up to 20 cm deep, helping to keep your garden tidy and further reducing water loss through evaporation.
This soaker hose can save up to 70% of water compared to traditional watering methods by delivering water slowly and directly to the plant roots, minimizing runoff and evaporation.
You will need appropriate tap connectors to attach the hose to your water source. Water pegs or stakes to secure the hose in place are also recommended, but not included.
No, this soaker hose is intended exclusively for irrigation use and is not suitable for drinking water or hot water.
For longer configurations (100 m or 200 m), it is recommended to power the system from both ends to maintain even water distribution across the full length. You may also need to consider purchasing additional lengths of hose.
To prevent damage from freezing, drain the hose completely at the end of the watering season. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Ensure water pressure is adequate (around 3 bar at the source). For hoses over 100m, connect water supply to both ends. Check for any blockages or kinks in the hose.
Check that the water tap is fully open and the hose is not kinked or blocked. Ensure the connection to the tap is secure and not leaking. Verify water pressure is sufficient.
This is the intended function of a soaker hose. If leaks are excessive or in unintended areas, check for damage to the hose material or connections.
Install a pressure regulator to reduce the water pressure to the optimal 0.7 bar. This is crucial for efficient water delivery and preventing damage.
