Product Information

The HydroSure Soaker Hose gives you wonderful flexibility in how you configure the watering system for your newly planted trees. This hose is 100m of flexible rubber that’s porous along its length. Water seeps out when you connect the hose to a water outlet or to your garden hose, and irrigation of your trees proceeds. Instead of writing a detailed Buyer’s Guide here for each of the product types in this review, here are links to similar products that we review.

The cleverly engineered Universal Drippers can be easily connected to the Flexi Hose and are designed to deliver water from 0 to 40 litres per hour to the surrounding area A really useful feature is that you can adjust the flow of water through each dripper separately. If you’re watering two trees with the same hose/kit and they each have different watering requirements, you can make sure that each tree receives the correct amount of water. The end of the hose has a cap to ensure that all the water exits through the drippers. Consider replacing this with a sprinkler for an additional way of irrigating your tree.

Flexible watering schedules are possible through start time, duration, and frequency of watering sessions. Two UV-treated PVC watering bags come with two adjustable straps to attach them securely to your trees. The kits are modular in design, which means that if you have a larger space to water you can easily combine a number of Universal Kits to create a larger system.

Programming instructions on the dial are easy to follow for those not used to programming an automatic timer. Keeping newly planted trees alive and creating the best environment for them to flourish is a complex task. Set aside your worries about how and when to water them by automating the irrigation process. Setting up an irrigation system is the best way to go. These contain comprehensive Buyer’s Guides as well as information about other drip irrigation systems, soaker hoses, and timers for other garden tasks. General watering systemsThe drippers have been cleverly designed to connect to the supply hose and can deliver water from 0 to 20 litres per hour. Cut the hose to whatever length(s) you want. We recommend using sections not longer than 30m. Your tree may be further into your garden than this, so just hook the soaker hose to your garden hose with a universal connector. This is a good idea anyway because if you connect the soaker hose to your outside tap and then take it over your patio and lawn to your tree, water soaks out everywhere and your patio and lawn will get wet too. And you may not want this. The Flexi Hose carries water from your tap to the Universal Drippers that can be positioned around your garden. The flexibility of the hose makes installation a breeze; plus the hose can be easily cut to create a layout tailored to your garden. The HydroSure Soaker Hose comes with only one end cap to stop the water from flowing out at the end of the hose. Put the end cap on the hose to keep up the water pressure in it; you may need to buy more end caps separately. You have the option to run more than one soaker hose section to different trees off the same tap or garden hose by using connectors with multiple outlets. Combine with any water controller for Automatic Watering at a time that is convenient for you. Adding a controller means no more getting up at sunrise or sunset to water your plants and the peace of mind that your plants will remain healthy whilst you are away or on holiday.
